As the two exiting northern and southern hemisphere
Our emblazing heart will sleep in peace for years in grave
When we will get up again, life’s another chapter will begin.
Give me your sweet laugh
We discover the forever green atmosphere
The leaves swing in the breeze by the river
Life is a bond
The entity of two makes one.
People dream for making a place in Mars
It needs force to encounter the gravitation
We go forward leaving all the wastes behind
From one to another planet
Our blink for the same mirror
Nothing can smash the glass to look into the broken frame.

The Value of a Life
. . . the wellsprings of creative phantasy
which make life worth living.— Anthony Storr
What makes it worth the mocking
of what you cannot have,
the fog of what you cannot know,
the mortality of what you love,
the meanness of humanity?
Many say “Love”
but do not believe it.
Others say “God”;
few become saints.
Some say “Humankind,”
but they litter history with corpses.
Then someone gives it a name,
and it shines bright above you,
a lamp of enamel and gold.
Or, far away, it sings,
drawing you down a nave
toward the shadows
of the choir, the carved
panels above the sanctuary
and the tomb of your fathers.
It is a fairy tale
you tell yourself in the night
against the treacherous body,
a broken bell that coughs like a patient
warning you of questions you cannot answer,
against the night flies dancing in the beam
of a weak flashlight
as you walk, from darkness
through darkness toward darkness,
toward a point of light small as a star in the black woods.

Abstract:
This article talks about the selfless Jadids who fought for the people, showed that science is an important factor, and raised the flag of the homeland to the skies. Who are the Jadids themselves? What did they do? Why are they called Jadids? These questions are not relevant for the Uzbek people, because the people of Uzbekistan highly respect their ancestors. The bravery and heroism they did in our past are immortalized in epic books in different languages. It is not difficult to learn from their lives that the Jadids would not have survived even death for the homeland during their lives. Most Jadids died early from this life, while some faced death in the very prime of their lives. But they died early not from death, but for the foundation of the homeland. Of course, these terrible events can shake the human heart, but we must understand that they wanted us to speak their names on our tongues, not with tears, but with pride. That is why the Uzbek people keep the souls of the Jadids in their hearts forever.
It is not for nothing that we named the title of this article as the souls of the Jadids are eternal in our hearts. Today, let’s bring together the Jadids who fought and strived for our current peaceful life. True, there are so many of them that if we wanted to write about them, we would create a book, but we will cite a few.
1. Mahmudkhoj Behbudiy, one of the founders of the Jadids, was one of the representatives of his people with a number of books, articles, and poems.
2. Abdulla Avloni, one of the representatives of the Jadids, a poet, a teacher, an enlightener of the Shura period and a number of other creative figures
3. Shepherd, a national artist of Uzbekistan
These are the founders of the Jadid school. Selfless heroes who fought for the homeland
1. Jaloliddin Manguberdi
2. Amir Temur
3. Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur
Our scientific and writer ancestors
1. Alisher Navoi
2. Abu Ali ibn Sino
3. Hamza Hakimzoda Niyozi
These are just representatives of the Uzbek people, how many more of our ancestors fought for Uzbeks.
Main part:
Thousands of heroes around the world fought for their homeland, their names are sealed in books, we can only read about their heroic deeds in books because they fought for our prosperity and independence. If we write thousands of articles and books for them, we must show them again and again for the younger generation that they are still with us, and this is necessary, regardless of what nationality we are from.
Conclusion:
We, the youth of Uzbekistan, will never tire of showing the world the bravery of our Jadids, and this is our duty. This article was written about the Jadids of Uzbekistan. Let us be grateful to them for the peace and prosperity of our homeland, which the Jadids have done for us. The souls of the Jadids are eternal in our hearts
In today’s career-focused world, people have different views as to whether paying salary to workers depending on their productivity is a better approach to motivate them to work harder, particularly in professionally advanced communities. While there is a wide range of alternatives for encouraging employees to work harder, I firmly assert that paying salary based on their production and sales plays a crucial role for both employees and organizations.
First and foremost, there are obvious alternatives for motivating workers to work better. Once companies enforce free holiday opportunities for those who work efficiently, this makes a big difference in terms of a greater feeling of agreement and contentment, leading to a productive working process. So, workers are highly likely to be motivated easily. Furthermore, building a collective responsibility among colleagues in companies can be another method for encouragement. To be more precise, if workers learn how to collaborate, it seems unsurprising for them to experience a sense of leadership while simultaneously trying to show off their capability to their boss, thus resulting in a greater number of sales or production.
Meanwhile, despite these arguments, proponents of paying salary to employees based on their productivity cite compelling reasons to support their stance. To clarify further, productivity has been prevalently acknowledged for its effectiveness—a feature that sets it apart from other job sectors that pay all workers equally. As a result, it seems logical for companies to impose a certain amount of salary based on how much an employee produces, thereby motivating them to work harder. The more they produce or sell, the more income they earn. A good case in point can be my country, Uzbekistan, where a new initiative has been set up so that even part-time workers earn more due to their high amount of production or sales than full-time ones.
To sum up, although other initiatives such as cooperation among colleagues and free holiday chances offer some benefits, I strongly believe that only by paying workers based on their production or sales can we ensure that they take responsibility for working effectively.
