Absurdity is a human feeling…

Emptiness is a human feeling… and it occurs when a person faces a void in front of the meaning of life.

When we don’t know what we want from our life, we feel empty, and when we think about the end and death in the middle of life after forming a family and having a wife and children, doubts take root in our souls and we ask ourselves what is the meaning of all this. And it is useful. Here, too, the sense of human emptiness is included.

People usually feel empty in two periods of life:

✅ First, in adolescence, when they understand the responsibility of their lives and beyond their childhood dreams, they are confused about what they are doing in this world and what they should do.

✅ Second, in the middle age, who have tasted the pleasures of life and understood their mortality and see the shadow of death behind half of their life.

Apart from these two, in some situations, a person is caught in the feeling of emptiness. In the death of loved ones, when a person’s relatives die in the blink of an eye; In the events and tragedies such as earthquake or war, the existence of a human being and the dreams and the meaning of life are under the control of something more powerful than the meaning, and a small person touches himself. Also in situations such as financial bankruptcy, emotional separation and divorce, unwanted migration from the country, failure in education or in emotional relationships.

In all these cases, people feel empty due to their age and attitude towards life as well as their lived experience.

One of the reasons for such a person’s sense of emptiness can be a mental illness or a disorder such as depression. Another reason could be the lack of an emotional support system in the past or present; It means that in the past, he did not receive enough emotional load from his parents or he is not loved by anyone at the moment.

Another reason can be the abuse of drugs or medicine or dependence on alcohol, which after some time and passing the period of euphoria and creating dependence leads to a feeling of emptiness in a person.

Being too involved in social networks and news sites can also be another reason for feeling empty.

Social Networks; Like Instagram and seeing daily pictures and videos of people who are apparently happy can lead to losing a sense of worth in some people.

Too much involvement in the media news, which is often negative, can also bring a person to a point where she can not imagine the meaning of life and suffer from the doubt of meaninglessness and emptiness.

Absurdity is a human emotion… In addition to the above, there are deep meanings that can give meaning to life…

Prayers to the Lord

Prayers to the Lord

Oh, the knot of closed works is opened at the tip of your finger
And the difficulty of difficulties becomes easy with you
And the one who should be asked for the escape path to liberation and comfort.

Difficulties will be softened by your power and tools will be provided by your grace.

You are the one to read in important matters and to take refuge in misfortunes.
May no harm return from us; Unless you bring back that calamity and no sorrow will be removed; Don’t you drive it from your heart.
No one can open the door that you have closed, and no one can close the door that you have opened.

No one will make the work difficult for you, and no one will help the person you humiliate.

O my Lord, by your kindness, open comfort to me and by your strength, Hardness of grief Crush me and see me as good in what I have complained about, and let me taste the sweetness of your answer in what I have asked of you, and grant me mercy and openness as you wish, and show me the way out of these troubles.

Amen, the omnipotent

Work and effort are a necessary condition for success; But it’s not enough…

Work and effort is a necessary condition for success…?!

When we pay attention to the successes of humanity, we find that humans cannot escape from the continuous benefit of science, knowledge and technology, and they need them more and more every day to succeed and achieve their lofty goals.

  • But really, how and from where do these untangling solutions to solve scientific problems come to the mind and thinking of these researchers and scientists?
    Is it only by trying and collecting scientific information that scientists can achieve these successes?
    If this is the case, why does the existing solution come to the mind of one or more specific people?
  • To answer these questions, we need to think about the following examples:
    Have you ever seen a mass flight of small insects?
    Or have you noticed the regular and diligent movement of sperms?
  • What force could really make them move with such motivation and energy?

If we look at the world around us and think a little, we will realize that a fundamental energy and intelligence governs the world and its agents.

In other words; A scientist who discovers a medicine or a vaccine, surely the consciousness of existence rushed to his help and created a bright spark in his mind.

  • So, for success and achieving the final result, there are always two necessary conditions:

۱- continuous work and effort; As a prerequisite.
۲- Connecting and asking for help from the consciousness ruling the existence; as a sufficient condition.

yes The purpose and concept of prayer is communication, companionship and synchronism with the consciousness until the light of truth illuminates the eyes of our hearts and minds.

