"Do what you can with what you have"
said one wise man
You will never get:
- perfect conditions to study/work,
- perfect understanding family members
- perfect teacher/classmate to study with
- perfect time to study
- perfect partner to live with
- perfect car to drive
- perfect government in charge
and so on ..........
A wise person does what they can with what they have
Humans are designed to be imperfect by nature - perfection is for Allah

Bugun Samarkand kuni ekan
❤️
I remember how much I hated this city when I was a newcomer. But now it’s truly as DEAR as my hometown. Feeling that today might be my last “Samarkand Day” in this city, I already feel like crying
🥲

May the hardest decision you ever have to make be choosing what to read next
💖

I couldn’t fall asleep last night before finishing the book. I just had to find out how it ends. As a result, I kept reading until 04:30 a.m. - and it was absolutely worth it. The plot was
so gripping, and the ending completely took me by surprise
🫣
Thank you, my dearest student Ali, for gifting me this masterpiece

Quotes I can’t stop sharing from the book
🌅
“Most people aren’t alive — they’re sleepwalking their way through life.”
“A baby cannot hate the mother without the mother first hating the baby.”
Some lines don’t just stay in your mind — they settle in your heart.

Just living and trying to soak up every little moment
💕

Maybe I’m just under the impression of this book…

I had been living on autopilot, stuck in the same routine days. But thanks to my 36-year-old student - a woman who’s endlessly optimistic and deeply well-read - I started reading every single day, no matter what.
Reading slows me down.
Makes me pause.
Think.
I love this
new me
😇
Once again I’m reminded:
the people around us shape us more than we can ever imagine.

There was a stage in my life before marriage when I was drowning in childhood nostalgia, wishing I could rewind time - back when, as Adele sings, “life was a party to be thrown.” That phase has passed…
🕊️
Now a new feeling is taking over. The more I watch my son grow, the more I realize how much I missed. He’s getting bigger every single day… and the thought that he’ll never again be as little as he is today - it’s both beautiful and terrifying

Retook the IELTS
😊

Today, there was a moment:
I’m standing in the center of the classroom, asking questions. Students are sharing their thoughts freely. I remember most of them from when they were at Elementary level— and suddenly, pride takes over. I feel nothing but PRIDE and RELIEF. Alhamdulillah!
✨
However, the progress does slow down after B2 level. Because let’s be real — getting to the average is manageable for most people. But if you want to go beyond that, it’s not about the teacher anymore.
It’s YOU.
YOU have to do the work.
You have to push. No one’s going to carry you to C1 or C2.
Only a few make it — and that’s not by chance!
