A​ career in entertainment can be incredibly gratifying. However, it's a long road to the top, and achieving success takes a tremendous amount of talent, commitment, and perseverance.

Becoming a successful actor is a dream so many creative individuals cherish, but it is a tough business to break into no matter where you are in the world. No one understands this more than renowned Turkish Actor Bahadır Ünlü. 

Bahadır is a Turkish director, actor, stuntman, and influencer. A life lived with no limits; Bahadır is all about people, energy, socializing, and activities that satisfy his craving for action. "Life is meant to be lived to the fullest," states Bahadır. "Don't be afraid to chase what makes you happy." 

In an exclusive chat, the "Aquarium," actor shared his three top life lessons from his own unique experience as an established global actor.

Never give up!

"​Perseverance is everything," explains Bahadır. "If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Don't give up on a dream because it's hard. Success is built on the backbone of failure, and that is all about embracing challenges." Bahadır isn't afraid to take on a challenge. He doesn't give up. He understands that challenges provide growth, and that is how you get to the top.

Y​our past does not define your future.

"​I have a difficult past. It was trying," states Bahadır. "I try my best not to forget those days, but I also remind myself that those days are behind me." Bahadır tries not to let his difficult past cloud the brightness of his future. "Life is all about where you are headed. Stay focused on that," explains Bahadır.

Every moment is a gift.

Bahadır clings true to the fact that we only get one life, and we must work hard to get what we want out of it. "When I look back at my life, I have no regrets," says Bahadır. "I love my life and my work, and I wouldn't have done anything differently. I believe everyone deserves the right to chase after what they believe in." Going after what we want in life isn't easy, but if we look at Bahadır, who has appeared on multiple television networks, including Persiana TV as an example clearly, it can be done. 

Bahadır is fortunate due to his positive attitude and dedication to his career. With many appearances in Turkish, English, and German movies already under his belt, Bahadır is excited to reach international audiences as his influence grows. Bahadır laughs, "I've made it this far. Why would I stop now?" Bahadır has talent and energy unique to a man that knows what he wants. For Bahadır, success is just the icing on the cake.