Work and effort is a necessary condition for success

Why are we not happy like in the past (childhood and adolescence)?

Why are we not happy like in the past (childhood and adolescence)?

If we go back to our childhood, adolescence, high school or even university; We see that we were happier and experienced the most pleasant memories and pleasures in those days; In other words, our mood was better.

These days, we often hear that people are willing to give all their experiences and achievements to go back to that era.
really why??
We are passing through an age; We see that we are very lazy and excuse-making; We are no longer as happy as before and no matter how much we reach higher degrees and achievements, we are still not satisfied with it. Why?

Why are we not happy like in the past (childhood and adolescence)?

Response:
If we go back to our childhood and adolescence, we remember that every night we planned only for the next day and nothing more.
In other words, we were only concerned with how to do the work related to that day.
For example, if we were going to a party tomorrow night, we would be very happy and not think about anything else.
Or if we had an exam, all we thought about was studying to get the best score.

So, it is enough to carry out the programs of the same day today, so that we feel better; Because:

– With each positive step, we will find more energy.
Worrying about the future will not spoil today’s happiness.

Remember:
– We are not going to do something special and extraordinary during our lifetime; Only if we do our small tasks correctly and with interest every day, we will see that we will get better and better.
– Regarding the future, it is enough to write down our goals and visions (that too only once).

So, we just need to decide to do the daily tasks correctly and accurately and have a schedule for tomorrow.

With these two questions, you will feel your progress step by step from the inside:
– Was the execution of your plans correct and satisfactory today?
– What should you do tomorrow in order of priority?

Advising on field selection

 

Advising on field selection

Every year, after the announcement of the preliminary results of the dental assistant exam, a large number of test takers are faced with many questions regarding the choice of field:

  1. Should I use the quota of the armed forces?
  2. Should I use the local quota?
  3. If I have both a native quota and a warrior quota, which one should I use?
  4. What are the benefits of free quota?
  5. What is the difference between special and general commitment?
  6. I haven’t found my real interest in the fields yet!
  1. I am hesitant between two or more courses!
  2. Is the order of choosing the field important?
  3. How is the job market and contacts of each of these fields?
  4. What was the last pass rate last year in each field?
  5. After graduation, in what field can I become a faculty member?
  6. Is it better for me to pass the k coefficient as a medical staff or the academic board?
  7. How is the coefficient k different from the plan and the office score? And what is their relationship?

۱۴ . What are the conditions for using the local quota?

۱۵ . Is it more likely to be accepted with the native quota?

۱۶ . Can I remove the native quota when choosing a field?

۱۷ . Can the commitment of expertise be purchased?

۱۸ . How many years is the commitment level of native students different from normal?

۱۹ . How effective is the use of the brilliant talent quota?

۲۰ . What are the conditions for admission to Azad University?

It is hoped that by answering these questions, we will be able to pave the way for your future path. First of all, it is necessary to mention that these issues are for the purpose of clarification and more awareness, and the main criteria are the circulars and announcements of the secretary of the specialized council of dentistry.

Criteria and criteria in choosing a successful field:

The most important and first step in choosing a field is to pay attention to your interests and personality traits, nothing can replace your love and interest in that field in the future, when emotions subside and reason becomes stable. This is the thing that motivates you in the future when you are freed from all material and external problems and is the engine that drives you to continue working, researching and teaching. If you are in doubt between two or more disciplines, interest and Consider your ability in that field. After that, take into account your social and spiritual supports. For example, if you have a professor who has always cared for you; So that you can benefit from his help and guidance in the future, consider it as an influential parameter.

In arranging the sequence of courses, it is important to have a common rank with other candidates; If you do not have a common rank (the number of common marks is mentioned as one), the sequence is not very important; Because the right of priority is with the ranks ahead.

