Drinking Water
I don’t count but I drink quite a lot of water – especially in the Office.
Often time I go take water when I’m already thirsty (not good!). And because I’m already thirsty, I drink a lot after taking water. My cup is left with only a bit of water.
After a short while, I finish my water in the cup… And so I have to…
I repeat the process a few times for a few months (i guess?) until I find “Wah, no more water? So fast?”
I feel so frustrated especially when I’m in the midst of doing something. I literally have to stop, stand up and go take water. Sounds simple right? Nah, though everything takes less than 1 minute, it actually is very frustrating when I’m in a total focus mode :O Every coders and the likes should know what I mean.
I finally realize “it’s kinda silly!”, I should’ve done it differently…
The moral of the story is that
- Instead of waiting until I’m feel thirsty (then I go take water), I should’ve had a lot of water ready on my side. It’s a healthier way to drink water and helps not to interrupt my work as well.
> So don’t wait (until I need water or anything) – always get/build something before I need it. #Relationship #Networking #Synergy! #7habits - I should’ve taken & drunk a lot of water to get me over my thirst first then taken another cup of water and bring back to my table.
> Save but never “Live below your means!” Always treat myself well & often.
Anyone who don’t treat themselves well and keep living below their means will tend to overspend when they finally get money for example. That’s what keep the Middle Class middle class. Men who don’t “play” while young also tend to commit weird behaviors and even crimes when getting order! It also sucks living below the means, doesn’t it? - Whenever I have something, I tend to overuse and/or (over)spend it immediately (water in this case – not so relevant though)!
Resist the temptation to spend. Keep it (as much and as long as possible)!!
Again this goes back to lesson #2 to solve the root problem.
Behind a simple & silly act comes so many worthwhile lessons! – that are never taught in school!!

“Does this book change your life?”
– How’s is it (Me, Inc book)?
– Does it change your life? #LongTran
Great books do change life! Just as “Rich dad poor dad” and “The SOGR” do to me.
But does my life change yet!? No, not straight away, not soon and definitely not “now”. I mean, if you look for a magic book or button that upon read or pressed will immediately and totally transform your life, you won’t be able to find it. It ain’t exist!
Even a winning lottery ticket can’t!
On the other hand, you look for something that could change the way you think, behave and do stuff. You can! Realistically!
As Jim Rohn once said “you cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your DIRECTION overnight.” Great books do just that!
PS: The gap between your destination and your direction is your LIFE. Enjoy it!

A Chinese Businessman
– How much is your salary?*
– A plus plus.
– How much is your rent?
– A/6
– How much do you spend a month in total?
– Around A/2
He’s happily nodded his head!
In Asia, it’s usually said:
No men are wiser than Chinese businessmen!
That reputation is built from their tremendous success on various fields around the world. This short conversation once again shows why they earn that reputation.
He skipped those usual small talks & jumped straight to what matters. By asking better questions, he got better answers. How a man spend his money says a lot about him.
* I hate being asked this question – this is a rare exception when I know why he asked that question

Một dân tộc yếu
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc thiếu người lãnh đạo;
Người tiếp người vẫn lui tới đó đây! (chật vật đi tìm đường đi cho chính mình)
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc đầy chia rẻ;
Người với người ganh ghét lẫn nhau.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc thiếu nội lực;
Người rồi người kìm kẹp lẫn nhau.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc nghèo;
Người cùng người sống khổ nhưng vẫn “hạnh phúc”.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc không dám đấu tranh;
Người dân sợ chính quyền hơn sợ giặc.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc thiếu tính dân tộc;
Người nối người bỏ nước ra đi.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc thiếu lý tưởng;
để đất nước phải lệ thuộc vào cường quốc, ngoại bang.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc hèn;
Mất nước rồi vẫn (chỉ biết) nghĩ đến chuyện ăn chơi.
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc hay đỗ lỗi;
41 năm rồi vẫn trách cứ người xưa *
Một dân tộc yếu là một dân tộc mất đi…

