Những ly bia- quà tặng cuộc sống!!

Một giáo sư đang trong giờ giảng về cách quản lý thời gian. Ông đặt vài thứ trước mặt. Đầu tiên, ông lấy một cái bình to và bắt đầu cho vào đó những quả bóng chơi golf. Sau đó, ông hỏi các sinh viên: “Theo các bạn, bình đã đầy chưa?”. “Rồi ạ!”, các sinh viên trả lời. Giáo sư lại lấy ra một hộp đựng đầy bi và đổ vào bình. Rồi lắc lên cho bi rơi lấp vào khoảng trống giữa những quả bóng. Ông lại hỏi lần nữa và các sinh viên, lần này có vẻ ngập ngừng hơn, trả lời: “Có lẽ là rồi ạ.” Lần này, vị giáo sư lấy ra một xô cát, và cũng đổ vào bình. Tất nhiên, cát lấp đầy các khe hở. Ông hỏi lại và các sinh viên lần này đồng thanh: “Rồi ạ!” “Hãy xem này, “ giáo sư nói và lấy ra hai lon bia, đổ vào bình. Bia tràn vào giữa những hạt cát. “Bây giờ,” giáo sư nói, “tôi muốn các bạn hãy tưởng tượng cái bình này như cuộc đời của mình.

Tet is a sweet-smelling, smoky time for all, but in one village in Hung Yen Province

Tet is a sweet-smelling, smoky time for all, but in one village in Hung Yen Province it is the culmination of months of work as households sweat over machines to make the incense sticks the rest of the country will burn to mark the new year. Villagers in Cao Thon, Bao Khe Commune share a generations-old craft, each household turning out twenty-to-thirty thousand sticks a day, using a time-tested mix of sawdust, cinnamon, sandalwood and sunshine. Production, by some 70 percent of the commune's households, begins in earnest in October, with rain deciding the days off. Incense from Cao Thon Village is much sought after for its quality and will be burned throughout the country.

A cafe in HCM City has recently been turned into a popular place for antique collectors. The Cao Minh Cafe resides in a small alley on No Trang Long Street. The cafe hosts what it calls "the Second-Hand Market". It serves not only as a market for less-than-new items, but is also a place for people to meet and exchange information. Each week, the market auctions 10 items. For example, this week, a stone tea set with a starting price of VND500,000 (USD24) was bought for VND1.6 million. People bring all types of objects to sell, from old cars, watches and jewelry to pens, books and hats. Some people come to the market just to look at the old items and remember the past. Many come there in search of beautiful and unique items and others come to sell second-hand items when they are in need of cash. One prominent feature of the market is a statue of Bodhidharma that was put on display, but is not for sale. The owner said he would give it to the person he deems worthy.

Ha Noi, love and miss

About 1.5km long, Phan Dinh Phung Street runs from Mai Xuan Thuong Street to Hang Cot Street and crosses the roads of Hoang Dieu, Dang Dung, Nguyen Tri Phuong, and Hang Bun.    This is the road with the largest sidewalks in Hanoi, with two rows of ancient dracontomelum trees.     The road is especially nice in the autumn, when the trees shed leaves.      In the last days of autumn, the street is very peaceful and romantic in the middle of noisy, boisterous Hanoi.    As the most beautiful road in Hanoi, Phan Dinh Phung Street attracts many tourists, who come here to see historic buildings such as the North Gate and old French villas, and to relax in a green space.     Wandering the street, you will see vendors who sell flowers on bikes.    Take a walk with someone on the street to feel the peaceful, romantic atmosphere here.   The road at night.