But if you have the same rank and score, the choice of your competitors’ field has a great impact on your success or failure; For example, if the candidate’s rank is 185 and the number of common grades (ranks) is mentioned as three, this means that two other people also have this grade and rank. ) which is empty, they will get priority and if its capacity is filled (field/city)

The next two people will be denied admission. Although the answer to this question, what was the rank of the last person who passed in each field, is a guide to some extent, but based on the attention and acceptance of that field, this issue may be changed; For example, last year there was a lot of interest in the field of maxillofacial surgery and the top ranks chose it as their first priority, so the last rank of the accepted person was 240; While this year, the number of people interested in this field has decreased

and there is a possibility that you can be accepted in this field with a higher rank. It should be noted that in all quotas, paying attention to the total rank is a better criterion for measuring and evaluating the situation among the candidates. One of the proper ways to make a decision is to consult with professors and experts who have at least ten years of work experience. Consultation with people who have just started working; Not only does it not help much, but it may cause you to get confused and away from your desired path.

For this purpose, you can familiarize yourself with the job market of each field; The job market of each field has a direct relationship with the individual capabilities and personality of each person, so the field alone cannot have a significant impact on success; For this reason, it is often seen that two people with common expertise have different success. .

Regarding quotas, it should be stated at the beginning that there are six types of acceptance:

  1. General quota
  2. free quota
  3. special quota
  4. The quota of warriors
  5. Quota of brilliant talent
  6. Quota of the armed forces

 

In the beginning, it is necessary to explain that each participant can use only one type of the above and it is not possible to use two types of quotas at the same time.

  1. General quota (general obligation): The most attraction is related to this group.

In this group there are people who do not have any special quota and after passing and completing the residency course, they are divided based on the score of the board and the declaration of the need of educational and medical centers. Passing the obligation of this course, which is called the k coefficient, is 2.5 times. It is the years of education and it changes according to the required provincial centers with different coefficients. During this period, a person can be present in one of the medical centers or university centers (in the form of a faculty). It should be noted that for people who have completed the general course plan after graduation (in the form of presence in deprived areas or military service), a certain amount of the k coefficient will be deducted from the duration of that obligation. But for the people who directly entered the specialization course, in the first two years, their coefficient k is also calculated for their plan. During this period, based on the service area and its score, the desired score for establishing the office in the future is also provided. .

Therefore, if a person does not have the necessary points for the office license, it is better to provide the necessary points by passing the coefficient k at the same time. It is not recommended to use free quota for this group. It should be noted that the coefficient k cannot be purchased, and in order to have no obligation (to pass the coefficient k), it is recommended to use the free quota. Obviously, people who

The academic staff are working and teaching in the Faculty of Dentistry, after the end of the course, if the faculty of the teaching place wishes, they can continue their cooperation in the form of a contract.

  1. Free Quota: People who wish to use the free quota, by paying the annual tuition fee, are exempted from passing the legal obligations of the specialization course (factor k). Of course, if these people have not passed the plan, it is necessary to spend these two years to get a permanent license. Another point is that obtaining the points necessary to establish a clinic remains on its own strength. Therefore, this type of admission that is specific to Islamic Azad University (Tehran branch, Khorasgan) and some of the fields

It is recommended to the candidates who have passed the manpower plan and have an active office or have enough privileges to establish an office, so that they can continue their work after the end of the specialization course. Due to the lack of legal obligations, these people have the possibility to become a member of the academic faculty of the university by participating in the call of the dental schools. Meanwhile, the friends who commit to pass the coefficient k for the title of assistant professor in any school after the end of the commitment period. If they are not required by the relevant faculty, they are obliged to settle the account and leave the relevant department. It should be noted that before announcing the results of Shahid University, there is a certain date for those who have obtained the maximum marks for interview.

It announces ideological-social and then subsequently announces the names of those accepted.

  1. Special quota (indigenous obligation): People who have indigenous conditions, if they use this type of quota, they must serve the university and the city they belong to, for three times the duration of the residency period. In addition to these years, the obligation of a general doctorate is also added, considering that this group is mostly recruited as academic staff (assistant professor) and in its own province.

This situation is very suitable for people who really want to stay in their city, but it can be used for volunteers who want to migrate abroad or who are interested in working and teaching in another university or city. It is not recommended. According to the urgent need of the cities, this quota helps to attract academic staff so that high-ranking candidates can also be accepted. Therefore, it is better for people with borderline scores (ranks) to use this type of quota to ensure acceptance. People who have chosen the native quota during registration can skip it if they do not need it. In any case, the indigenous quota increases the acceptance rate to a significant extent, so that its effect seems to be greater than the use of the soldiers’ quota. It should be noted that in the local selection, dentists can only choose fields that their province has declared the need for, and they are denied admission to other fields.

