Poetry from Eva Petropoulou Lianou

Peace 

So expensive

We buy so many weapons

To maintain it

If we pray more

If we were kind to each other

We could say

We have Peace of mind

Poetic heart

Call for meditation

Inside our heart

Peace,

We say a lot

We make nothing

Peace,

Such as a woman

We adore

But few can get

Peace,

A value with no cost

If the humans understand the word…

I wish one day….

Poetry by Jamal Garougar

Older middle aged man with gray hair and a mustache and a dark blue sweater outside in a garden with blooming plants behind him.
 Nourina ⭐

By Jamal Garougar 🇲🇦

Since time immemorial,
the heart has been digging a well inside me
to listen to its own water…
No one knows
that peace begins with a single drop
negotiating with its stone
before leaping toward the light.

I walk,
and nameless birds hang from my shoulders,
gathering what falls from my thoughts
as if collecting seeds
waiting for the season of departure.

I watch the trees
hide faces in their bark—
one resembles my childhood,
another the world’s trembling fear,
and a third
I do not know,
yet it reassures me
as it watches
from the shimmer of night between the branches.

I move forward,
and the things around me shift
as if the universe
were readjusting its geometry
to the rhythm of my heart…
Stones listen,
the air takes notes,
grass spells out
my footsteps
like a child learning the alphabet
for the very first time.

I love…
not a single face,
but the space
between faces,
the luminous space
shaped by the quiet passage
of the heart.

I love how water
negotiates with the earth,
and how the earth
learns from the water’s flow
the tenderness of surrender.

I also love
that everything in the universe
is suspended by a delicate thread
held by the Creator
from an unseen place—
and yet
this thread breaks
only when we close our hearts.

I stop,
and memory escapes through a window,
from which a woman appears
whom I do not know,
yet I recognize
the way she calms the wind
as it brushes past her…
and I understand that love
is not a person,
but a ritual
that souls learn
only when they set themselves aside.

I grow silent,
and meaning flows
from unknown places,
as if language
had borrowed the voice of clouds
and left me
fallen in wonder.

And when night descends,
I feel my heart
closing its doors
and opening its single window
toward a sky
that breathes within me…
a sky
where every star
knew my name
before I was born,
and knew that I came
to plant
a small garden
where the world may rest
for just a moment.

Thus,
I become a sentence
in a book vaster than Earth,
and my life
becomes a code written
on a faint light,
read by angels
searching for a new reason
why humans
should not grow weary
of carrying this planet.

And here, within every heartbeat,
the heart continues to whisper…
Nourina is not the end of the poem—
but the beginning of everything.

Achieving Success in Professional Communication – A Core Competency of the Modern Individual

Today’s globalized world demands not only rapid technological development but also clear, effective, and meaningful communication between people. No matter the profession — whether a teacher, doctor, entrepreneur, or an aspiring specialist — one cannot reach their full potential without mastering professional communication. In many cases, success begins not with knowledge itself, but with the ability to express that knowledge correctly.

Communication – A Reflection of Professionalism

How a specialist speaks, their tone, and the clarity with which they present their thoughts all define their level of professionalism. Very often, a successful negotiation, a solved problem, or gained trust is the direct result of skillful communication. Modern work culture requires every employee not only to perform their tasks but also to cooperate effectively within a team and build constructive dialogue with clients.

Key Principles of Professional Communication

1. Clarity and Conciseness

Unnecessary expressions and deviations from the topic prolong conversations and weaken the outcome. The best speech is purposeful, brief, and meaningful.

2. The Culture of Listening

Many rush to express their own views, yet true success lies in the ability to listen. Hearing the other person fully and demonstrating understanding builds strong trust.

3. Ethics and Respect

Tone of voice, body language, and forms of address are important in professional interactions. Communication built on respect eases even the toughest situations.

4. Conflict Management

A professional does not escalate tension when problems arise. Instead, they analyze the situation and guide the discussion toward constructive solutions.

5. Adhering to Digital Communication Etiquette

Emails, messaging apps, and online meetings have become an inseparable part of work life. Writing professional emails, giving clear responses, and following online etiquette are all signs of true professionalism.

Why Is Professional Communication So Important Today?

Because in a rapidly changing labor market, the main factor that distinguishes individuals is how they present themselves. Strong communication skills:

provide a competitive advantage during job applications,

strengthen respect within teams,

enhance leadership potential,

help in making correct decisions during complex situations.

Conclusion

Professional communication is not just “speaking beautifully” — it is the foundation of every decision, partnership, and achievement. A person who can express their thoughts clearly, listen respectfully, and engage in cultured dialogue will succeed not only at work but in all aspects of life.

