The “Second Curve” in Life and Business

  The Importance of Transitioning to the Second Curve in life transitioning to the second curve in life is a crucial factor . Without reaching the end of the first path, why do you consider it right to move to the second path without hesitation ? One thing must not be forgotten: having alternative options in life allows a person to easily navigate out of the most complex situations and prevents harm to their personality and social status due to negative events. I believe this is essential.

Charles Handy , in his book The Second Curve , rightly states , ” Before the decline of the first curve, transitioning to a new direction is true success . ” This clearly indicates that in life , a person should not be limited to one thing but should always seek new directions and hobbies.

Transitioning to the second curve may seem difficult at times because our close ones or family members may not understand this. They might ask , “Why do you need this? What will you do? Everything is fine with you,” and similar questions can continue. However , considering that not everything in life goes as we expect or desire, we can respond to such questions by saying, ” Yes , everything can be in my life , but I always want to open myself to new things, and I hope you understand my decisions . “

    No matter how important the first curve is in life , transitioning to the second curve can be challenging because the beginning of the path always seems difficult. Repeated efforts, failures, and great experience are needed to carry both curves simultaneously, and of course, resilience is also required. When choosing a new path, it is essential not to be passive and to clearly define goals and objectives. Every step taken should be well thought out, just like in a chess game. Sometimes, in both personal and social life, we may not have enough courage to transition to the second curve. One of the main reasons for this is the fear left by past memories. If a person cannot overcome this fear, they lose themselves , their values , and even their identity . In the end , this only harms themselves .

  Courage is about learning from the past , accepting it , and living with hope for better things . Transitioning to the second curve and giving oneself another chance is very important . In life , a person who does not make mistakes is not themselves , but correcting those mistakes and learning from them is not something everyone can do .

   Embracing Growth and Overcoming Fear in Life one of the essential principles when transitioning to the second curve in life is always being ready to grow and learn. As a person learns, they become more adept at navigating life’s complexities. Despair becomes foreign to such individuals. Only those who extract the necessary lessons from every fall and pain can advance boldly in life without fear . Fear is the opposite of victory , whether in personal or social life .

Constantly fearing risks , a person may only console themselves with past memories, endlessly lamenting , ” Why is not my life like theirs ? ” Such thoughts lead to stress and stagnation. Taking a step forward with courage can change many things in life. If success follows, it’s a reward; if not, it becomes a lesson and motivation to try again.

Facing fear with confidence the only effective way to overcome fear is to look it straight in the eye. No matter how difficult it may seem, everything that happens in our lives occurs for a reason and only in certain parts of our journey. Even people we encounter are part of this. Pain and challenges serve to strengthen and enrich us. Initially, these words might sound unusual, but as time passes, when presented with an opportunity to choose a different path, old roads and familiar faces may reappear . In those moments , we must remember the new steps we’ve taken. The past cannot be undone , and the future hasn’t arrived yet . Therefore , to live today as we’ve always dreamed, we must be willing to transition to the second curve , even if the first curve has not concluded.

  Physical fatigue is insignificant if the spirit remains strong. If fears are not conquered, life may seem meaningless . That’s why we should always be open to new paths and goals. “Just because it did not work once does not mean it never will.” Renewed effort, confidence, and patience will lead you to the results you seek.

   Another remarkable sentence from Charles Handy ‘s book that resonated with me is: “Money is a good servant but a bad master.” This emphasizes that earning money should not become our sole purpose; instead, we should view it as a mere tool. Money is akin to a deceitful friend — It remains with us only as long as we can control it . The duration of its presence depends on how we manage our relationship with it . The Role of Money and Our Relationship with It . Money should merely serve as a tool to achieve our goals , not become the ultimate objective . If we make earning money our sole purpose, we risk losing control over it. Our values and dignity, especially in the eyes of our loved ones, should not be measured by wealth. In this world, not everything can be bought with money , nor is everything measured by it. Therefore, we must focus on what truly matters to us and treat money as a servant, not a master, to avoid losing our true selves.

We should not work for money ; rather , money should work for us. If we allow money to dictate our actions, we risk straying from our path.

    The Importance of Making Independent Decisions in Life one of the greatest acts of kindness we can do for ourselves in this life is to be able to make our own decisions . When someone else makes decisions on our behalf , we become like puppets, losing our autonomy. In such situations, life loses its meaning and excitement. What I mean to convey here is that in life, when choosing the second path , it is crucial that our loved ones do not exert undue influence on us . Only by acting based on our own principles and decisions can we reach the pinnacle of success . Whether people see our failures depends entirely on us. One of the key secrets to success is the ability to keep things confidential . Not everything happening in our lives should be shared with everyone, because not everyone wishes us well . Choosing the Second Curve: A personal journey when you opt for the second curve in life, keep it to yourself . Let your results speak for you. The less we engage in exhausting debates and the more we distance ourselves from people who drain our energy, the easier and more effective our journey toward our goals becomes.

