The Research World: Where is my standing?

Today, a group of Korea professors from Sungkyunkwan came to my university. The aim is to give some information about their university and to attract students to follow the research Master/PhD at their labs in Korea . Sungkyunkwan is one of the largest universities in Korea, with a history more than 600 years. This is the only university supported by the King and it has also received lots of money from many companies and organizations. For example, their Communication Engineering Department has a strong financial support from Samsung Electronics - one of the top world companies in Semiconductor. Although I'm not interested in Computer Engineering but I still went to attend the talk to get some information about this field. And I've got lots...

The secret of Emotional Intelligence

Have you ever though what is the most important thing account for the success of a person in the society? Intelligence? No, most of successful people are not intelligent. Communication skill? Yeah, good answer but we want to get the more general, and the answer here is Emotional  Intelligence (EI) Maybe you will be very surprised when knowing that EI accounts for more than 50% of the job performance, especially in  management positions, it accounts for 80%.

Right here waiting for you

Up to now, I rarely listen to English songs because I have a feeling that English songs don't have much emotion as Vietnamese songs do. But today, one thing has made my opinion change, the song "Right here waiting for you". It's so wonderful that it has made me cry Richard Mark sang the song warmly. He took everybody into a sad story, where there were a boy and a girl . Because of some reasons, the girl had gone far, far away... left the boy alone with an eternal love. The boy missed the girl so much, but he can’t come to the girl. The only thing he could do is singing to express his feeling and hope one day; the girl will come back to him...Wherever you goWhatever you doI will be right here waiting for youWhatever it takesOr how my heart...

How to compare the standard of living?

What do you do if one of your fiend ask you to help him compare the standard of living between two countries such as Thailan and Vietnam ?  Maybe you will tell him to use the "GDP per capita" , which is the avarage value a person earns in one year. But this method is inappropriate. Why? Look into an example 100$ in Vietnam can help you have a good living in one month. But with the same amount of money in US, you cannot pay for one-month house renting. And it's very clear that $100 in Vietnam is more valuable than 100$ in US. So how can we compare the standard of living? That's PPP - Purchasing Power Parity, the amount of goods a person can afford to buy with his income. Below are PPP/GDP of some countries.   US                 ...

Cảm xúc bất chợt...

Không hiểu sao tối nay mình lại nhiều cảm xúc đến vậy, những kỉ niệm, hình ảnh trong quá khứ cứ liên tiếp hiện về...16 năm trước... Một trong những ngày hạnh phúc nhất của đời mình. Xúng xính trong bộ đồng phục, nhảy tung tăng trên con đường nhỏ đến trường, xuyên qua những hàng bàng mát rượt đang trong mùa thay lá...Lớp 5... Tạm biệt ngôi trường làng thân yêu gắn liền với những kỉ niệm tuổi thơ tươi đẹp để chuyển lên thành phố. Một môi trường mới hơn cùng những người bạn giỏi hơn, xen lẫn phần nào sự tính toán ích kỉ cá nhân.Lớp 10... Một thoáng phân vân với một chút lưỡng lự. Toán học hay máy tính? Gia đình hay bản thân? Tiếp tục đam mê hay một cánh cửa đại học thênh thang... Cuối cùng mình cũng đã đủ dũng cảm để đi theo điều trái tim mình...

Phục lòng người

Tuần này mình tìm được cuốn sách “Đắc nhân tâm”, một cuốn sách khá hay nói về các kĩ năng giao tiếp. Nói về vấn đề này, mình cảm thấy mình cũng thuộc loại khá, tuy nhiên hình như còn một điều gì đó chưa ổn lắm theo như nhận xét của một số người bạn xung quanh “Có những lúc Ngôn thật đáng sợ”. Do đó mình quyết định mua cuốn này với hi vọng sẽ làm cho mọi người xung quanh ...đỡ sợ mình hơn . Sách liệt kê hơi dài dòng nhưng tóm lại chỉ là một vài ý chính mà thôi 1. Luôn cười thật tươi  (Tự đánh giá : 9/10) : Mình lúc nào mà chả cười 2. Quan tâm đến bạn bè một cách chân thành (Tự đánh giá: 5/10) : Hichic, cái này thì tệ quá 3. Nhớ tên bạn bè (5/10) : Còn tệ hơn nữa. Nhiều lúc vẫn còn nhầm lẫn tên bạn bè trong lớp  4. Lắng nghe...

The World Is Flat : Vision for the Future

It took me nearly a month to finish reading "The World Is Flat - a brief history of the 21th century". This is one of the best books I've ever seen. Not only because it has changed my mind, but also broaden my vision for the future .The most useful thing I gain from the book is the anwser for the question: How to join the flatting world? In general, it's also the way for Vietnam to catch up with other developing countries. The answer includes three steps:1. Good infrastructure2. Good training3. Good managementPerhaps it's too difficult to understand. A real example is How to establish a good company? First the company should have a good Internet and phone connection for the employees to exchange information. Second, the employee can only work...
