Hồi còn đi học ở phương xa, có những học kỳ mình ra khỏi nhà lúc 6h15 sáng và về đến nhà lúc 10h đêm. Trong nhiều tháng thì mình không còn nhớ cái khoảnh khắc nhìn sân nhà mình khi trời còn sáng. Cứ đi như vậy từ thứ hai đến thứ sáu. ThứContinue reading “[DAY 116]”

My boss says this almost every day, “it doesn’t matter if you’re 99% sure about your performance with a guest – if you cannot close that deal, that 99% will become 0%, or nothing.” A deal is only a deal when it has been successfully delivered, and the customer on the other end has paid.

But today I could sense it in the air. I might have been too pessimistic, perhaps because I haven’tContinue reading “[DAY 109]”

I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough privacy or freedom or motivation to work hard, because at home I’m a semi-baby. Yet, my parents turn out to be supportive of my growth outside of home.Continue reading “[DAY 108] past fourteen days”

How long does it take for one to rest and get back to one’s feet?

When my sister was born, everyone insisted my parents on calling her “Ý Thơ” because that was the only name that rhythms with mine, “Ý Thi”. It’s the tradition: siblings should be alike.
