The End

The End 👉 Beginning

Recently I defended my dissertation and received the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Philology. As a result, I see all the innovations and reforms in the field of science. The biggest reform here is that the way has been opened for every capable person to do research; that everyone has been given the opportunity to express their opinion; that people of science are being supported — I see these things, and I am in the midst of these events. The doors are open for every person who says, “I will do science, I will make discoveries, I will shine as a star in the sky of science.” People with knowledge are becoming esteemed. Those whose knowledge is half-baked, of course, may be going around complaining. The head of state does not stay silent even when he sees a small injustice in the country. He does not consent to even a speck of oppression. No appeal is left hanging in the air. Every case is being studied and analyzed according to documents and evidence; the President is struggling, by the best methods and ways, to make the country powerful, to satisfy the people, and to bring out the potential of the nation so that we find our place in the whole world. Another aspect I have noticed while following the President's work is that this man does not hurry, does not act in anger when punishing, and gives fatherly mentorship to every child of our people: “Explain, teach, let them get on the right path, let them not go astray!” that is, not hang, cut down, imprison, but find the way to their heart, win their consent, resolve it with kindness. From 2016 until today — over 10 years — another generation has been entering adult life. Ten-year-old children have turned twenty. Today we do not see fear and horror in them. We see a free spirit in them. I think the chess masters Javokhir Sindarov and Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Abdukodir Khusanov, who plays football in England, and our footballers who have made their way to the world championship are also the fruit of this freedom. We see this freedom on every front; only using it with reason and prudence is a personal matter. The world stage is not calm. The tragedy of the Middle East and the conflicts between great powers are clearly visible to everyone. But Shavkat Mirziyoyev, with his wise, courageous and sagacious views and approaches, is struggling to preserve Uzbekistan's standing and even to raise it higher. Most importantly, as the world is being drawn into the whirlpool of wars, keeping the country and the people out of these unjust and useless wars and preserving peace and well-being shows itself as a greater victory than a victory won by entering a war. For war sheds blood, burns homes, opens the door to oppression, and destroys the peace of knowledge and wisdom, of worship and devotion.. A free spirit has returned to Uzbekistan. Our people had stopped being able even to dream that such days would one day come. But today all of it is becoming reality. The increase of a blessing, it turns out, comes through gratitude. To preserve these blessings and good things, every person must give thanks sincerely. That is, praying for those who are the cause of the good; fulfilling one's duty wholeheartedly; striving to increase one's knowledge and enlightenment; being just and fair and doing good to people; not paying attention to useless talk, gossip and slander — these are among the manifestations of gratitude. It is especially fitting for people of learning and intellectuals to make our people understand the truths in this regard with words, with beautiful speeches and addresses, with clear and real-life examples, and to spread enlightenment. This counts as a great service on the path of protecting progress, peace and tranquility.
