I first met Javokhir back when we were teenagers. He lived in the same neighbourhood as my school, and we
used to hang out with a group of mutual friends after classes. Even back then, he stood out as someone who was
always on the go and full of ideas. While most of us were content with playing computer games or just chatting,
he would always suggest new activities or come up with creative plans to make our time together more exciting.
His easy-going nature and ability to connect with everyone made him a natural leader in the group.
The reason I consider him so energetic is not just because of his physical activity but also his personality.
Psychologically speaking, I think he embodies the traits of a true extrovert. For example, even now, when we try
to organise friendly gatherings, he is always the one who takes the initiative. Whether it is booking a venue,
setting a date that works for everyone, or even picking up people along the way, he ensures everything runs
smoothly. I remember one time we were planning a barbecue, and while the rest of us were procrastinating,
Javokhir had already arranged the location, brought all the supplies, and even prepared the playlist for the
evening. His proactive nature keeps the group dynamic alive and thriving.
As for how I feel about him, I am genuinely grateful to have such a friend. His energy is contagious, and he
motivates me to step out of my comfort zone and be more sociable. I am naturally more introverted, so having
someone like Javokhir in my life is like having the perfect balance. Our friendship works so well because, while
he is the extroverted organiser, I am more reflective and grounded, which complements his dynamic personality.
To this day, he inspires me to see the positive side of being outgoing and to appreciate the importance of
connecting with others.

1) What kind of jobs need physical
activity?
2) Can physical workers have higher
salaries in the future?
3) Do you think machines could
replace manual labour in the future?
Despite the incredible advancements
we’ve made in technology, there are still
many jobs that require physical activity.
One of the most prominent examples
would be roles in the construction
industry. While modern machinery has
taken over a lot of tasks, there are still
aspects of construction, such as
bricklaying, operating heavy tools, or
even site inspections, that require human
intervention. Similarly, roles in
agriculture, such as harvesting crops or
maintaining equipment, often demand a
fair amount of physical effort, especially
in areas where automation hasn’t fully
penetrated. Even professions like
personal training or firefighting
inherently involve physical activity as a
core part of the job.
I personally do not think so. The main
reason is that technology is advancing at
such an incredible pace that physical
labour is becoming increasingly
automated. Machines are more efficient
and cost-effective for most physical
tasks, which reduces the demand for
human labour in these fields. As
industries invest more in robotics and
artificial intelligence, the value placed
on manual work is likely to decline even
further. Exceptions might exist in highly
specialised or dangerous roles, but
overall, I believe mental work and jobs
requiring creativity or advanced skills
will continue to dominate high-paying
industries.
Yes, I absolutely believe that machines
will eventually replace most manual
labour. Technological innovation has
already brought us robots capable of
performing highly precise tasks, such as
assembling cars or even conducting
surgeries. In the foreseeable future, tasks
that currently seem impossible to
automate, such as painting or intricate
craftsmanship, could also be performed
by advanced robotic systems. That being
said, there may still be a few areas where
human labour remains indispensable,
perhaps for roles requiring emotional
intelligence or a personal touch.

4) What's the difference between
payment for physical work and
payment for mental work?
In general, mental work tends to be
rewarded with higher salaries. This is
because mental jobs often require a
combination of creativity, specialised
knowledge, and decision-making skills,
all of which are challenging to replicate.
For example, a software engineer or a
doctor can command significantly higher
salaries than a labourer because their
expertise cannot be easily replaced by
machines or untrained individuals.
While physical work can also be
demanding and highly skilled, the value
placed on intellectual contributions in
modern economies means that mental
work is typically more lucrative.
5) How can a person’s energy affect
others?
A person’s energy can have a profound
impact on those around them. For
example, in my own experience as a
teacher at a test preparation centre, I
have noticed that the energy levels of my
students can dramatically influence the
overall atmosphere of the class. When I
have hyperactive or highly enthusiastic
students, their excitement often spreads
to others, making the class more lively
and engaging. However, this requires
careful balance, meaning a teacher’s
discipline is essential to channel that
energy productively. Without structure,
excessive energy could potentially
disrupt the learning environment.
