    How to design your life: 1- deconstruct your life and take away the parts you don’t like 2- identify your values and define your heroes and why they are your hero. Your heroes connect you do your values. 3- reconstruction: based on your values: How to design your life: create a tree (actually draw one): consider your roots. Where do you come from. How has that defined you. The trunk: what you present to the world, branches: the future. 4- Expression: visualize the life you want to live to make it happen. Be playful and optimistic throughout. Design an original life that is coherent with who you are and what you stand for and even how you like it to smell. Go live it.

    The most important thing about this video is to let you know that you have the possibility to design your future. It means that only you can choose your dreams and goals, you have the power to decide about your life, if you think you need it you can change your lifestyle because you can do as many things as you think you can. It is important to take the advantages that life gives you to get far And remember, your lifestyle depends on you.

    I'm glad to see that someone is finally beginning to see, that design is more than just aesthetics/fashion. The better you are at engineering, the better you are recognizing the value of function. The better you are at valuing function, the better you are at engineering. It's a positive feedback loop. You'll get there. It's your life, and only can live it. Good luck.

    Hi, so life is our biggest project, we have to be objectives with our life, we have to see it in another point of view, just like seeing the same parts of our life differently and being the best at what we love. Ayse said that our values are the foundation of our life. I think that sometimes we visualize our life in a not concrete way, almost without ideals and we never really see what matters, what really matters to us. We need to reconstruct ourselves from the inside to the outside.

    According to Birsel the life is our big project,which is designed with values, that it must be original and describe as we really are. I want to stand out the steps that are mentioned by Birsel in the video are: First, deconstruct your life. Second, identify your values and define your heroes. Third, reconstruction: based on your values and, finally expression: visualize the life you want to live to make it happen. She gaves a messange "If you can visualize your goals, then you will do it". In my opinion I agree because she expose that the best way for living is be happy and the best part of the video was when Ayse said " when you were a child you dindt have fraid to do errors", for this reason I like this video.

    This video leaves us a very beautiful teaching for our lives as people, it teaches us to be objectives, to have objectives and goals to fight for day by day, not to give up easily until we achieve our purposes, to have objectives both to improve and people and for our future, this also depends on the decisions we make, we must make decisions for our good, but not crush others, this is not only about being objective, but also we must be kind and help others and not only see for our sake, but obviously our priority is us but in that process, we can also help those who need and be successful not by leaving others aside but apart from being objective for being kind and generous with the rest.

    Life is the biggest project you need to do what you want and what you need example work to be able to satisfy your needs. one of the things we must not forget is to learn from our mistakes like the children who try and do not give up, as if we had super powers, also not to forget to express our values, to be objective, to analyze that what I do is my future without wasting my time, to build my life like a tree.