    Achieving Success in Business: Embracing the Second Curve in business, to attain success, it is essential to develop a comprehensive plan that considers every aspect, including both positive and negative factors. Only by doing so can we ensure that when we transition to the second curve , our lives open up to positive paths . Embracing change and being able to accept each innovation correctly and attentively transforms a true businessman into a professional who possesses a personal brand and does not lose himself in the market . Transitioning to the Second Curve: Embracing New Opportunities the first curve in life serves as a test, while the second curve represents opportunity and experience. This principle is fundamental both in life and in business . Stepping out of comfortable circumstances and creating a new era for ourselves is facilitated by embracing the second curve. 

      The Power of Self-Confidence in Life and Business the greatest success and the strongest driving force in life and business is our self-confidence . It transcends all other factors . Only we and our actions can propel us forward . No matter how many times our efforts seem futile , our ability to find strength to start anew depends on our self-confidence. Even when transitioning to the second curve without completing the first , this confidence is crucial . Taking steps forward and embracing risks are fundamentally driven by our belief in ourselves . Maintaining Confidence and taking bold steps forward . No matter what happens , we must strive to never lose our self-confidence . If we fall , we fall to the ground , not to the sky. Every step taken with confidence is rarely accompanied by mistakes or shortcomings . Some defeats serve as tests of our willpower . Rather than hesitating and standing still , we should make plans and set goals to take bold steps forward with unwavering confidence .

Summary : Embracing the Second Curve with Confidence and Action in summary , transitioning to the second curve in life and business represents a pivotal opportunity for growth and success . However , this shift also brings challenges such as uncertainty and fear. The key to navigating this transition lies in our self -confidence and proactive efforts . While we cannot change the past or undo the first curve , we have the power to shape our future . By embracing the second curve with determination and clarity , we open doors to new possibilities and achievements . 

BEKHBUDIY: CALL OF ONE HEART, ONE IDEA, ONE CENTURY

“Turon, what is your state, vying with the stars?
Thousands of separate heads—Freedom, why not come?
Find your own opportunity—Nation, why not rise?
Time will not wait. Will the heart not beat?
It is a companion to fear… Should I live like this?
Your death is nigh.”
(Najmiddin Ermatov)

Uzbekistan, my radiant land, the home of the golden cradle generation where the sun sleeps in your veranda when you sing a “alla”, where white “to’n and “adras” robes suit well, adorned with silk belts; the land of Mahmudkhoja Bekhbudiy, Fitrat, and Chulpan; a bright nation where faith and Islam are perpetual companions! My dearest sun-filled land, an oasis where the architect of the Taj
Mahal, the engineer of the Nile, and the Imam Bukhariys originated; where spring whispers in winter, and gold blossoms in the soil! My heavenly nation, a pearl of the East, that has captured the morning shimmer of the sun in its orbits, a stellar land that has made both the sun and the stars fall in love with it!

My chest is full of pride that the great Turkistan enlighteners, who endured all hardships for the happiness and prosperity of this country and sacrificed their lives to lead the homeland from darkness to light, are my ancestors. The feeling and glorification of the homeland are inherent in the heart of every person who grew up on the soil of Mulki Turon. When talking about the brave sons ready to give their lives for their country, the difficult lives of our Venerable Jadids, who raised them in the spirit of the homeland, and simultaneously the dawn suns who opened the eyes of our nation, serve as an example for everyone.

“If we, the Turanians, spend the money we use for weddings and funerals on the path of science and religion, we will soon progress like the Europeans, and both we and our religion will gain prestige and development. If we continue in our current state, we will have nothing but humiliation and misery in religion and the world.”

The people were in a deep sleep of negligence. Yes, these were the words of Bekhbudiy spoken at a time when other intellectuals were bursting forth from within, like a volcano, with the cry of “freedom”… The more we study the history, life, and activities of these national luminaries, the more they remain alive, and the unfulfilled desires scratching a corner of our hearts are reincarnated. They are
rivers that have overflowed their banks and flowed backwards, untamable stallions restless in chains, the frothing blood of the nation, the life of enlightenment that has reached the throat in the face of ignorance. The Jadids are the new echo of the questions sought from the essence of the homeland, the tears that flowed behind the eyes of Mother Turkestan, whose heart was filled with lamentation; they are the very identity of this country, the root veins of New Uzbekistan.