  1. Warriors Quota: Candidates who have the conditions to use the warriors quota, if they have 80% of the score/field of the last person who passed normally, they can be considered as a capacity, for example, a person who is ranked 2nd in the quota and overall He has the rank of 158. He must have obtained 80% of the final grade of Orthodontics of Tehran University in order to be accepted, and the rank of 2 is not the only criterion. The people who use the fighters’ quota, although they are exempted from the manpower plan, but like all other groups, they are obliged to pass the k coefficient. It may be different.
  2. Quota for brilliant students: Students who are eligible for the bright talent quota can use this quota only once in the last semester of their studies, provided that they graduate by September 31 of the same year (before starting the residency program) or after graduation. There are two issues in this group:
  3. Permission to participate in the exam
  4. Use of elite student points

In order to be allowed to participate in the exam before completing 2 years of planning or 2 years of clinical work experience, the following conditions must be met:

۱ . National exam rank below 500

  1. Having a total GPA above 16

But in the second case, those who are eligible to use educational, research and welfare facilities for brilliant talents, if the university announces excess capacity, they must obtain 90% of the score of the last person accepted in that field, plus the confirmation of brilliant talent (according to the regulations). and get a certificate from the university where they study, they must have at least 40 points (according to the attached table). After the examination, the documents will be approved and used in the Talent Commission of the Secretariat of the Specialized Council of Dentistry. With a brief look at the table of required points, you can see that it is very difficult to get it and it will be more fruitful to use the time to study and test.

  1. Quota of the armed forces: Dentists working in the armed forces can use the 10% surplus quota. Of course, it should be noted that these people can only choose the fields that the armed forces have declared the need for, and these people are denied admission to other fields. After graduation, this group will spend their time in therapy or in the scientific faculty of the armed forces.

Special rules and regulations:

  1. After the announcement of the results and acceptance in a specific field, transfer to the assistantship course if the source and destination universities agree, on the condition of obtaining the score of the last person accepted in the relevant quota and the approval of the special cases commission, after one full year of study, on the condition of passing all courses. It is related to the first year without hindrance.
  2. It is forbidden to change majors after declaring acceptance in any of the majors.
  3. If a person withdraws after announcing her acceptance, she will not be allowed to register and participate in the exam for 2 years.
  4. Any movement during the residency period is prohibited.
  5. In order to be a guest in the desired university, the consent of the university of origin and destination is required and it can be done after completing the first year. In this way, first the person will be a guest for the first 6 months and the second 6 months will be possible with the approval of the Special Cases Commission of the Secretary of the Specialized Council of Dentistry.
  6. Conversion from government quota to free quota (by paying tuition) is prohibited.
  7. At the discretion of the university of medical sciences where the commitment is made, educational and therapeutic commitments can be converted into each other.

 

Don’t look for blame in the works and results related to it.

Don’t look for blame in the works and results related to it.

Every person doing things And the responsibilities that have been assigned to him or he has paid them based on his needs, he may achieve success or fail. Faced with failure, people have different approaches and examine the issue from different angles. A group without examining and analyzing the reasons for failure, just repeats the previous work and path. Due to insufficient vision, these people may fail in the next time and suffer despair and frustration. At this stage, they lose their self-confidence and justify their failure with the help of transcendental issues. An example of this category of people are those who call themselves unlucky, bad at exams, etc.

The second group

They follow the same path as above; But they look for the reason for their failure in their friends and family. In this way, these people add problems to their problems and in addition to further destroying their morale, they also lose the support of their friends and family.

By projecting, these people put their problems on others to free themselves from the trouble of analyzing the path they have taken! Because remembering and reviewing the path taken is uncomfortable and sad for them.

The third group

Without examining their previous work steps and gaining experience, they justify their failure with social reasons. Factors such as non-standard questions, inappropriate quotas, etc. Recounting these issues means that despite my high innate talent, I have not succeeded in obtaining a suitable result due to illusion! These people are trying to find a compromise with their failure.

If you are in the first group or transcendental people, you need to change your negative thinking to regain your lost confidence.

