Have you heard of the "5-hour rule," a habit shared by some of the world's most successful people?

Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg—among the world's most successful people in their fields—dedicate 5 hours per week to reading. This three-stage process begins by acquiring habits of reading, deep reflection and experimentation. A lifelong passion for learning and reading are the golden rules of successful people. Looking inward, setting everything aside in the moment to focus solely on our abilities and supporting this with education brings success along with it. And regardless of circumstances, maintaining the 5-hour weekly routine is important. If people this busy and accomplished make time for reading a habit, then we can certainly organize this process as well. In the final issue of 2019, we conducted an enjoyable interview with Murat LeCompte, Corporate Communications Director at SOCAR Türkiye, on the company's national and international strength, fields of activity and objectives for the coming years. Mr LeCompte also answered our questions regarding the importance of technology for SOCAR Türkiye and sustainable energy use. Our other interview was with Oya Aksoy Gülen, Managing Partner at Likit Kimya, discussing the company's fields of activity, the sectors it serves and its objectives for the coming years. In our Country Report section, you can read the article titled "The Heart of Industry in Western Europe: Belgium." In our Nobel Prize section, you can find information about the 2019 Chemistry Prize related to "Lithium-Ion Batteries." I wish you years filled with contentment, health, joy and peace. Now it is time to grab your coffee and magazine for a brief pause… Enjoy your reading. With warm regards… Serap Kaptan - Editorial Director - Editor-in Chief
