Charging the battery

|

There is a very modern paradox. The phone in our pocket is often fuller than the person holding it. Every night, before going to bed, many people always have a habit of finding a charging cable.

Salvation

|

When we are young, we are often fascinated by great things. We want to do great things, create great achievements, earn a lot of money, and live a life worthy of admiration. We believe that happiness lies at some peak ahead. But then years teach us another lesson. There are people who have reached the peak of fame but are still lonely; or own everything but do not know what they live for. Meanwhile, there are small things that seem insignificant, but become the last refuge of the soul. Psychologist Carl Jung once wrote: "The smallest things that are meaningful will be more valuable than the greatest things that are meaningless". The longer you live, the more you realize that human life is not created by great events, but by countless small things that have quietly passed through and remained.

Love is not everything

|

There is a period in life where most of us once thought love was the center of the universe. When in love, a five-minute reply message can cause your mood to decline faster than stock prices on a crisis day. An unintentional look is enough to make your heart happy as if you just won the lottery. And a saying goodbye sometimes makes people feel like the end of the world has come. That is very normal. Humans tend to exaggerate the importance of what is bothering their hearts the most. Just like when you have a toothache, you think your whole body is just left with a tooth. When you are heartbroken, you think your whole life is just left with sadness.

Looking deeply

|

I have a friend who is addicted to books, reading everything from Greek philosophy to global management art. Wherever he goes, he clings to a thick book, opening his mouth for five minutes and quoting a celebrity. One day, sitting in a coffee shop, he talked non-stop about behavioral psychology and the art of understanding humanity, until the waitress reminded him: "Brother, your phone has been under the chair next to you for a while now." It turned out that while he was busy analyzing human nature, he had no idea that his inseparable item had moved elsewhere.

High-quality human resources will determine the efficiency of FDI capital flows

The national conference to study, study, thoroughly grasp and implement Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW of the Politburo on foreign-invested economic development held on the morning of June 30 conveyed a very clear and strong message: Vietnam is entering a new stage of development with a new mindset about the foreign-invested economic sector (FDI).

Praise and mirror

|

I have an extremely humble friend, at least he always says so to himself. Every time he posts photos online, he attaches the status line: "Photos taken randomly, don't praise them." Then 5 minutes later, when someone commented "Too beautiful. The photo is very emotional", he continued "You are too much". And so until the 10th comment, he still persistently denied it but absolutely did not miss a compliment without responding.