They were lessons incarnate, brought into the world to explain the value of the gift called life, the honor and respect of a human being, and what it means to be worthy of one’s nation and homeland. The goal of these innovators, who did not fit into the despotic system and had their own new world and ideology, was the noble pursuit
of opening the nation’s eyes, achieving the days of progress for the people of Turkestan, reaching the world through educated national cadres, and building a free civil society on the foundation of enlightenment and culture.

Striving to reform and renew a backward country, its education system, Bekhbudiy despaired with the “needs of the nation” in his heart, saying, “This path leads to a bad end; we must learn and teach,” and never lost hope for our present day until his
execution.

Have you seen the softly rustling, burning candles in the dark night? They flicker faintly, continuously and orderly spreading light. This light has the power to illuminate the entire night. Mahmudkhoja Bekhbudiy was such a candle of light. He selflessly sacrificed himself, like a shieldless victim, to return the sun to the dark, unattended heart of a slumbering nation. It was exactly Behbudiy who launched the wingless birds of the darkness of illiteracy into the sky of science,
“drowned” the thirsty fish in the ocean of endless books, and acted as the rider for the unsaddled horses.

Mahmudkhoja dreamed of seeing the Uzbek people on equal footing with developed nations, and he stood out among the mature Jadids of the period of intellectual awakening with his worldview and activities. In his view, the school alone was not enough for enlightenment. It was necessary to keep up with the times and world events, to be aware of the condition, and daily life, of the nation and homeland. Therefore, society needed a mirror in which it could see both its ugliness and its beauty. This need and necessity led Bekhbudiy to theater and the press.

“Padarkush” came into existence during this period. The author called this work a “national tragedy,” and it tells the story of ignorance and folly, where an uneducated child falls into corrupt ways and kills his own parents. Despite its small size, the lesson to be learned from it is extremely important. The life path and scientific and social activities of this enlightener, who tried his best to light the candle of the future in people’s hearts, are an endless example for us, as are his works and instructive ideas.

In particular, there is a lesson in Behbudiy’s attitude towards world phenomena. His discretion in distinguishing between friend and foe is immaculate. The evidence he provided to prove his views is strong. The weights of his balance scale are not hollow inside. That is why dozens of names of Eastern scholars and titles of works appear in the content of his articles. Since he knew Russian perfectly, he
referred to Russian books and the ideas of Russian scientists. There is great pain, a great dream, and meaning embodied in the communication, awareness, and cry of His Holiness Bekhbudiy with world civilization, world scientists, and world-famous books. For instance, in his article “Islahi Tahsil” (Reform of Education), he
wrote, “We should send students to Egypt to systematically study general religious and Arabic literature and learn the methods of education there.” In this regard, he freely expressed his recommendation.

Bekhbudiy is the star that defines the nation’s new path! Bekhbudiy is the gazelle staring into the far distance, trying to save its herd from predators! Bekhbudiy is the rope that fell into the hands of executioners and is preventing the innocent from perishing! Bekhbudiy is the compassionate soul worried about the lifeless, impoverished people, astonished by the populace that has even forgotten religion! Bekhbudiy is the love whose heart is burning while looking at those smiling as they die! Bekhbudiy is the tightrope walker carefully passing the pearl of knowledge from one heart to another above those silently watching! What an honor that Mahmudkhoja was born like the sun, with such dedication fixed in his
body and soul.

Indeed, the Jadids were not ordinary people. They opened new method schools and created textbooks. They enriched our language with writing and linguistic units. They worked tirelessly, like swallows trying to awaken the sleep in people’s eyes. They went from village to village, knocking on doors saying, “We have brought knowledge, please accept it.” The pen was their sword, every letter put on
paper served them like a soldier. They published newspapers and magazines, wanting to awaken the nation with only one thing—the truth. Prison chains, years of exile, and even the executioner’s sword could not stop them. All of them sacrificed their lives on the path of their sweet dreams. Is there a greater, more magnificent deed than this for a nation?

True, this enlightenment movement, which urged the future towards light and stirred Turkestan, encountered great obstacles, was erased from the pages of history, the national leaders were branded as
“nationalists,” and the bright faces were blackened. However, neither chained legs nor bound hands could turn the Jadids, who have taken an eternal place in the consciousness of the young generation, away from the path of enlightenment. The secret of eternity lies precisely in this commitment and self-sacrifice.

