Mustafa Kemal Atatürk died at just 57 years old.
At 7, he lost his father.
At 12, he entered military school. For the next 12 years, he studied in Selanik, Monastir and Istanbul, eventually graduating from the War Academy in 1905 at the age of 24.
At 24, he became a staff captain.
At 30, he was fighting Italian invasion in Tripoli, thousands of miles from home.
Then came the Balkan Wars. Then the First World War.
At 33, he was commanding troops at Gallipoli, facing one of the largest military campaigns ever.
At 35, he was fighting Russian army on the Eastern Front.
At 37, while the Ottoman Empire was collapsing, he was still commanding troops on the Syrian front.
Think about that. Before turning 38, he had witnessed the collapse of an empire, fought on multiple fronts, watched generations of soldiers die and experienced the devastation of a world war.
And then came 1919.
At 38, with his country under occupation and its army disbanded, he boarded an old ship and landed in Anatolia on May 19.
He resigned from the Ottoman military, putting his entire career behind him, and began organizing a national struggle.
At 39, he opened the Grand National Assembly in Ankara.
At 40, he led the nation through the Battle of Sakarya against Greek invasion.
At 41, he led the Great Offensive, bringing the War of Independence to victory.
At 42, on October 29, 1923, he proclaimed the Republic of Türkiye.
He had spent his childhood overcoming loss, his youth studying, his adulthood fighting wars, and his early forties rebuilding a nation.
57 years. An entire lifetime of struggles, sacrifices and achievements.
He could have lived an ordinary life. Instead, he dedicated his entire existence to a nation and a future generation he would never fully get to see.
Today, we are among those generations.
And we are still living in the country he fought so hard to build.
The greatest way to honor him is to understand what it took to get us here.
We remember you with endless gratitude, respect and longing.
10 November 1938 🇹🇷
@bosunatiklama Bu tip hareketli parçalar Cumhuriyet Bayrami'nda söylenir. 10 Kasim'da siir okunur, konusma yapilir veya türkü gibi yasa uygun parçalar çalinir. O nedenle kutlama gibi bu tören garip olmus
Atatürk; “Ne mutlu Türk ırkından gelene” demiyor, “Ne mutlu Türk’üm diyene” diyor. Bunu yaparken de ırkçılık tartışmalarına noktayı, ta o zamandan koyuyor.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk; fikirleri, milletimizin bağımsızlık yolunda gösterdiği mücadeledeki azim ve kararlılığı ile sadece Türk ulusunun değil, dünyanın saygısını kazanmış olan eşsiz bir liderdir.
Aziz hatırası, düşünceleri, bize armağan ettiği Cumhuriyet ilelebet yaşayacaktır.
Ulu Önder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ü ebediyete intikalinin 88. yılında sevgi, saygı, minnet ve özlemle anıyoruz.
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurucusu Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, ebediyete intikalinin 88. yılında saat 09.05’te çalan sirenlerle tüm yurtta saygı duruşuyla anıldı.

@patrickc The best part of this initiative is noted in this section "The Rhine Group convenes European leaders from government, academia, and business to discuss possible answers to these challenges for the future of Europe. Such discussions will be based on research papers.."
@thesupermanmx In cases when the last child didn't learn anything from the first child but only from parents, the last child had enough attention from parents, these ones can be more intelligent than the first one as parents learned raising a child w. 1st one and didn't repeat the same mistakes
@thesupermanmx If going to bed late follows getting up early, then despite high IQ, due to sleeping less than the biological rhythm suggests, one might not perform well at cognitive tasks during the day.
@ChrisWillx So true and there was a study about people who have cats as pets are more prone to develop traits that place them somewhere in the schizophrenia spectrum.
