…Bauerlin, "internet gençligi" nin dünyadan haberi olmayan, doğru ve yanlış bilgi arasında ayrım yapamayan, umursamaz-vurdumduymaz, çok yönlü düşünemeyen, sığ bir
gençlik oldugunu vurguluyor.
"Dijital Çag"ın bilindiğin aksine zeki, bilgili ve donanımlı gençler yetiştirmediğini; internet, video oyunları, bloglar ve bilgi teknolojilerinin zihinleri körelttiğini savunuyor. Hatta akıl oyunları anlamına gelen "mind games" kavramını "mind (less) games" (akılsız/sersem oyunları) olarak tanımlıyor.

“You’re an ungrateful fucking brat.” His jaw clenches.
“I can’t think of a reason why I should be grateful to you.”
“Not to me, but to your mother. You have no respect for her memory.”
“Stop using Alicia in your mind games.”
“Games? Was her death a game? Have you forgotten who caused her accident?” He tilts his head with a manic look in his black-grey eyes. “Have you forgotten how many hours she suffered before she eventually died?”
“Elsa isn’t the reason.”
“Her father is.”
“And so are you.”
He pauses for a second, his jaw ticking. “What did you just say?”
“You heard me,” I speak in my deepest, lowest tone. “You burnt that factory down, knowing Ethan would retaliate by harming your most precious things. But you know what? That’s not why Alicia died. She died because she was trapped in this world when her soul lived elsewhere. All she needed was you and me to root her here. You knew her needs, but you barely spared her your time. Your hunger for power and your ambition came first, and we were an afterthought.”
“I did all of that for you.” He grits out. “I built King Enterprises for our family.”
“Alicia never needed the power or the name, she needed you and you let her down. You killed her slowly, Jonathan. So excuse me if I don’t believe in your useless revenge plot. You should’ve protected her while she was alive.” I brush past him to grab my clothes. “I won’t repeat your mistake.”
Jonathan says nothing. He just turns around and leaves.
The door clicks loud behind him.
Hear that, Alicia? That’s Jonathan finally feeling pain. You should rest in peace now.
Active mind, youthful body
Our neurons start to age while we are still in our twenties. This process is slowed, however, by intellectual activity, curiosity, and a desire to learn.
Dealing with new situations, learning something new every day, playing games, and interacting with other people seem to be essential antiaging strategies for the mind. Furthermore, a more positive outlook in this regard will yield greater mental benefits.
“I want to be in your mind, in your heart, and in your fucking soul the way you are in mine. You and me, princess…”
“…Against the world,” I finished.

The rules of the games of the mind
The rules of the games of the mind are not as simple as the rules of chess or tennis. They are more subtle and more difficult to learn. But once you have learned them, you can play the game of life with a new sense of purpose and satisfaction.
The rules of the games of the mind are as follows:
The game is always worth playing. Even when you are losing, there is always something to learn.
The game is never about winning or losing. It is about playing to the best of your ability.
The game is about the journey, not the destination. It is about the process of learning and growing.
The game is about the challenge, not the outcome. It is about the excitement of the competition.
The game is about the fun, not the seriousness. It is about enjoying the process of playing.
Akıl oyunlarının kuralları, satranç veya tenis kuralları kadar basit değildir. Daha incelikli ve öğrenmesi daha zor. Ama bir kez öğrendikten sonra, hayat oyununu yeni bir amaç ve tatmin duygusuyla oynayabilirsiniz. Akıl oyunlarının kuralları şunlardır:
Oyun her zaman oynamaya değer. Kaybettiğinizde bile, her zaman öğrenecek bir şeyler vardır.
Oyun asla kazanmak ya da kaybetmekle ilgili değildir. Elinizden gelenin en iyisini yapmakla ilgilidir.
Oyun yolculukla ilgili, varış noktasıyla değil. Bu, öğrenme ve büyüme süreciyle ilgilidir.
Oyun, sonuçla değil, meydan okumayla ilgilidir. Yarışma heyecanından bahsediyoruz.
Oyunun ciddiyeti değil eğlencesi var. Bu, onu oynama sürecinden zevk almakla ilgilidir.
