Nếu chúng ta muốn mang đến sự thay đổi

Lời của Tổng Thống Obama:
-  Nếu chúng ta muốn mang đến sự thay đổi, nó phải bắt đầu từ chúng ta, từng người một và từng nhóm một.

- Khi bắt đầu là một người tổ chức cộng đồng trẻ tuổi tại Chicago, tôi đã học được rằng: những ý tưởng tuyệt vời nhất, những cái đã thành công, có từ những người (việc) bình thường nhất. Không ai cần phải trông chờ vào các nhà chính trị ở Trung Ương (Washington) : Sự thay đổi xảy ra khi từng cá nhân có trách nhiệm với từng người khác và cộng đồng của họ.

MERRY XMAS TO ALL!

CHÚC TẤT CẢ CÁC BẠN MỘT MÙA GIÁNG SINH HẠNH PHÚC VÀ VUI VẺ!

NEVER QUIT

when your salaries are low and your debts are too high;
you would want to smile but you 'd have to sigh.
when care is making you down a bit,
rest if you need to but do not quit
life is hard with its own twists and turns,

as sometimes, every one of us learns
when many failure turns inside out,
when you could... have won if you had turnd about
do not give up even when steps are slow,
you just may succeed with another blow.
success comes from failure on the inside to out,
with that silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
you may never tell how close you are,
it could be never even if it feels so far,
so stick with your greatest, strongest and hardest hit.
it's when things seem worse that you should not quit!

LET BLUE LIKE SKY AFTER RAIN

Night was ended and

Day comes

To you who groped in the moonless land

Leading by a tiny isolated star of hope

Wind was passed and

Dust settles down

To you who stepped blindly in the storm of sand

Holding a petite unfazed flower of trust

Dark clouds were blown away by your determined will

Sky blues again

After rain

Oh! The magnificent scene

Sky after rain

Incomparable

Let fly up

Together the dragonflies

Let fly up

Together the butterflies

Into the very blue endless sky

Not any hue is comparable to the color of sky

To be blue after rain

End your desperate acts

End your deep sorrows

End your doubts

End your shames

Let blue like sky

After rain

Your blinded eye was cleared

Your hurtful heart was healed

Your dull mind was shined

Your tainted name was cleaned

Let blue like sky

After rain

Now is your time

To get your wonderland

To get your treasures

To get your identity

To get your name

In the limelight

Of lifetime

Let blue like sky

After rain

Now is the time to fly up

High to the stardom

To go where you dream to

To get who you love to

To do when you want to

To achieve what you deserve to

This is your destiny

Let blue like sky

After rain
