Task 2. Reading
Read the text and define highlighted words.
Are you enough motivated?
1. Human beings are the only conscious creatures, that is to say we can think, ponder, realize, and comprehend all events, situations occurring around us. People can mentally find out solutions to some problems, answers to probable mysteries of the nature referring to science as well. All of us study when we start to comprehend things consciously; neither animals nor plants are capable of thinking. Human beings have always been tending to new innovations, discoveries, theories. But have you ever thought why?
There can be the only answer to this question: because of inspiration and motivation existence which never let us stop or postpone, give up or delay ideas or goals we have already set.
2. Motivation and inspiration are not new terms for humanity. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Arabs, Indians have always referred to them as basic development factors of social, industrial, scientific progress. Great scientists, philosophers,
writers, psychologists, orators have also claimed that motivation and inspiration are the main pushers of their minds, whatever they have created or done are
fruits of them.
3. The greatest personalities of our motherland Uzbekistan also focused on wish, aim, goals, motivation and inspiration for creating something modern or
extraordinary. Could Mirzo Ulugbek create a map of stars without motivation? Could Avicenna write his famous medicine books without having inspiration
or motivation? Of course, no, the great grandfathers of us got new ideas, thoughts, and inspirations from watching daily life of common people, from just a
great view of architectural masterpieces. In short words, greatness of our ancestors should awaken our inner strength and power; the youth must be inspired by deeds of prominent Uzbek personalities, it should motivate the youth to get into deep scientific research works, to have theoretical and practical approach to
science, to create something modern, innovative in any sphere, technology, agriculture, medicine, economics, politics, education, engineering, philosophy etc. If there is motivation and inspiration in you it is easy to achieve anything you want. Remember that “you have no idea what you are capable of until you try”.
