Take time to Think (Why El Bulli is famous?)

This summer I visited Foundation El Bulli. El Bulli was the world's number 1 restaurant for 10 years. How did chef Ferran Adria turn a small beach bar into the world's top restaurant? He took time to think.

Mr. Conor. I am an American currently living in Istanbul. I did what you just said in this video. I took time away from the states to come here to experience a different culture for a while. It’s very inspiring. I would love to meet you if you are still in the city. Best regards.

[@ConorNeill]

Already left… but definitely will be back. We loved our time in Istanbul

[@dominik95801]

Thank you Mr. Neill, what a wonderful being you are! I strive to be the leader you are!

[@belaruska-volha]

Istanbul is a magical place for our thinking!!! I love this city, because you can find inspiration there. Happy New Year! 🎉

Absolutely magical - the sun rising over the Asian part of the city, the call for prayer, the colours of the sky - this was a beautiful morning

Did not want to disturb you when you were having lunch with your family😅 Professor. Glad you made a video from Istambul.

[@cuigthallann4091]

Coner keep it up. I am so grateful fir your we wisdom. It is priceless. God has some new path for you that will soon make all the struggles worth it

[@ConorNeill]

Thank you 🙏

[@cuigthallann4091]

@@ConorNeill I find that sometimes if we review our long held assumptions that changing them will put us back on a more successful path.Think about wat we assumed to be good and think if there are alternatives we missed. Just a thought. And, remember the significant contribution s that Irish people have made but recognized for.

Istanbul? I don't have that much money to spend (I'm too stupid- I mean, you know; I can leave Poland and I'll be smart and rich ;) But that reminded me of the words of a certain artist: "I've been rich and poor and I prefer to be rich" :D:D:D Interesting- that shows the main value of money; if you have a lot of it, you can ONLY focus on important matters (otherwise you have an "open thought process" in your head). To sum up- it's better to be rich so that... you can ONLY think and act ;))) *The greatest wisdom (or at least one of the main ones) is to have very smart/ wise friends, because then "you can combine pleasure with learning", because "a good friend sharpens our character" :)

[@Camarda9Francesco]

what do you think is the purpose of travelling besides of thinking

[@amachuseyin]

Me, as a CS sutdent. Sure, ofc I don't have 4 hours long tasts in a day lol

[@sadettinavcilar]

Welcome to my city

[@ConorNeill]

Beautiful place 🏰

[@ShakilShahadat]

As a Muslim, I appreciate you starting your video with the Muslim's call for prayer.

[@ConorNeill]

We were staying right next to the Blue Mosque and each morning we could hear the call for prayer very clearly. The people in the city were so kind to us and especially to my young daughter ;-)

[@muzzammelqarizadah7511]

I like you so much❤ Specifically your videos about speaking and doing everthing practical. Please study Islam You will find it the best guide for living the best life(As you mentioned in your speechs that if we do not practice nothing will change it is also true about Islam), also do not judge Islam trough ISIS or Taliban❤

[@khawlasniki]

It's a really beautiful city, and hearing the call to prayer makes you feel very comfortable. Search for Islam, it is a religion of peace and tranquility. ❤