“Oh Turkistan, did you manage to preserve the second pearls emerging from the shells? Did you not accept with a torn and patched shroud those who honored you with poems that sang of your love in every line? Oh Turkistan, did you stand by silently when the riders galloping in the field of literature were whipped on the head? Did you not share sustenance from your fields and dastarkhans, becoming a ready meal for those who trampled your sacred soil? Oh Turkistan, did you ever throw the stones that muddled the water back at them? Even if evil deeds and the most sordid events occurred in your past, could you loudly proclaim the thousands of treasures
of enlightenment, the priceless jewels of knowledge within your chest?

Turkistan, every dream of yours has a unique secret, every night of yours is adorned with divine inspiration. Turkistan, we bow to every wind of yours, we cherish every flower of yours. We will shine as stars in your sky, we will pay our debts as children on your lands, we will be the generation that preserves your power!

In conclusion, our ancestors, who dreamed of seeing their colonized homeland among the world’s developed countries by fighting against ignorance and defending the nation’s honor, have achieved their goals today. Now, we, the owners of today, have a strong duty not to forget that we must realize the centuries-old dreams of our ancestors, preserve the land where peace reigns, and
make the youth understand whose descendants we are through our aspirations, participation in reforms, and initiatives.

Indeed, the future of New Uzbekistan is a glorious responsibility entrusted to our shoulders. As Bekhbudiy emphasized: “Oh
zealous youth! The time is yours. Unite with each other, build societies, and serve the nation’s cause.”

THE NEO-MORALITIES AND POSTMODERN TIMES

Dr. Jernail Singh Anand

“Moral values reflect the mores of a society, such as goodness,
fairness, truth etc. as in the past. Can we apply the values of the past, which no longer govern our modern society, to castigate the forward looking people of our society?”

When we mention the word ‘moral’, the ideas of goodness, honesty, fairness and righteousness, well up in our mind. These were the ideals which moved our past generations. But for the great men of
today, these words are like moral tortures. Can we call their behaviour immoral if they are just following the neo-morality of
our times which has come to stay in society?

Let us go back a bit to the root of the word ‘moral’. It has a historical connection with ‘mores’. We get moral from the Latin word ‘moralis’ which is drawn from ‘mos’ meaning ‘custom’ or ‘habit’. The derivation of ‘moral’ from ‘mores’ shows that moral values are shaped by cultural and social norms of a society. Historically, many societies have valued honesty, kindness and fairness which were reflected
in their value system. As mores evolve over time, it is natural the concept of moral values will also change.

Presently, it is thought that morality stands for goodness, fairness, honesty, and a value-based living style. In this way, immoral constitutes anything that violates the moral code of a society, the ‘mores’ which form the ‘custom’ base of a social set up. The society in which we are living, it is very difficult to say it is based on old
moral principles. When we indict this society, we are using the moral yardstick which belongs to the social mores of times which have gone by.

What are the ‘mores’ of this society? What are its ‘customs’ and what the ‘habits of the people? In other words, what type of moral culture we have created that sustains our society? If we cast a neutral look, we will be shocked to discover that ‘good’, ‘fairness’, ‘honesty’ are absconding. In their place, the ‘mores’ of our society include ‘dishonesty’ ‘unfair behaviour’ and ‘corruption’. If we go by the
formation of the word ‘moral’, then ‘these’ are the mores from which we can deduce moral values of these times.

It is a painful revelation that according to this phenomena, corruption, unfairness, dishonesty, ‘tam sam dand bhed’ are the values which create the moral stratosphere of our society. Just as in the past, the law would take care of the people who did not believe in truth and honesty, they were put behind the bars; applying the same yardstick, people who violate the canons of the post-modern society, those who do not believe in hatred, dishonesty, untruth, falsehood, lies, and unfair conduct, – are ‘dangerous’ elements, not fit to live in this
society, because they do not accept and honour its moral values. So, law will take care of such people, even if they are righteous, and their conduct is good.

The basics of good conduct in this evolved society are: you should have a compatible mind set, compromising nature, adjustable
attitude, fear God and visit shrines ostensibly, but go for evil whenever it helps you. There is nothing bad if you get
your work done with the help of money. If you grab the wealth of another person, nobody can drag you to a court of law,
because it is the morally accepted value of the society in which the apex people believe and practise.

Religion has a great role to play in the evolved set up. It blesses the people who make great offerings. From where the money comes, it is none of their business. Those who stick their head out in the name
of honesty, truth and goodness, they stand to lose it. It should not be forgotten that a religion flourishes on the strength of state
power. When state power is involved, everything is passe.

In a nutshell, the truthful, fair and the honest of past times are ‘unsocial elements’ for the postmodern society who spread immortality. The moral values of the postmodern society stand for ‘tam sam dand bhed’. Man is larger than society, do whatever you can to accumulate wealth and enjoy it the way you like. It is a free
society, where even religion and law have to lionize the style of living of the rich people and label it as morally upright. Only those films are hit which violate all sacred norms upheld by the bygone era.

