"Wearing unbranded and cheap clothes doesn't mean you are poor. Remember: you have a family to feed, not a community to impress."
_Actress Emma Watson
We can wear cheap clothes and smile. People will be impressed by your smile and they don't care what you are wearing. I practice smiling a lot, before the camera and before people. I don't know and I don't remember when smile becomes my natural habit. If you meet me in the real life, I am sure to welcome you with a warm smile. However, people who are easy to smile, are also easy to cry. I am that kind of person. That is the difference between humans and robots. I am a person and I am emotional.
From family....
I was born in Vietnam, in a family where men could do violence to a woman and their kids. And that is my family. As being a girl witnessing too much violence in the past, my desire to live far away grows up. I lied to my parents to leave home from the morning till the evening. And that was the only way for me to escape from the real situation. Do I blame my father for what he did? Of course, yes! There are sometimes, I hated him a lot and I hated my mother too. But after all, I can't change real life, I can't change my parents, I can't change my family. I don't have that choice. What I can really change is myself!
I started being a multitasks-solving person. I force myself to study, to go out, or to work. Thanks to books and people that I met in society, I train my mind to think positively and act differently. How my action is different? There are no different from anyone out there. I am a just hard-working person. I don't know whether I am intelligent or talented so that I just work and do whatever I love.
To society.....
Oh my god! That was I respond to real life. if it is not my parents, it will be society. After a video was published on Facebook or youtube, there are thousands of comments. Firstly, they come from my friends and my relatives, then my teachers at school and including people who I don't know. Of course, there were both good and bad ones. Some people might love and encourage what I am doing, others found my mistakes. Again, I am not a genius or a famous star. I treated those comments with my natural mood. I acted what I was thinking at that time. I felt either happy or disappointed. All of them is human emotion. It is complex!
Then, refusals....
I don't remember how many refusal letters I've got, but I am sure that they are a lot. I was rejected for applying for scholarships or getting jobs many times. It was difficult for me to be rejected but the more refusal letters I've got, the more lessons I've learned. And finally, I understand my strength, my weakness, and my passion. I love learning the language, I love designing, I love playing the piano, I love yoga and I love doing business. Too much right? Am I selfish? You might feel like I am in a mess and I am not able to control all of those things. They are too much!
BUT
If you want something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.
Also,
I learn how to relax and refresh myself. I allow myself to eat a cheat day at the weekend. I watch and do whatever I like on Sunday. It is fine for being lazy but only one day and that's it!
The way I control my emotion is similar to the way I control my large number of tasks. Have you ever been overwhelming? with tasks? or emotions? You can look at some of my tips below for balancing your life better. Again, I must remind you that we are human not a robot or machine. There is something naturally coming and shocking us. That is life! Up and down but interesting and funny.
Never opens over 3 tabs on your computer.
I am a super multitasking-solving person so.........
I think I don't need to write what happens after. I make a strict discipline for myself to open only 3 tabs no matter what I am doing. ONLY 3. Even when I open 4, I must decide to close one tab. Gradually, I find myself to be more concentrated on what I am doing. Finishing one task completely is better than nothing.
Exercise
I am not good at chemistry and I am not a gym expert. But spending time doing some yoga or exercises makes me feel happier. And that's it!
Talk to the children.
Talking to children is my daily work. They are like white paper, pure and fresh. Their cute faces help me relax a lot. And I love them for no reason.
Listen to music in my favorite language
I listen to Chinese songs for working, listen to children's songs for studying language, and no lyric song for studying. All is depending on emotion at that time. There is no rule for my music playlist.
My love friends, no matter who are you, girl or boy. Your future life is your today decision. Let's do everything you love, set your future goals, and dye for it!