Ideas
Jotting down “good” ideas popped into my head especially during my trips. Feel free to take them & make it become a reality. Once again, credit is appreciated but not required.
My dream is to build a terrific library for Hue before 30 & expand to to 3-5 libraries throughout the province before 35. Why?
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!”
I believe education (teaching, training and books in particular) impacts much more on one’s life than pure donations.
Jakarta – Bandung: July 13-16
TransJakarta: Buses run on separate lane! An cheap & good alternative to Train/Subway!
Semarang – Yogja trip: Oct 26-30, 2016
There should be a device or sth that help translate & facilitate conversation among people speaking different languages so that we don’t need to translate back & forward to a foreigner who would feel less isolated/leftout too. #Yogja #Oct27 #HaijiLane #MeliaMom
Bangkok: Aug 12-15, 16
Use humor in education: e.g. on roadside banners
> Make it more memorable & fun.
Teaching history through stories & drawing #GrandPalace
e.g. History of Vietnam in 5 years, 10 years – dark periods: wars, separation…
Set a Combo – add ons (Lunch buffer) – make the package looks much cheaper!! #SafariWorld #BKK #Ideas #Persuasive
KL: Apr 30 – May 1, 16:
Development (10-; 20-year) plan
Taiwan: Apr 22-25, 16
Have monthly small & fun games to create & increase team bonding #TV
Beijing & Shanghai: Dec 24, 15 – Jan 2, 16
Specialized Art Zone, market or whatever

Too Easy with Yourself
Some people are just too easy with themselves:
- They can’t even pronounce the name of where they’re living properly. They think it’s alright.
- They fight back immediately if people give them constructive feedback yet don’t take it that seriously when they’re home. – Nevermind!
- When meeting people who are much “better” (richer, more successful, etc.) than themselves, they don’t feel bad! They consider it “reality”!
I can’t.
Sometimes that’s not good (when I take everything (be it a joke or random saying/criticism) too seriously) but most of the time, it helps! In fact, it forces me to research, read, learn or do whatever it takes to improve what I didn’t know or not good at. It pushes me forward!