While the front liners of the society believe in the neo-moralities, the poor masses are given the dose of ‘satay kathas’ from holy scriptures. There is a clash of two value systems in the name of morality. This is because major portions of society are kept
confused in the old times, while the front-liners of modern society have accepted the neo-morality of the post-modern times.

ABSTRACT
This article analyzes the essence of the close and inseparable relationship between family and society in Uzbekistan, as well as its social, spiritual, and legal foundations.

Keywords: Family, society, values, sacred institution, family relations, social institution, mahalla.

INTRODUCTION
The family is the fundamental unit of society and a sacred institution. In the main document that drives the life of the country — the Constitution — special emphasis is placed on the family. The Constitution states that the family is the basic unit of society and that every family is under the protection of the state. The role of the family is extremely important in enhancing the spirituality of any state and presenting it to the world, because a person’s pure emotions and human qualities are formed and embodied within the family.

As the most important social institution of society, the family plays a significant role in human development and in the formation of national values. The research highlights the role of state policy and the mahalla institution in ensuring family stability, raising young people as well-rounded individuals, and strengthening social stability. Historically, the nature of family and marriage relations, as well as the attitudes of scholars and thinkers toward these values, have been considered highly important and of great practical significance.

The development of the system of family relations has resulted in a decrease in the number of people entering into marriage and in the establishment of stricter rules for choosing a marriage partner. One of the oldest forms of social organization in human history is the clan or tribe, which originated from a single maternal lineage and united all people descended from a matriarchal line. Essentially, such a clan
represented a matriarchal family that connected all generations descended from the mother. One surviving example of this form is the Russian “matryoshka” doll, which symbolizes the interconnected descent of maternal generations.

A historical approach to family and marriage issues is reflected in the work “Mother Right” by the Swiss scholar J. Bachofen. In addition, the American researcher L. Morgan also expressed evolutionary views on the family in his works, particularly in the book “Ancient Society.” These works demonstrate the idea that the family institution is directly connected with social development, and that the improvement of socio-economic relations in society depends on the stability of the family. It is also emphasized that these changes historically occurred in connection with relations between representatives of different genders.

Family relations are also enshrined in the Constitution and constitute a separate chapter. “The family is the basic unit of society and is under the protection of society and the state. Marriage is based on the traditional family values of the people of Uzbekistan, the voluntary consent of those entering into marriage, and their equality of rights. The state creates social, economic, legal, and other conditions for the full development of the family.” The phrase “the family is the basic unit of society” means that the foundation of
every society is the family. Without the family, neither society nor the nation can exist stably.

Therefore, the Constitution ensures the protection of the family by the state and society, meaning that the state creates conditions for strengthening families. Legal, social, and economic support for families includes benefits for women with children, protection of women, and housing programs for young families. The voluntary nature of marriage — the fact that no one can be forced to marry, and that every man and woman enters into marriage only with their own consent — is an important sign of respect for human rights
and dignity. Society consists of relatively independent but interconnected systems, often referred to in science as subsystems.

These include economic (relations in the process of material production), social (relations between social groups, strata, and classes), political (state institutions and the activities of political parties), and spiritual (moral, religious, cultural, philosophical, and scientific systems). All of these are complex phenomena that, in turn, consist of smaller and more dynamic elements.

As one of the main elements of society, the individual participates in social life as a member of various communities. In this sense, society emerges as a “community of communities.” Society can be analyzed
from different perspectives.

For example, history as a discipline is divided into various specific histories: the history of a particular country, the history of each science, the history of discoveries, the history of regions and cities within a country, the history of socio-political movements and parties, as well as the history of each society and family. Each of these reflects the chronological sequence of events experienced by its object from its emergence to the present.

Society creates all the necessary conditions for the family through education, healthcare, employment, and social protection systems, ensuring family well-being. In turn, the family contributes to social development by raising healthy, morally mature, and patriotic children. Family and society are inseparable concepts.
They complement, strengthen, and develop each other. Harmony, kindness, and mutual respect within each family ensure peace and stability throughout society. Therefore, strengthening the family and
creating a healthy environment within it is one of the most important tasks of society.

CONCLUSION
The role and importance of the family in society are invaluable. A person’s upbringing, values, and worldview are formed first and foremost within the family. As the family is, so is society. If families are strong, caring, and spiritually rich, this positively influences social stability and development. The importance of the family in society is immense because it prepares individuals for social life. Qualities such as diligence, honesty, and patriotism are instilled in children primarily within the family. For this reason, family issues occupy a special place in state policy.
