Ankara


Name & Surname?

Nihan Bostancı

What is your title?

Accessory, Toy and Local Category Director

Where would you most like to live?

The Mediterranean of my homeland is a paradise. I live anywhere on the Mediterranean coast. As long as it's "blue"! As long as my family and my loved ones are with me...

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

My sentimentality... Because I am overly emotional, I act based on my feelings rather than my logic. I can be broken very quickly because I have a sensitive structure.

What is your favorite feature?

I like to share my table, my love, what I have gained, my feelings and thoughts, and most importantly, what I have experienced. What I want to emphasize here is “quality sharing.” I believe that we will multiply as we share. In sort, I really like my sharing skills.

What is your greatest fear?

Fear of losing... Everyone in my life is precious to me. What I have now are my indispensables! I'm afraid of losing everything and everyone I care about.

Which talent would you most like to have?

Definitely “art” …. Especially painting... Unfortunately, I can't even draw “a stick figure”, so I'm that bad. I even passed my painting classes at school thanks to the pictures my sister drew. My sister is insanely talented at this; I've always admired her talent. I would very much like to paint everything I dreamed of, the beauties I saw.

Who is your favorite hero in history?

Frida Kahlo… Frida Kahlo, who emphasizes that every woman has a great stamina in her... “Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.” The person which I can say "That's it!"

What features do you want your friends to have?

Honesty, diligence, sacrifice, but most importantly, I want them to be respectful. I think that where respect is in the first place, there will be all the good qualities.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I didn't want to change anything. I love myself for who I am. I am very much in favor of naturalism. I even love my most disliked trait, I say I'm glad to I have it.

What is your favorite occupation?

My indispensable is to deal with the soil that gives a thousand when you give one. My house has a small garden, but it is worth a life... I enjoy reaping what I sow, generating a huge world out of nothing but flowers, or rather, creating it. “Produce” and “therapy” side by side add tremendous calmness to my life.

What is your greatest regret?

You may not believe it, but I have no regrets. I never said “I wish,” I always said “fortunately.”

When and where were you happiest?

I love spending weekends in my little garden with my loved ones, my wife and my little son (my dog Bulut). Being alone with nature with my flowers, which I watch grow day by day with my long invested of labor. There are times when I feel the power of green.

What is your motto?

Hold on to your dreams, accomplish the impossible, challenge the hardships, push your limits, and never give up!
