\u0130nternette en \u00e7ok al\u0131nt\u0131 yap\u0131lan s\u00f6zlerden biri de \u015fudur: “Bundan yirmi y\u0131l sonra yapt\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131zdan \u00e7ok yapamad\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131za pi\u015fman olacaks\u0131n\u0131z.

S\u00f6z\u00fcn orjinali de \u015f\u00f6yledir: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn\u2019t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines! Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dijital d\u00fcnyan\u0131n en pop\u00fcler s\u00f6zlerinden biri olan bu paragraf hakk\u0131nda bilinmeyenler y\u0131llar sonra ortaya \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pek \u00e7ok ki\u015fi bu s\u00f6z\u00fcn Mark Twain’e ait oldu\u011funu san\u0131yordu. Bu ki\u015filerden biri de benim. Ba\u015fka \u015eehirler kitab\u0131m\u0131n Mark Twain\u2019in \u0130zinde Luzern, \u0130svi\u00e7re<\/strong> b\u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fcnde ben de bu s\u00f6z\u00fc \u015f\u00f6yle al\u0131nt\u0131lam\u0131\u015ft\u0131m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luzern\u2019de ba\u015flayan ve Aslan An\u0131t\u0131\u2019yla devam eden yolculu\u011fum Da\u011flar\u0131n Krali\u00e7esi\u2019nde son buldu. Biraz g\u00f6l, biraz da\u011f havas\u0131 derken kendimi Rigi\u2019nin zirvesinde buldum. R\u00fczg\u00e2r\u0131 arkama al\u0131p kar\u015f\u0131mda uzanan manzaray\u0131 g\u00f6z\u00fcm\u00fc k\u0131rpmadan izledim. Hayat\u0131n sundu\u011fu g\u00fczel bir f\u0131rsat\u0131 daha yakalaman\u0131n keyfini ya\u015farken Mark Twain\u2019in \u015fu s\u00f6z\u00fcn\u00fc hat\u0131rlad\u0131m: ‘Bundan yirmi y\u0131l sonra yapt\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131zdan \u00e7ok yapamad\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131za pi\u015fman olacaks\u0131n\u0131z.

Sahibinin Mark Twain oldu\u011funu san\u0131yordum. \u0130\u015fin asl\u0131 \u00f6yle de\u011filmi\u015f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bir gezgin olarak bana ilham veren en g\u00fczel s\u00f6zlerden biriydi ama bu s\u00f6z\u00fc Mark Twain s\u00f6ylememi\u015fti. Al\u0131nt\u0131lan\u0131rken herkes gibi ben de o kadar rahatt\u0131m ki ara\u015ft\u0131rmaya bile gerek duymam\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. Onun kitaplar\u0131n\u0131 okuyup hakk\u0131nda yaz\u0131lan neredeyse t\u00fcm kaynaklar\u0131 incelemi\u015ftim ama bu s\u00f6z\u00fcne hi\u00e7bir kitab\u0131nda rastlamad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131 sonradan fark ettim. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc en g\u00fcvenilir kaynaklar bile bu s\u00f6z\u00fcn alt\u0131na Mark Twain ad\u0131n\u0131 yazmaktan \u00e7ekinmemi\u015fti. Hatta The New Yorker<\/a><\/em> bile bu s\u00f6z\u00fc onun al\u0131nt\u0131s\u0131 olarak listelenmi\u015fti. Ciddi kurulu\u015flar taraf\u0131ndan do\u011fru olup olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131na bak\u0131lmaks\u0131z\u0131n bu s\u00f6z\u00fcn bu kadar \u00e7ok kez al\u0131nt\u0131lanm\u0131\u015f olmas\u0131 beni de yan\u0131ltt\u0131. Bu itiraf yaz\u0131s\u0131 da bunun sonucu olarak do\u011fdu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peki bu s\u00f6z\u00fc kim s\u00f6ylemi\u015fti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bir kayna\u011fa g\u00f6re, ilk olarak 1999 y\u0131l\u0131nda Bar\u0131\u015f G\u00fcc\u00fc taraf\u0131ndan New York gazetelerine verilen bir i\u015fe al\u0131m ilan\u0131nda bu s\u00f6z al\u0131nt\u0131lanm\u0131\u015f ve Mark Twain’e atfedilmi\u015fti. Daha sonra ABD Donanmas\u0131 taraf\u0131ndan benimsenmi\u015fti. Ger\u00e7ekten de bu kadar yayg\u0131n bir \u015fekilde atfedilmesinin nedeni de asl\u0131nda buydu. Herkes bunun Mark Twain’den geldi\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc. Kimse de sorgulamad\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ger\u00e7ekte ise bu s\u00f6z H. Jackson Brown<\/strong>‘\u0131n P.S. I Love You<\/a> adl\u0131 kitab\u0131nda yer al\u0131yordu. Brown bile bu s\u00f6z\u00fc kendisine ait olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 daha sonra a\u00e7\u0131klad\u0131. S\u00f6z\u00fc il kez annesinden duymu\u015ftu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitab\u0131n yay\u0131nland\u0131\u011f\u0131 y\u0131llarda internet \u015fimdiki kadar kullan\u0131lm\u0131yordu. Kimsenin Google’a girip arama yapma imkan\u0131 da yoktu ve s\u00f6z\u00fcn ger\u00e7ek sahibi hakk\u0131ndaki s\u0131r uzun s\u00fcre \u00e7\u00f6z\u00fclemedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Twain Ara\u015ft\u0131rmalar\u0131 Merkezi<\/a><\/strong>‘ne y\u00f6neltilen en yayg\u0131n sorulardan biri de “Bunu ger\u00e7ekten o mu s\u00f6yledi?” <\/em>sorusuydu. Konu hakk\u0131nda Mark Twain Ara\u015ft\u0131rmalar\u0131 Merkezi’nin websitesinden (marktwainstudies.com) 28 Haziran 2019 g\u00fcn\u00fc bir a\u00e7\u0131klama<\/a> yap\u0131ld\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yaz\u0131da David Sivak<\/strong>‘\u0131n CheckYourFact.com<\/a> adl\u0131 siteden yay\u0131nlanan yaz\u0131s\u0131na dikkat \u00e7ekildi. Yaz\u0131da s\u00f6z\u00fcn ilk kez H. Jackson Brown’\u0131n P.S. I Love You adl\u0131 kitab\u0131nda yer ald\u0131\u011f\u0131 belirtiliyordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