Improving communication skills is an important investment in ourselves, for those who know how to work with people are never deprived of opportunities.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOOSING THE RIGHT CAREER

Abstract
This article discusses the importance of choosing the right career in human life. It focuses on the social, psychological, and personal factors that influence career choice and highlights why this decision is crucial for young people. The article emphasizes the significance of aligning one’s interests and abilities to find a meaningful path, analyzes the consequences of poor career decisions, and explores how the right career choice leads to success and personal fulfillment. In the modern world, career choice has become one of the most decisive factors not only for individual happiness but also for
social and economic development.


Keywords
Career, choice, ability, goal, interest, success, motivation, decision-making, future, artificial intelligence, responsibility, life path, self-development, society, opportunity, independent thinking.


Introduction
One of the most important decisions in a person’s life is choosing a career. Every individual defines their future, social standing, and success through their professional path. Therefore, the right career choice plays a crucial role not only in one’s personal life but also in the development of society as a whole. Today, with the rapid
advancement of technology, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence, the global labor market is changing dramatically. New professions are emerging, while many traditional ones are gradually disappearing. In this context, it is vital for young people to
choose careers that align with both modern demands and their own interests.

Thus, making the right career choice means consciously building one’s future, realizing personal potential, and taking responsibility for one’s own life. A career is not only a means of earning a living but also a way of self-discovery, achieving dreams, and contributing to social progress.


Main Body
Research shows that the number of people dissatisfied with their professions or working in fields that do not match their abilities is increasing worldwide. Statistical data indicates that about 66% of workers have career regrets — mostly due to poor career
choices, lack of motivation, and job dissatisfaction — which often lead to stress, burnout, and decreased productivity. Many people make incorrect career decisions early in life and end up working in areas that do not bring them fulfillment. Therefore, proper career selection has become not only a personal necessity but also a social priority.

Studies also suggest that individuals who choose careers aligned with their interests and strengths are 70% more satisfied with their jobs and demonstrate up to 1.5 times higher productivity. This shows that self-awareness is the key factor in successful career
planning. A person must understand their talents, passions, and values to evaluate which professional path best fits them. For instance, creative individuals often thrive in art, design, or media fields, while analytical thinkers may excel in technology or scientific
research.


Labor market demand also plays a critical role. According to the Future of Jobs Report 2025, the most in-demand professions in the coming years will include artificial intelligence and data analysis experts, software developers, environmental specialists, cybersecurity professionals, and healthcare workers. Meanwhile, automation is leading to the gradual decline of roles such as cashiers, clerical staff, and data entry operators. This transformation highlights the necessity for individuals to adapt, reskill, and continuously develop new competencies to remain competitive.

Gender-based differences also remain a major issue in the global job market. Current data reveals that 72% of men participate in the workforce, compared to only 47% of women. This gap underscores the need to ensure equal opportunities and promote women’s education and professional development. Research shows that when women’s participation in the workforce increases, a country’s GDP and overall economic growth also rise significantly.


To choose the right career, individuals should follow several essential steps. First, self- assessment is necessary to identify personal strengths, values, and areas of interest. Second, one should research current and future labor market trends to understand which
professions offer stability and growth. Gaining practical experience through internships, volunteer work, and mentorship programs is also vital to test one’s abilities in real-world settings. Moreover, consulting career counselors and taking personality or career aptitude tests (such as Holland’s or MBTI) can help make informed decisions.


In today’s world, success depends on continuous learning, flexibility, and adaptability. As new technologies reshape industries, traditional professions are disappearing while new ones emerge. Therefore, individuals must choose careers not only for today but also for the future. When personal interests, social needs, and market demands intersect, a person achieves both material success and emotional fulfillment.


Conclusion
In conclusion, choosing the right career is one of the most important and responsible decisions in life. A well-chosen profession leads to psychological stability, financial independence, and overall life satisfaction. Conversely, a poor career choice can result
in unemployment, stress, and dissatisfaction. Therefore, career decisions should be made thoughtfully—through self-reflection, experience, and awareness of future opportunities.


In the modern world, the greatest wealth is adaptability and lifelong learning. When individuals find their true path, they not only shape their own destiny but also contribute to the prosperity and progress of society.

Poetry from Kemal Berk

Older South Asian man with gray hair and a gray collared shirt and dark coat.

My longing for you

My longing for you I miss you
My mind is on you, my heart is on you, my love
I long for a smiling face at dawn
I see you every day in my dreams
My eyes are on you, my heart is on you, my longing is on you
Shining like a mirror in the darkness.

Playing with pleasure around the fire
Wrapping around my neck like ivy.

I miss your beautiful eyes, which I call my love.

