Everything must meet with life so that it can come alive and exist. As the hadith says, read little but often and continuously, it should be regular. Change when you get bored and read in different fields. Apart from reading in many fields, I read novels when I get bored. Do so.”Mahsum Aytepe in his speech; “The Power of Ideas: Multicultural Life License” in his speech. Aytepe, who especially touched upon the concept of being amazed, said, “Being amazed and admired is one of the most special talents of human beings.
