2007 is passing through, happy new year...
Children, sleeping. Snow is softly falling. Dreams are calling, Like bells in the distance. We were dreamers, Not so long ago. But one by one, we All had to grow up. When it seems the magic slipped away... We find it all again on Christmas Day. Believe in what your heart is saying, Hear the melody that's playing. There's no time to waste, There so much to celebrate. Believe in what you feel inside, Give your dreams the wings to fly. You have everything you need, if you just believe. Trains move quickly To their journey's end. Destinations... Are where we begin again. Ships go sailing, Far across the sea. Trusting starlight, To get where they need to be. When it seems that we have lost our way... We find ourselves again on Christmas Day. Believe in what your heart is saying, Hear the melody that's playing There's no time to waste, There so much to celebrate. Believe in what you feel inside, And give your dreams the wings to fly. You have everything you need, if you just Believe. If you just believe. If you just believe. If you just believe...just believe...just believe. |
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La I’m wishing on a star And trying to believe That even though it’s far He’ll find me Christmas Eve I guess that Santa’s busy Cause he’s never come around I think of him When Christmas comes to town The best time of the year When everyone comes home With all this Christmas cheer It’s hard to be alone Putting up the Christmas tree With friends who come around It’s so much fun When Christmas comes to town Presents for the children Wrapped in red and green All the things I’ve heard about But never really seen No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve Hoping Santa’s on his way Presents for the children Wrapped in red and green All the things I’ve heard about But never really seen No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve Hoping Santa’s on his way When Santa’s sleigh bells ring I listen all around The herald angels sing I never hear a sound And all the dreams of children Once lost will all be found That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town |
CHUYẾN TÀU CUỘC SỐNG Ta ngỡ ngàng thấy qua 20 tuổi Tàu thời gian chẳng có vé khứ hồi Bánh năm tháng rít vào lòng khô khốc Chạy miệt mài bỏ ga xép nhỏ nhoi Không có vé trở về ga kỉ niệm Ta bơ vơ giữa phòng đợi cuộc đời Bao ước mơ cùng lo toan trĩu nặng Chẳng lúc nào có đôi chút thảnh thơi Cuộc sống là những toa tàu chật cứng Chỉ người lên mà chẳng xuống bao giờ Những số phận cùng bao nhiêu nét mặt Chen chúc người đến bẹp cả ước mơ Có kẻ ngồi và bao người phải đứng Lẽ dĩ nhiên đông nghẹt một chuyến tàu Hạnh phúc là một cái chăn chật hẹp ? Có những người như chẳng biết thương nhau Ôi những chuyến tàu đi mãi về đâu Chẳng cần xuống ga cuối cùng tráng lệ Cho ta xuống ga cuối cùng nhỏ bé Xốc lại ước mơ, sửa lại chính mình Cho ta xuống ga này bé nhỏ không tên. |
ĐỔI TOA Nhắm mắt lại chạy ù qua tuổi 21 Dẫu sau lưng mưa đã ướt đầu Chạy vào chuyến tàu không trở lại Đi mịt mùng trong những toa thời gian Mỗi toa là một tuổi Nhắm mắt vào toa mới Còi tàu đang xé toang đêm Đêm nay, mình ở đâu ? Những toa đã ở bây giờ là của người khác Lạ lẫm nhìn những gì thân quen Lạ lẫm với cả chỗ mình ngồi Xình xịch... Những đường ray bất tận Xình xịch... Những bánh răng liên hồi Nhắm mắt ... bước qua chỗ nối ... |
Sad but interesting song. Each will observe this differently and has their own way to find the answer

Previous Post: Luck and Opportunity
This is the short article I read last night about how to increase your chance to get lucky. Some interesting things to learn and to share.
