Lovely morning.Knowing the basics and common sense is a very important part of life. Society is built on these basics, and these basics have been developed over many years to help each of us live a happier life. And it is because we know these principles that, when we laugh at a comedy show, for example, it is because the comedians are doing something completely different from what we expect and beyond our expectations. When we see a film and we are thrilled, stunned and moved, it is because something we never imagined is happening on the big screen in front of us.
In other words, a good knowledge of the basics may make our lives more enjoyable and interesting. When we practice the piano, we always practice the scales so that all the fingers move smoothly. This makes it easier for us to move our fingers and therefore to play beautiful songs more beautifully. Athletes also run, stretch and train their muscles. They do this every day so that they can get the most out of their workout, and also to develop the basic strength of their body so that they don’t get injured.
If a person does not know the basics and says that they are not necessary or that they are meaningless, he or she may not know the greatest joy. It is only when you have the basics that you will have the basic strength to do what you want to do, to maximise your potential and to do more than that. It would be a pity if our minds and bodies did not know that by building on the basics, we can perform in a way that pleases us and others, we can do a variety of jobs, study, score well in sports and perform brilliantly.
However, there is no doubt that the basics and common sense seem to remain fundamentally the same, but in fact they are gradually changing with time. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the ability to adapt to these changes. Whether it is a beautiful performance on stage or in the arena, or a persuasive presentation at work, it is not simply a matter of having the talent to do so. It is because they have worked towards their dream, taking on new challenges every day, while building on the basic skills needed to make that dream come true. And if each one of us could build up something little by little and get closer to what we dream of, and if we could cherish the small joys we feel every day, our lives and our hearts would be more enriched and fulfilled.