For this purpose, participate in a small test with careful planning and high effort. Now, by getting the first good result and successful experience, you will find yourself another person who can do bigger things.

But if you are in the second group, you need to do two things to achieve success:

Get peace of mind

Analyzing the path traveled and gaining experience from past mistakes. For successful analysis, you need to be calm, and this calmness is achieved through forgiveness. So even if your friends and family have been influential in your lack of success, forgive them all right now and take responsibility for your actions.

But if you are in the third group, try to accept issues and problems as they are; Even if assuming all the issues that you recount and consider them to be the cause of your lack of success are true, you must include them in your plan in such a way that you can slowly move past them safely.

If you study well and succeed in getting an excellent grade and rank, no external factor can prevent you from reaching your desired field; So it is better to strengthen ourselves more.

But remember that successful people learn from every failure and see it as a bright light on their future path. So, if we fail, we should go back with ourselves and analyze our work and method in detail, find out our shortcomings and correct them.

It is necessary to experience all the issues yourself; If you have not participated in the test yet, you can use the experience of your friends and classmates; But the experience of each of these people is based on their own special conditions and cannot be used for you completely. So it is better to use the experience of counselors who have faced many students for many years and their experiences are based on their long-term observations. So let’s not look for the culprit, be calm, review our path, plan for the future, think about success and do the same day’s work well and perfectly every day and most importantly finish it.

An overview of the advantages and limitations of entering specialized courses

An overview of the advantages and limitations of entering specialized courses

Success in the specialized exam and entry into specialized dental courses has become the main concern of general dentists. large volume

Graduated dentists raise the question more and more every day that “is entry into residency courses a necessity?”

General colleagues, despite participating in various supplemental training courses for implant, restorative-cosmetic, endo, perio, etc., their internal desire to continue their education and participate in specialized courses is still observed. A sentence that is often heard is that I feel that I have not finished the work and I am not satisfied and rich from an internal point of view. I feel like I’m missing something; I have a missing one; Most of my classmates who were lower than me were accepted.

In this rare opportunity, we try to present some points about continuing education so that by examining the advantages and disadvantages of this path, the best decision can be made; So that you are satisfied in both cases. The advantages of entering specialized courses are briefly:

۱- Your field of work is limited to a specific field so that you can focus more by providing the relevant tools and facilities.

۲- The quality of the dentist’s work has increased and he will provide specialized and favorable treatment services to patients.

۳- Due to the large number of general dentistry graduates, a suitable job market will be created for the specialist.

۴- Less intellectual and practical energy will be spent on treating patients during work.

۵- The purchase of office materials and equipment is reduced and the possibility of materials expiring is reduced.

۶- After completing a specialized course and obtaining a specialized board, a specialist can work in dental schools as an assistant professor and engage in scientific and research work.

۷- Due to the increase in the popular culture of visiting a specialist dentist, the society’s approach has shifted towards receiving specialized services.

۸- An expert dentist sees it as a necessity to constantly keep her scientific information up to date.

In addition to the mentioned merits, there are also difficulties on this path, which are briefly:

In addition to the mentioned merits, there are also difficulties on this path, which are briefly:

۲- After entering the specialized course, the student must study hard and pass this course.

۳- At the end of the specialized course, the board exam with all its aspects must be passed. If you pass this test successfully, you can enter the faculty of the university.

۴- The work commitment or coefficient k in the form of treatment or education in universities and medical centers outside the center to the extent of twice the years of education is one of the problems of entering specialized courses. If a person has enough points to establish a practice, she can register in colleges that accept free students. Of course, an annual amount must be paid to the faculty of the place of study, which amount is not small; In addition, in these cases, it is often the student’s responsibility to prepare the equipment and materials. However, if the individual’s points are not enough to establish a practice, she prefers to attend other medical or educational centers to obtain the necessary points at the same time.

۵- The variety of work in the office is lost and the field of dentistry is limited.

۶- Expectations and expectations from the specialist dentist increase.

The decision and choice of the path is entrusted to you so that you can take steps in such a way that you are satisfied in any situation. Just remember that by entering the jirga of specialists, your commitment and responsibility towards the dental community will increase and you will be more targeted.
