REACTION TO BARAKA

The scene I chose was showed at the beginning. It was about the landscape is cover by snow. This scene remained me the meaning of life. If we want to survive,we must be strong and over come the hard time. At the first time, I felt really sad because all of the trees trade off one of their part-leaves to get through the winter. After that, I felt better because I know they will be back when the spring comes. This scene also teach me that "be strong with whatever I face". If trees can find their way to survive, I can find my own way to succeed and get ahead in life.

Anticipating Your Parents' Objections

Dear Mom and Dad
The first thing I want to tell you is I love you so much. Thanks for raising me up. Thanks for being by my side when i fall. I'm writing this letter because it could be too impolite and unrespected if I talk to you face to face. I want to discuss about my project.You said that I just graduated from my University so I did not have enough experience to run it. Admittedly, I just graduated four months ago, but it did not mean that i did not have ability to succeed. First, base on what you said, it meant that you have wasted all your money because you sent me to one of the best universities in Vietnam and I got nothing there. Next, you should look at my grade. It's good enough to make you believe in me. Moreover, by the time I was a student, I was helping you to run our business. It helped me a lot such as gathering information and earning experience.
Please, believe in your son and give me a chance

My first resource

Linzmayer, O. W. (1999). Apple confidential: The real story of Apple Computer, Inc. San Francisco, Calif: No Starch Press.
This book was written by Owen W. Linzmayer. I use this book because it gives me so much confidential information about Apple Inc and Steve Jobs. First, from page 51 to 63: the information how great Xerox and Macintosh systems are. Second, from page 167 to 179: they give me information what did Steve do after he got fired from Apple Inc. I will use those information for my research.

Research Question

If i could be anyone in the world, I wanna be Steve Jobs. He is my favorite businessman and he has significantly affected in the world technology. Unfortunately, he got fired from the company he founded, Apple Inc. In my research, I will research to find out this decision from Apple board directors is a good or terrible decision. After i finish my research, it can answer 3 questions
1/ How did this decision affect the world technology?
2/ Was it good for Steve?
3/ Was it good for Apple Inc?

My best advice

The most horrible time I had experienced was the time I did my thesis. I had a huge trouble with it and thought that I could not finish it on time. I came to my supervisor office and had a conversation with him. He said that “why don’t I stop doing my thesis for a while”. He must be kidding me because I just had three weeks left. I thought I never follow his advice. He knew I was shock and then he asked me “what does STOP mean, Linh”. I was definitely sure to say that “STOP” means to quit doing something. He was laughing while he heard that. However, he gave me the best definition of “stop” I had ever heard. STOP is stands for Stuck,Think,Observe, Plan. When we stuck with something, think about it carefully, observe what we have done already, and plan new strategy.

That was the best advice I was given.
