“Fat personal trainer syndrome”

It’s like those lazy bloggers who teach you how to be disciplined and consistent.

Can be used in IELTS Speaking

I enjoyed watching this video by Dan Koe who is one of my role models.

I remember watching his videos intensively for an entire month, absorbing as much knowledge as I could.

He is one of the only people who encourages physical, mental and spiritual development at the same time.

I love his philosophy. It helped me grow.

Here I’m leaving the link, but I warn you that it may feel a bit overcomplicated or overly monotonous if you’re not familiar with his previous videos. Hope you’ll find it helpful anyway:

Live as if it's your last day. I mean, maybe it is!?

Hech kim, hech kimdan o’tib ketmayapti. Hech kim, hech kimdan qolib ketmagan.

Bu hayotda, hamma o’zini o’ziga solishtirib yashashi kerak. Chunki, tom ma’noda hammamiz yolg’izmiz. Dunyoga yolg’iz kelganmiz, o’lgandan keyin ham yolg’iz savol-javob qilinamiz.

Kechagi kundan buguningiz 0.00001% yaxshiroq bo’lsa, sizni hayotingiz bekor ketmayapti.

Odamlarni yutug’iga e’tibor bermang. Hamma har xil yo’lda erishyapti.

Kimdir rostan qattiq mehnat qilgan. Kimdir esa o’zini qiynalgan qilib ko’rsatadiyu, lekin aslida dadasini erkatoyi bo’lgani uchun, hamma narsa osonroq keladi.

Hayot qisqa. Odamlarni solishtirishga vaqtimiz yo’q. Maqsadlar ulkan. Ularga erishmaguncha, dunyoga ta’sir o’tkazadigan odam bo’lmaguncha, yoki qandaydir o’zimizdan nom qoldirmaguncha o’lib ketish, bu - umrimizni shunchaki bekorga sarflamak.

Hammasi hali oldinda. Keep going.

Sometimes I wonder when successful people say, “Do what you love.”

Is that really what they did?
Or do they just say it to keep others from reaching their level?

Honestly, I disagree.
As humans, we naturally love things that give us quick dopamine — not the things that are hard but truly transformative.

Take IELTS preparation, for example.
An edu-blogger selling courses might tell you it’s easy.
But those who’ve truly experienced the pain and struggle know — it’s never easy.

I suffer every single day.
People might laugh and say, “It’s just a certificate.”
But for me, it’s more than that — it’s shaping my discipline, my mindset, and my character.

Here’s the truth:
Anything that leads you to real success is hard.
It should be hard.

You’ll feel uncertain, confused, even lost at times.
That’s normal. Let it be.

Enjoy the process. Watch how I will succeed, InshaAllah.

I didn’t start this journey just to get a Band 9.0.
I started it to inspire my students who once made excuses about their personal lives.

Now, it’s bigger than that.
It’s inspiring thousands.

And I’m grateful for every bit of this impact.
I’ll keep moving forward — and I will never give up, InshaAllah.

Day 34 - IELTS 9.0

🕰 Sleep: 01:30
🌅 Wake-up: 6:00 —> 8:00

As I have work from 14:00 to 20:00 today, I decided to sleep a little more to stay energetic.

I hate writing Task 1

👀20-day “Reading Challenge”ni kutayotganlar bormi?

I just watched a video by Diyorbek Hayitmurodov (a.k.a. Diyorbek’s IELTS), where he shared a series of Speaking Part 1 answers on different topics.

While watching, I’ll admit — I felt a bit insecure.
His use of specific vocabulary and fluency honestly amazed me.

But then I reminded myself — it’s unfair to compare.
He’s been mastering this language for years, while I only started learning English when he had already scored 8.5 in IELTS multiple times.

Still, the video inspired me to rewatch it, take notes, and memorize some of the useful vocabulary he used.

I think you’ll find it helpful too.
We can all learn something from people who are ahead of us.
