Turkish Delights

WEEK 1 – MAY 2010


Hi Ann,

Günaydın – That is Good Morning in Turkish!

Greetings this week come from the beautiful resort of Antalya in Turkey where I have a speaking engagement and am also coaching. Being in Turkey, I thought I would share with you some Turkish proverbs. They are all gems.


Measure a thousand times; but cut once.

A nail will come out, but its hole remains.

No one knows the weight of another’s burden.

If you look after it, it will become a garden, if you don’t look after it, it will become a mountain.

If God closes one door, He opens a thousand others.


Allaha ısmarladık – That is goodbye from Turkey!

Love Ann
