Cansu Candan Ugur

AFTER THE MASTER UNION

So much has happened that the environment is a bit blurry. I take deep breaths to clear the water. I try to hear what is alive inside me.

I spent 5 weeks completing the given tasks, using an average of 20 hours a day. It felt like the time was both very long and very short. In fact, having a good flow and dynamics created this feeling of shortness in me. You get caught up in that flow and do what is necessary. In fact, I used to think that it would be easy to just do your job without thinking about what to do and how. As someone who does their own job, I used to think that I wish I could just do my job without thinking about the reason or the result. I was right. On the other hand, I see that the real journey is starting now.

When I look at what I have inside me emotionally, I see friendship, fellowship, pride and trust in the first step. As someone who grew up in an extremely competitive school environment, I first encountered collaboration at university. This feeling made me happy then. The fellowship I experience here is realized by educated, competent individuals in their fields for the same purpose in different lanes. This created a tremendous synergy. The phrase “determination is honed with innovation” in fancy promotional films came true in what I experienced here. I saw how competent people can produce quality work with the right program. Everyone is unique and valuable. But we can’t find the environments where we can reveal this. This training and entrepreneurial warriorship is exactly the environment for this. No one acted superior to anyone else, no one acted arrogant. When they didn’t feel this, everyone put forth what they had in their pockets more and we achieved a good synergy. I am 37 years old and I haven’t had many moments where I felt this fellowship.

Before, I used to think that I would find myself fighting with Coach Berke due to intensity and fatigue. Fights entered my dreams. But when I was involved, I was at a different level. I wanted to succeed. I was concentrated. I had received a “Do what is necessary” bracelet. This sentence always echoed in my mind. Cansu, do what is necessary! I felt like I wanted to get away for a bit the week before the end. That didn’t last long either. I never thought about quitting. I know myself, while I was expecting to be at a more combative level, I found myself in a more listening and calm place. I felt such a transformation in myself. I really liked this Cansu. I want to learn to listen more.

When I encounter a difficulty and intensity, I will remember this period and the way I face it will be different.

There are two sentences left for me at the end of this training.

Every pain passes.

Do what is necessary.

I am very happy with these gains.
