“- I like pretty, long legged girls!
– I also like to have lots of money.

Opps, sorry this article is about what I love not what I like.

Like vs Love?

Like & Love both describe what we want. But they are different (significantly different!).

For me Like is more about. In terms of time, it’s more like instant, now, at the moment & probably doesn’t last (long). Maybe I’d like to have a beer now (becos it’s hot) but I wouldn’t wanna have it later at night. I may like a tall & pretty PR girl but it doesn’t mean I want to live with her forever.

Love is something with a stronger feeling than like. It usually last longer as well. If I love beer, I would drink it very often (unless I’m sick :D) & would wanna try different kinds of beer to see what’s best. If I love someone, I will want to do lots of things with her (to see what we like best). But if I like someone, I may like to do one thing with different girls (to see who‘s the best).
Don’t blame me, it’s just an example which is probably true as well 😀

We may like to have money but surely we don’t wanna sleep with money. Money is just a old & dirty paper. Money alone doesn’t have or carry any meaning nor feeling… We may hear someone says they love money. Wrong! They don’t love money they love what money may bring them – which they may not know either…

So I think there is a misunderstand & intepretation between LOVE & LIKE.

Okies so What I love?

pretty tough question, isn’t it?
Alright:

I love numbers
Don’t tell me that you don’t. Get it? 😛

I love stats & probability
that’s why sometimes I’m tempted to my “knowledge” & luck in gambling 😀

I love traveling

I love beaches
I’ve visited quite a few beautiful beaches so far

I love meeting & talking to new people
though actually I’m really not good at it.

In a broader view,

I <3 History

Yea I know. History is such a boring subject. You would say. But I think otherwise. Born in Hue – the last imperial capital of Vietnam – where one of the most devastating & longest American war took place; My great great grandfather & his children were also like minister & mayor (Thuong Thu) under the Nguyen Dynasty; Growing up watching (& being influenced by) many Chinese imperial movies,… So I can’t do anything & but fall in love with history.
Most of all, I’m forever curious – I’d love to know what really happened in the past…

I <3 Psychology

Have you ever loved someone so much that you feel like you would die if you lose him/her? Have you ever seen girls who always claim her Mr. Right must be a good & nice guy would eventually fall in love with a bad & playboy-kind of guy? Have you ever noticed some guys with some seemingly born-traits that could enable him to get anything he/she wants while the rest of us can’t?
Have you ever wondered why it happens?
90% of those “magic” things would be attributed to “psychology” – which is fun, practical, learn-able & useful if not utterly important. That’s why I just love it!

I <3 Personal Development

If I would ever be successful (which I believe I will :D), I will attribute all to PD. There are many born gifted people but so do poor-to-rich people who overcome their terrible environment, conditions,.. to be great. These stories are just forever inspiring for all of us!

I <3 Teaching & Inspiring

I started “teaching” others since very young but the real & official teaching would only start in high school when I made some money (sometimes in form of free breakfast or drinks :D) teaching my friends English, Maths (?)…  Teaching is the ultimate form of learning & inspiring.

If we can’t teach & empower our friends, our employees & especially our kids to be better than us, we may be considered failures because our success (wealth, happiness, etc. if there is) is not sustainable. I remember I taught & guided my ex in some subjects that she ignored, which eventually helped her to have excellent & even better grades than mine in our graduation exam. Honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing 😀 but I realise when my “students” are better than me, I know I’ve succeeded (whether they acknowledge it or not) 🙂