Flowing like a river from above
As each refreshing drop falls into my heart
As each phrase caresses my heart
I miss your tongue dripping with honey.

Every day I watch you from afar
I become a bee and wander from flower to flower.
I wait for your rose scent in the wind
I miss the rose that blooms on your cheeks.

KEMAL BERK Biography: I was born in 1955 in the Sungurlu district of Çorum province, Turkey. I attended primary, secondary, and high school in Sungurlu. I completed my university education at Ankara Gazi Education Institute. I began teaching in 1978 and retired in 2016. I am married with three children and four grandchildren. In addition to my professional life, I continued teaching Turkish folk dances, which began during my student years, and taught them to hundreds of students. We participated in festivals, opening ceremonies, and competitions, and won awards. I took special art courses, learning 3D painting techniques, and creating paintings. I took a course for the hearing impaired, learning how to communicate with people with hearing impairments. For two years, I attended special gastronomy courses and learned to prepare various meat dishes, vegetable dishes, desserts, pastries, and buns. Preparing and serving these dishes gives me peace of mind. I volunteer at AFAD, which provides aid in disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and landslides.

INTRODUCTION
In the current era of globalization, the internet has become an integral part of youth life. This has lead to the emergence and widespread use of new linguistics units known as slang. Internet slang is characterized by brevity, expressiveness and
creativity. Language change is a natural process that reflects generational differences.


ASOSIY QISM
Yoshlar tili – bu muayyan ijtimoiy guruh vakillari tomonidan ishlatiladigan, o’ziga xos leksik, fonetik va grammatik xususiyatlarga ega nutq shaklidir. Internetning rivojlanishi yoshlar tili uchun yangi imkoniyatlar yaratdi.”Telegram “,” Instagram “, “TikTok “ kabi platformalarda yangi so’z va iboralar paydo bo’lib, tez tarqalmoqda.
Masalan, “cringe “,” sus”, “based “,” cap”, “noob”, “vibe”, “mood”, “flex” kabi so’zlar o’zbek yoshlarining tilida keng qo’llanmoqda. Fakt sifatida shuni ko’rsatish mumkinki, O’zbekiston yoshlari orasida olib borilgan so’rovnomalar 70%dan ortiq ishtirokchilar har kuni sleng so’zlardan foydalanishini bildirgan. Bu esa internet tili yoshlar orasida
ommaviy axborot quroliga aylanganini ko’rsatadi. Shuningdek, ingliz tilidan kirib kelayotgan neologizmlar morfologik moslashuv orqali o’zbek tiliga singmoqda.


MAIN PART
Youth language is a speech form used by specific social groups with distinct lexical, phonetic, and grammatical characteristics. The development of the internet has opened new opportunities for youth communication. Platforms such as Telegram, Instagram and TikTok generate and spread new words rapidly. For example, words
like “cringe”, “sus”, “based”, “cap”, “noob”, “vibe”, and “flex”, have entered the daily speech of Uzbek youth. Research shows that over 70%of Uzbek youth use slang words daily. This indicates that the internet language has become a dominant means of youth
communication. Furthermore, English neologisms are being morphologically adapted into the Uzbek language, showing linguistic flexibility and integration.

Internet va texnologiya taraqqiyoti natijasida yoshlar tili doimiy ravishda o’zgarib bormoqda. Bu o’zgarishlar ijobiy jihatdan tilni boyitsa, salbiy tomondan adabiy me’yorlardan chetlanishga sabab bo’lmoqda. Linguistlar uchun asosiy vazifa – bu
jarayonni ilmiy jihatdan kuzatish va yangi birliklarning tizimliligi hamda madaniy ta’sirini o’rganishdir.


CONCLUSION
As a result of technological progress, youth language continues to evolve. These changes enrich the language but may also lead to deviation from literary norms. For linguists, the main task is to observe this process scientifically and analyze the systematic and cultural impact of new linguistic units.

The Magical Camomile

In a place where the sun rose beautifully, a little camomile flower lived. But this camomile was not ordinary. It was magical. If someone made a wish with a true and kind heart, the camomile could make it come true.

Very few people knew this secret.One day, a little girl came near the camomile. She wanted to pick it and place it in her hair, but something made her stop. She felt the flower might be sad if she did that. So she sat down beside it, gently touched its soft petals, and said, It would be wonderful if there were some food right now.

Suddenly, food appeared in front of her. At first, she looked around, thinking someone was watching her, but there was no one. She smiled and began to eat. Then she said, Would you like to taste some? The camomile replied, No, I dont need any. I will be happy if you are happy.The girl understood she had found real magic.

From that day on, the camomile stayed with her and helped her whenever she made a heartfelt wish.
