Poetry from Praise Danjuma

THE MYSTERIOUS BIRD 

A rare bird 
that you hardly see in the day 
but in the night, creepy. 
what a bird on earth 
perches on trees and poles 
scares you with its voice as 
fear and sorrow travel into your heart 
a bird with a circle-shaped eye, creepy
and her ears hear ten times more than humans
what a creature nature so endowed.

By Praise Danjuma 

Poetry from Ana Bogosavljevic

Light skinned middle aged woman with straight brown hair and a smile in front of a mental fence, grass, trees, and a stone wall.
Tears

In this theatre we call humanity
echoes a thunderous cry of shattered children’s hearts
the enemy roars shamelessly,
they scatter Palestina, but they can never kill God.

Shame on all cruel souls,
mourn your frozen laughter
heaven will carry the burden of clouds
illuminating the darkness, that griveous rafter.

Disguises conceal the countenance of the beast
while the everlasting grace whispers softly,
innocent smiles are stolen, I can hear the scream.
Patience endures long but conquers mercilessly.

Arrogant haughtiness, forsake all hope,
your pomp is fleeting as dry leaves,
eternity descends down the slope,
tears will sing where angels gleam. 

Ana Petrovic was born on 05.02.1985 in Serbia, where she still lives. She wrote a book of poems that is not published yet, but finished medical school with a VI degree. Many of her songs are published in magazines and on portals. Some of them are translated into English. She has been working on special programs with kids who have  paralysis cerebralis. She likes working with kids as much as she likes poetry.

Poetry from Mesfakus Salahin

Come in My Heart

Come here, in my heart
Here is your paradise.
Hear the sound of love;
The music of dream. 
That adorn the way to heart
To say 'welcome' to you.

Come here, in my heart
See the sea of passion ;
The ferry of emotion ;
The boat of togetherness. 
We are together 
Forever and forever.

Come here, in my heart
We are the legs of the world
Every moment we cross ourselves 
But every moment we are the same
Love is the head of the world
That combines  two hearts
And nake a river of eternity. 

Poetry from Nigar Nurulla Khalilova

Light skinned Central Asian woman with short blond hair and a tight blue top under a black sweater, seated at a brown wood table.
Letter to the mother

Mom, don’t wait for me,
Crying nightly, daily.
It rains here in the fields,
Screaming heart-rending.
Mom, don’t injure my soul
With eyes swollen from insomnia.
Sunrise each morning, I saw,
Bloody light sobbing.
How I would like to kiss,
Dry your bitter tears.
How can I live in peace,
If you yourself not despair?!
At the scope of the eagles, there,
In the farewell procession mountains.
Take off the black cover,
Straighten your shoulders, smile!
Look at that height right under sky,
Flag pulling hands to you.
I am your son, I am alive,
Leaving homeland to you.

Seven secrets of effective learning

   In order to be successful and competitive, one must always work on oneself and educate oneself. In this process, effective methods developed for the successful assimilation of knowledge will help. What is the secret of effective knowledge acquisition?

  Secret 1 – what is the secret of effectively using the first 20 minutes of studying very difficult material, not overstraining the brain and ensuring mastery of the type of training in the next minutes?

   A person can only concentrate at a high level during the first 20 minutes.

   After half an hour, as a result of the division of attention, the reception of information slows down to 60%, after 45 minutes to 40%. Therefore, knowledge with a high level of complexity becomes more and more difficult to understand after an hour.

  Secret 2 – daily victory in class …

 Make it a habit to evaluate your progress in class and after class. Such an approach will help you eliminate negative aspects of the learning process, increase learning motivation and independence.

   Identify your shortcomings and try to overcome them. Do this exercise regularly. Then you start to control yourself and make mistakes less.

   Secret 3 – connecting theory with practice.

    Theoretical knowledge is strengthened and improved by practice.

    Sometimes some words are familiar to us, but we don’t understand what they are talking about.

   We cannot determine the meaning of the word. Are you familiar with this problem? What does our brain do with the information we don’t use?

   That’s right, it puts it in a ‘remote archive’ so as not to waste energy.

   The third secret to successful learning is to gain knowledge and skills through direct experience. This is exactly what it means to be ‘shy and lazy’, which means that the most important thing is to consciously apply the theoretical knowledge we have learned.

  Secret 4 – imagination.

   It’s no secret that imagination gives great opportunities to perceive information. However, it has one major drawback – it cannot store the received data for a long time. The brain’s attention filtration filters out unnecessary information to save brain energy.

   American psychologist George Miller developed a theory called “Miller’s wallet” and later it became known as “7+_2”. The summary of the rule is that a person’s short-term memory cannot remember more than 9 objects.

Miller’s wallet

   The short-term memory or a kind of “wallet” in the human brain can hold no more than “money” of “seven coins” of different values ​​at the same time.

   If they are more than seven or nine, the brain intuitively divides them into groups of 5 to 9. There is an inextricable connection between the efficiency of our work and the number 7.

    Making a piano according to the 7+_2 rule helps to save time, solve various problems, and especially manage processes more effectively.

   Miller’s experiments show that a person’s short-term memory, on average, remembers nine two-digit numbers, eight multi-digit numbers, seven letters of the alphabet, and five one-syllable words.

    Secret 5 – to remember information for a long time

      If you need to remember for a very long time:

the first repetition after the initial reading;

the second repetition 20-30 minutes after the first repetition;

the third repetition 1 day after the second;

the fourth repetition 2-3 weeks after the third;

the fifth repetition should be done 2-3 months after the fourth repetition.

   Thus, the effective repetition method allows you to store four times more new information in memory than the traditional method.

Introduction
Ibn  Arabshah, who  saw  Sahibqiran with  his own eyes, gave the following description  of  Temur’s  appearance and  features: "He  was a  tall  man, with  a  broad forehead, large  head, and  a meek  nature. His  face  was  red and  white, although  he  walked  a lot in the  open  air, he  was not  tanned  in  the  sun  neat   broad  shoulder’s  long  and thin  fingers,  long  legs  were  of  good    stature.

Do  not  be  afraid    of  death, even  of  your  life   even  at  the  end  (at  the a ge  of  69)  he  was  reminiscent  of  a  mighty  rock  with  a  clear  memory, courage    and  meek  nature. Although  he  was  limping  his  eyes  were  like  a  burning  candle, Temur  who  could  see  the  essence  of  the  matter   at  a  glance, was  observant  and  had  drunk  the  art  of   discussion  never  indulged  in  fantasy, and  if  his  dreams   did  not come  true,  he  did  it.  He hid it, he  would  not  sit  down and  change  his  plan He  could  tell  the   difference  between a  true  word  and  a fictitious   one  when  he  heard  it  and  he  also  made  a  sincere  adviser  a  hypocrite  with  his  arrogance, he  could  tell  the   difference   from  a fraudster  at  a  glance.”

The  great  statesman    and  poet  Zahiriddin   Muhammad  Babur,  Mironshah  Mirza’s  inability   to  distinguish    between friends  and  enemies, and  his tendency  to indulgence  prevented  him  from  managing  the  territory  entrusted   to  him  with  justice.

Poetry from Jessica Barnabas Joseph

A JOURNEY TO THE UNKNOWN

Life is a ball which rolls different faces. 
She gives you a part as a present, 
You have a beginning and in this mystery 
Lies also an end 
Life is a journey
You are a journey, too.
