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.

TRADITIONAL AMERICAN FOOD

When my friends ask me “let’s go eat American”, I always think that they ask me “let’s eat HAMBURGER”. I know that fast food is not only traditional American food, but other kinds of American food are under fast food’s shadow. Fast food is omnipresent because it is convenient and cheap. During the first time I came to USA, I ate fast food more than four times a week. But now I cannot try it anymore.

Admittedly, there were three main reasons that make fast food to become more famous. First, due to industrial revolution, we don’t have time to cook so that we just go out for lunch/dinner. Next, our parents buy more and more prepared-food which we could buy easily at Costco, Wal-Mart, etc. Moreover, our parents just pass on ordering skill instead of cooking skill.

OPTIMISTIC QUOTE

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." said Winston Churchill. This quote means that there are two slides of a coin and pro/coin is depends on who you are. Admittedly, I agree with this quote. Be strong when we have a trouble and be always a optimist guy. We can succeed when we think we are going to be. One of the keys helping us to achieve your dream easier is to set up our goal and never doubt about it. For example, as the first few days in the US, i used to think that i could not survive her because i have no one by my side. However, everything gets better now. I have many friends and enjoy the life here.
If we think we can, we can... my friends. Try our best ^_^

BIRDS OF THE FEATHERS

Vietnamese has a saying that "tell me who your friends are, i well tell you who you are". This saying is similar to the saying "birds of the feathers flock together". Although these saying are the common though, they are not correct for my condition. I have a close friend who is totally different form me. First, it is habit. I usually hit my bed when I'm sad, while he usually goes to gym. Next, it is personalities. I am extroverted but he is introverted. This is one of the reasons why we are best friend. He always listens and cheer me up. I wonder if both of us are extroverted, who will be the listening guy. The last one is the eating behavior. Though, i love the core of breads but he rarely eats them.
Once a best friend, forever a best friend. Love what you have.
