“Baba” (father) is a word that means and sounds the same in Turkish, Persian, Sanskrit, and Chinese, and it is also used in Western languages with slight differences. Although this word is the same or similar in many languages, as a part of the changes we go through, the meaning of being a father is changing.
Fathers are no longer simply responsible for making money, they have many other responsibilities as well. If we adopt and implement change and diversity in every aspect of our lives and assume various responsibilities, we can set better examples to our children. Thus, they will also assume different roles in their lives and be more successful in the changing world. Being a father means being a compass for children in every phase of life…
I celebrate this special day of fathers and respectfully commemorate the ones who passed away, but entrusted their selfless, disciplined, hardworking children to us and to our country.
Happy Father’s Day!