How to Get Lucky (Richard Wiseman)Live a Charmed LifeTo investigate scientifically why some people are consistently lucky and others aren't, I advertised in national periodicals for volunteers of both varieties. Four hundred men and women from all walks of life -- ages 18 to 84 -- responded. Over a ten-year period, I interviewed these volunteers, asked them to complete diaries, personality questionnaires and IQ tests, and invited them to my laboratory for experiments. Lucky people, I found, get that way via some basic principles -- seizing chance opportunities; creating self-fulfilling prophecies through positive expectations; and adopting a resilient attitude that turns bad luck around. Open Your Mind Consider chance opportunities: Lucky people regularly have them; unlucky people don't. To determine why, I gave lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to tell me how many photos were inside. On average, unlucky people spent about two minutes on this exercise; lucky people spent seconds. Why? Because on the paper's second page -- in big type -- was the message "Stop counting: There are 43 photographs in this newspaper." Lucky people tended to spot the message. Unlucky ones didn't. I put a second one halfway through the paper: "Stop counting, tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250." Again, the unlucky people missed it. The lesson: Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they're too busy looking for something else. Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they're looking for. This is only part of the story. Many of my lucky participants tried hard to add variety to their lives. Before making important decisions, one altered his route to work. Another described a way of meeting people. He noticed that at parties he usually talked to the same type of person. To change this, he thought of a color and then spoke only to guests wearing that color -- women in red, say, or men in black. Does this technique work? Well, imagine living in the center of an apple orchard. Each day you must collect a basket of apples. At first, it won't matter where you look. The entire orchard will have apples. Gradually, it becomes harder to find apples in places you've visited before. If you go to new parts of the orchard each time, the odds of finding apples will increase dramatically. It is exactly the same with luck. Relish the Upside Another important principle revolved around the way in which lucky and unlucky people deal with misfortune. Imagine representing your country in the Olympics. You compete, do well, and win a bronze medal. Now imagine a second Olympics. This time you do even better and win a silver medal. How happy do you think you'd feel? Most of us think we'd be happier after winning the silver medal. But research suggests athletes who win bronze medals are actually happier. This is because silver medalists think that if they'd performed slightly better, they might have won a gold medal. In contrast, bronze medalists focus on how if they'd performed slightly worse, they wouldn't have won anything. Psychologists call this ability to imagine what might have happened, rather than what actually happened, "counter-factual" thinking. To find out if lucky people use counter-factual thinking to ease the impact of misfortune, I asked my subjects to imagine being in a bank. Suddenly, an armed robber enters and fires a shot that hits them in the arms. Unlucky people tended to say this would be their bad luck to be in the bank during the robbery. Lucky people said it could have been worse: "You could have been shot in the head." This kind of thinking makes people feel better about themselves, keeps expectations high, and increases the likelihood of continuing to live a lucky life. Learn to Be Lucky Finally, I created a series of experiments examining whether thought and behavior can enhance good fortune. First came one-on-one meetings, during which participants completed questionnaires that measured their luck and their satisfaction with six key areas of their lives. I then outlined the main principles of luck, and described techniques designed to help participants react like lucky people. For instance, they were taught how to be more open to opportunities around them, how to break routines, and how to deal with bad luck by imagining things being worse. They were asked to carry out specific exercises for a month and then report back to me. The results were dramatic: 80 percent were happier and more satisfied with their lives -- and luckier. One unlucky subject said that after adjusting her attitude -- expecting good fortune, not dwelling on the negative -- her bad luck had vanished. One day, she went shopping and found a dress she liked. But she didn't buy it, and when she returned to the store in a week, it was gone. Instead of slinking away disappointed, she looked around and found a better dress -- for less. Events like this made her a much happier person. |
There are 4 beauties.
The beauty of body.
Body is the temple given to you to live your whole existence. Within it you live, so you have the responsibility to keep it healthy, fit and strong.
You take good care of your body, feed it well, clean it well, preserve it well and train it well.
You care about your eyes by resting them properly, you care about your life span by breathing deep, you care about your heart, your brain, your bones, your muscles and everything inside by proper nutrition and regular training.
Your body is the basic of what you have, the manifestation of the greatest gift : your life.
----------------
The second is the beauty of mind.
You grow with your mind's capacity and deepness...
You grow with your understanding.
You live to learn, and learn how to live everyday. You learn the purpose of life, the ways to grow, to solve the problems, to cope with circumstances.
You can learn everything.
You learn about the wisdom of the past, the principles of religion, the forces and waves of physical world outside, the joy of music and art... You can learn everything.
The wisdom, knowledge and skills will never leave you if you polish them from time to time.
----------------
The beauty of heart.
It is the beauty of caring, of sensitiveness, of relationships, of family and friends.
How wife, sons, daughters, parent, family remember you? How friends remember you?
To give joy and share sorrow, to understand, to listen, to give. The power to love, to forgive and to help.
And the courage to sacrifice.
----------------
Beauty of the core.
How will the world remember you?
It is the power of your character, your passion and your dream. It is the source of your life, the desire to live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy.
It contains your inspirations, your deepest values, your meaning.
This is the root - Meaning of your life, of your beliefs, the fire inside of your whole existence.
"The attributes of Love are: Meekness, Tolerance, Patience, Forgiveness and Reconciliation."
Meekness is to be kind, calm, to be good listener, to share and let the other free to be thyself. To love without any expectation in mind, demanding nothing in return."Many things have been attributed to love that it is sometimes doubtful to say what is love. However, a few facts remain clear. True love demands nothing in return. It is not given with an expectation in mind. It goes with no strings attached. It does not covet or possess. It gives freely. It feels the pain when the other person is in pain and it rejoices when the other person attains something positive in life, be it in a different relationship, a new job, or career. True love understands. True love tolerates. True love knows that love is indeed the most powerful force in the universe and therefore cannot be outdone by any other force. True love is patient for it knows that love is freedom and cannot be forced or compelled, but will always be how, where, and when It will." |
