Niyeti Guzel Olanin

Niyeti Guzel Olanin

'Niyeti guzel olanin, akibeti hayir olur' --- Atasozu (Anonim)

          Narrow roads of old Bodrum

I would like to explain what the above Quote means.  I will first write what it means in Turkish, as it does have a deep meaning. 

Afterwards, I will translate it to English. 

First of all, I need to explain what 'Atasozu' means.  The 'Atasozu' is used for 'sayings' 'quotes' 'proverbs' that have come from centuries past, and the author is an unknown person from society.  

Now, the Turkish meaning of the quote is written below:

Bir insan, bir sey yapmak isterse, ve yapacagi seyi onceden dusunup yapmak istemekte ise.  Ve bu yapacagi bir sey, kendisi, ailesine, mahallesine 'hayirli' ise, o zaman, sonuc olarak, bu isin sonu iyi olur.   Evet, sonuc olarak, herkez icin faydali olur.  Aksi taktirde, kotu niyeti olup, ise baslarsa, sonuc cok zararli olur, herkez icin.  

Kisacasi bu Atasozunun anlami budur.  

Bence cok anlamli bir soz idir.  

And now, the English translation. 

Before beginning a task, event or duty, make sure to understand that, the event needs to be beneficial to ones self, family and neighbourhood.  Because, if beneficial to ones self, it will be a 'positive' outcome for everyone.  However, if we have 'evil' or 'bad' intend from the beginning, the results will be detrimental to everyone. 

Basically, do the right thing from the beginning, and the result will be positive for everyone. 

Kind of a 'dark' topic today, however thought to share.
