Fatherland

Fatherland has, you have

In addition your father.

WE EXIST IN LIFE

Let the blood in our bodies be green,

Let this space turn green.

If I merge into the roots,

No bird can be without a place.

If I become the eyes of the springs,

I would flow clear and healing.

I would take the pain of the sick,

I would bring joy to the heart.

Then I would grow as a plant,

Evil would not spill ink.

Good feelings would surround the world,

Knowing, it would not sin.

If I become the most precious ore,

I would pour out for them to pick up.

The one who eliminates the feeling of hunger,

I would awaken the feeling of gratitude by melting.

If I fly like a bird with wings,

I would lead towards dreams.

Striving is the foundation of faith,

I would throw away sorrow in my flight.

The sea would be full of waves,

If I become a snowy mountain.

I would roll all the noises,

If I become a river in the streams.

If I become a word, I would ring,

The song of peace, every breath.

The world would be wide without wars,

The desire born to want happiness.

Everyone has feelings, embodied,

We exist in the name of human.

If everyone follows goodness,

We are pure beings like springs.

Let the blood in our bodies be green,

Let this space turn green.

Poetry from Ilhomova Mohichehra

Young Central Asian woman with long dark hair, brown eyes, and a black ruffled top holding a red rose encased in plastic. She's inside by a wooden door.

The light of my eyes.

When an insect gets in my eye,

I said I will lift the world on my head.

Ojiza, the blind man now,

I felt how you live.

I don’t care for anyone like this,

I can’t see anything anymore.

Such difficult days at the beginning,

I won’t open my mouth to let him go.

Oh my God, because I have the light of my eyes,

I will thank you.

For keeping me healthy

I will say thank you a thousand times.

Ilhomova Mohichehra, 8th grade student of school No. 9, Zarafshan city, Navoi region.

CREATURE IS A PAIN

What is creativity, the truth I have come to understand is creativity.  I did not feel pain when I took a pen in my hand and wrote without understanding.  Maybe someone can say “He eats his parents’ money, what he earns, he plays, laughs and runs” But the trials of life make a person grow up early.  I have faced various obstacles in previous competitions.  My days of depression are over.  My days of crying are over.  Seeing my suffering, my parents cheered me up.  But I have this opinion: God says, “Work from you, blessing from me.” Our people say, “Go for what you desire.” If I try with all my heart, I will achieve everything. 

      If there is no defeat, there is no development, rise, aspiration.  I thank defeat.  Defeat called me to fight, as they say, “The fallen cannot fight.”   Because my motto is: “One who knows how to recognize a winner must also know how to recognize a defeat.” Well, it won’t hurt me to participate in contests. Because I’m either a result-oriented student or an experienced one.  Because when I lose, I become motivated and strive more and more. 

      Creativity is a difficult path.  However, it calls a person to perfection.   A person takes away the pain in his heart and mind and reveals his secret to others.

      I won the 1st place in the province by memorizing about 200 gazals and 80 examples of classic literature in the competition “One hundred gazals – 100 jewels”. The gazals of Alisher Navoi, the Sultan of the Ghazal Estate, and the Shah and poet Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur easily opened the way for me to enter literature and creativity.  On the one hand, he encouraged me to follow in the footsteps of our grandfathers. Now I am creating a poem by memorizing the verses of our grandfathers. I will not stop striving for it! For my parents,  I thank God for my teachers, for the clear sky and for our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. We stand in the field of literature and creativity to justify the trust of you, the country, the people. Because, dear ones, as Abdulla Qahhor said, “Literature is stronger than atoms.”

Not all people are the same, one of them is stupid and has no sense of anything, while the other understands life with his intelligence. embodied. He was able to gain a special position with his wisdom and intelligence. But the character of the young man lives in the image of a fool in the story. It is the character, behavior, and extreme curiosity of this character that makes one surprised by the fact that he listens to everyone’s words.

In terms of the content of the story, it is reminiscent of the Monkey and the Carpenter fairy tale, the monkey, who did not know why he chose to chop wood, eventually perishes. Therefore, every step taken without a purpose makes a person a fool. Every book taken from the library is capable of making one wiser. But people should not stop because I am a fool. They say that the mind is not for sale in the market, or that the mind is not in the age, so everyone should not complain about the lack of mind, but look for it. The story is ours.
The measure of the mind is the word, the measure of words is proverb.

Reminds us that and points out that we should say each word after seven measures.

Essay from Goyibnazarov Abdulla

Central Asian man with short dark hair, brown eyes, clean shaved with a light blue collared shirt

Why do fools think they are smart?

In 1999, Justin Kruger and David Dunning invented a new effect, which they named the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. This is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a certain area overestimate their abilities. Research shows that people who are not experts in any field think that they understand and know a lot in this field. The most interesting thing is that this effect works both ways. A reverse consequence of the Dunning-Kruger effect: people who critically think their abilities are low have been observed to have higher abilities than they thought.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect – People who don’t know much about a subject don’t have the knowledge or skills to spot their mistakes or gaps in knowledge. They cannot see where they are going wrong and think they are doing well.

Conversely, people at the top of a given subject cannot perceive mastery. They don’t know that these areas of skill and knowledge are easy for them to acquire, while it is more difficult for others. According to the Dunning-Kruger effect, we accept information and advice from those who speak first and loudest before the words of a professional in their field.

To distinguish between an expert and a fool, it is necessary to pay attention to some aspects.

Signs of an expert:

1. He says that he does not know that he does not know

2. Speaks less

3. If you argue with them and they know you are ignorant, they will keep quiet

4. There will be imposter syndrome

Signs of an idiot:

1. They talk a lot

2. They speak loudly with confidence

3. When the discussion started, he attacked your personality, not the facts.

4. They mostly blame others and not themselves
