BİTMEYEN ENERJİ VE İLERLEME | Esra Beyzadeoğlu | TEDxHisar School Youth
Esra Beyzadeoğlu, 25 yıldır iş hayatında aktif olarak yer almış ve birçok kez TEDx etkinliklerinde konuşmacı olmuştur. Bu konuşmasında “Bazen fark etmediklerimizi fark etmek çok kıymetli.”
diyerek, değişime uyum sağlamanın ve çalışkan olmanın hayatındaki en önemli değerler olduğunu vurguladı.
Özgeçmişinde yer alan “Bitmeyen Enerji ve İlerleme” mottosuyla konuşmasına başlayan Beyzadeoğlu, en çok ihtiyaç duyduğu ve geliştirilmesi gerektiğini düşündüğü kavramın “resilience” (dayanıklılık)
olduğunu belirtti. Bu kavramın, zorluklarla mücadele edip uyum sağlama yeteneği olduğunu ve kendisinin de zamanla bunu öğrendiğini ifade etti.
Beyzadeoğlu, çocukken ailesinin yoğunluğu nedeniyle sık sık evde yalnız kaldığını ve onlara “Üzülmeyin, ben evde yalnız kalırım.” diyerek kendi
sorumluluğunu üstlendiğini aktardı. Daha sonraki yıllarda yatılı Fen Lisesi’ne gittiğinde akademik zorluklar ve hırslı insanlarla karşılaştığını, ilk
sınavında aldığı düşük notun onu sarstığını, hatta kendisine okuldan ayrılmayı bile düşündürdüğünü. ancak ailesinin fedakârlıklarını hatırlayarak yoluna devam ettiğini belirtti. Nietzsche’nin “Bizi öldürmeyen
şey güçlendirir.” sözünü rehber edinerek her geçen gün dayanıklılığını artırdı.
Babasını en “resilient” insanlardan biri olarak gördüğünü, Anadolu’da doğup büyüyen babasının, çok çalışarak profesör olduğunu ifade edip “Size
bir şey verilmiyor, siz alıyorsunuz.” diyerek, çaba göstermenin önemine dikkat çekti.
Başarının kutlanması gereken bir şey olduğunu belirten Beyzadeoğlu, konuşmasını Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün hayatından ilham alarak tamamladı. “Hepimizin tanıdığı en dayanıklı insan Atatürk’tür.” diyerek, “Çaresiz kaldığında Atatürk gibi düşün.” sözünü hatırlattı. Beyzadeoğlu, önündeki 15 yılı daha dirençli ve azimli şekilde geçirmek
istediğini belirterek Atatürk’ün şu sözüyle konuşmasını noktaladı:
“Umutsuz durumlar yoktur, umutsuz insanlar vardır. Ben hiçbir zaman umudumu yitirmedim.”