Về sự xuống cấp…
Euro 2016 đã đến…
Nếu như ở Euro 2012, Tạ Biên Cương (TBC) còn là một thảm họa, thì 2 năm sau ở World Cup 2014 tại Brazil, anh ấy đã trở thành 1 hiện tượng, hay nói theo cách của blogger Lê Nguyễn Hương Trà, là một “lý do (nữa) để xem World Cup” (!) 😀 4 năm sau tại Euro 2016, TBC bây giờ đã trở thành một “idol” có chỗ đứng rất vững chắc trong lòng nhiều bạn trẻ (với rất nhiều fanpages).
Bây giờ những lỗi bình luận hay những lời “chém gió” quá mức cần thiết của anh ấy nhanh chóng được các fans bỏ qua (như là phần tất yếu của “cuộc sống”) và thậm chí là bảo vệ (!).
Khi “nhảm” trở thành hay; khi hay trở thành “nhàm”
Không phải ngẫu nhiên mà TBC từ một thảm họa đã nhanh tróng trở thành một hiện tượng và idol. Công bằng mà nói, TBC bình luận rất nhiệt huyết & máu lứa. Anh ấy có nhiều bình luận cũng rất vui, “teen” và có tính giải trí khá cao ví dụ như:
Đường bóng chỉ thành công về mặt ý tưởng” hay
Có vóc dáng và thể hình của một người công nhân nhưng đôi lúc ta cảm tưởng Tài Em như đang làm thơ trên sân bóng.”
Nhưng đánh đồng nó với “hay” thì theo tôi là không phải.
Mỗi người có mỗi cách xem và cảm nhận khác nhau. Nhưng thích đến độ nhân nhượng cho cái sai (nói chung), mà cụ thể ở đây trong trường hợp của TBC là những trích dẫn sai hay những lời nói xáo rỗng, thì thật sự không nên.
Ở đây, tôi muốn nói tới sự xuống cấp trong cảm nhận của một lượng lớn người hâm mộ xem bóng đá nói riêng và nghệ thuật nói chung.
Đây là một trận đấu dự đoán là rất khó dự đoán. 😉
Sau khi kết thúc hiệp 1 thì trận đấu vẫn có thể còn 45 phút nữa (!!)
Tội lại nhớ đến những sex jokes. Sex jokes thường “vui”, một phần là vì nó vẫn còn là 1 taboo ít được nói đến. Những những thú vui (bất chợt nhận ra vì sao từ “thú vui” rất hay và chính xác ở trường hợp này) từ sex thường được enjoyed bởi vì nó bình dân, ai cũng hiểu nhưng nhiều lúc không dám nói, vui ngầm. Nghe nhiều lúc quen, nhiều người nghĩ & đánh đồng rằng chỉ có sex jokes mới (thật sự) vui & vui thì chỉ có sex jokes :O Thật ra thì có nhiều jokes không phải về sex những vẫn vui & thậm chí sâu xa (“thâm”). Mình có thể học được nhiều điều chỉ qua những lời nói đùa đó.
Trong bóng đá, các cầu thủ có thể ghi bàn bằng rất nhiều cách, bằng đầu, bằng chân, bằng đầu gối … ngoại trừ dùng tay. Nhưng dù là đầu hay đầu gối thì cũng thế thôi, đều là đầu cả.”
Chúng ta đang ở quá gần với những cái sai, cái xấu. Mà gần mực thì đen, chúng ta nhiều lúc cảm nhận được cả những cái mà bản thân nó chẳng có gì hay (!!). Điều này thật ra cũng không quá bất ngờ, cái gì cũng có 2 mặt (tốt và xấu); ngay cả kẻ thất bại vĩ đại nhất thế giới này cũng có nhiều điều đáng để chúng ta học. Việc chúng ta tìm được những điểm sáng trong bóng tối là một điều đáng mừng. Câu hỏi đặt ra là vì sao chúng ta lại (phải) chọn đi vào bóng tối ngay ở bước đầu tiên?? (at the first place)
A lie told often enough becomes the truth!” – Lenin
Theo bạn vì sao những bài nhạc pop với lời lẻ thô lục & xáo rỗng (nhưng dễ nghe) lại được rất nhiều người nghe? 😉 Trong khi những bản nhạc xưa đầy tâm trạng & ý nghĩa với những ca từ ngọt ngào & say đắm nhiều lúc lại không được đón nhận.
Đều này nằm ở cảm nhận của khán thính giả.
Cảm nhận thường mang tính cá nhân và riêng tư nhưng thật ra nó đến từ học thức và kinh nghiệm sống (!?). Người ta gọi nhạc cổ điển là “âm nhạc bác học” vì không phải ai nghe cũng hiểu; mà không hiểu thì làm sao cảm nhận và thấy hay được? Chúng ta cũng có những bài hát về lịch sử hay cổ động như “Dậy mà đi”. Bình thường nghe thì chúng ta khó có cảm xúc như những bài hát về tình yêu đôi lứa được. Vì sao phải “dậy”? Mà dậy rồi thì “đi” đâu? Nhưng khi có chiến sự hay tổ quốc ta cần, bài hát đó lại trở thành một lời kêu gọi đầy ý nghĩa.
Tất nhiên một sản phẩm “hay” nhưng không được đón nhận sẽ là một thất bại (và ngược lại). Mỗi khán giả phải chọn cho mình 1 phong cách nghe riêng cũng như mỗi nhà sản xuất phải chọn cho mình 1 target audience nhất định.
Một lời khuyên mà tôi học được là mình không nên đi theo số đông (dù nó dễ chịu & thoải mái hơn nhiều). Khi nào mình tách ra được khỏi đám đông đó thì cũng là lúc mình bắt đầu khác biệt và thành công.
Remember, it’s always lonely
at the top! So don’t be afraid 😉
