About pursuing happiness
For my beloved friends. My friends, one is 28 years old and the other is 27. Both are young kind ladies. However, according to Vietnamese traditional way of counting age, they are now 29 and 28 years old. Of course, also as a tradition, the world around them starts to spin around just one question: “When will you get married?

I quit being a full-time employee
Working as a full-time employee at a big company is the dream job of many people. You have a stable salary, good work compensations, many insurances covered, … It was one of my big goals in life too.

Live A Life Without Labels
All our life we live to earn a label. It comes under many names, like dream, recognition, a job position, etc. We live to become someone in this world and find the answer for the “Who am I?” inside.

When You Need To Swallow Criticism
And it’s not comfortable. And you can’t spit it out. So I’ve spent the whole last week on swallowing some criticism (sometimes bad things love company, so they come all together at once). Self-doubt included. I won’t deny. Let’s be clear. We all get criticism for things we do in life. Some are constructive. Some are just bad-mouthed ranting. The suck part of being an adult is that you have to take way too much criticism than when you were a child.

Are You Lazy Or Just Uninterested?
Being lazy because you are a sloth by nature is a different approach from being lazy because you’re not interested in doing things. Being lazy and being uninterested is just the same answer for one problem. Only the approach is different. We need to identify the right approach to find the cure for our problem of “not doing anything”. There are no lazy people. Only uninterested ones.

Don’t Wait Until You’re Ready
You’ll never know when you’re ready enough. In fact, you are already ready, even when you think you’re not! And believe me, if you’re waiting for the moment you think you’re ready, you’ll be waiting forever. They say a goal without a plan is just a wish.

The Problem Is, You Didn’t Start

Today Is A Good Day!
Live positively is actually very easy. Try waking up earlier, and tell yourself: Today is a good day. Day by day. I tried it. And my life got better. Whenever I have to deal with bad things happening, I’ll recall the thought: Today is a good day.
