[English Speaking Zone] Dreams don't work unless you do - WINTY'S HOUSE

Hay algunas cosas extrañas sucediendo. Todavía estoy investigando qué podría haber causado que el profesor tomara esta decisión. ¿Un estudiante acaba de llegar a Alemania hace unos meses? Eso es extraño…!

Hey @Catherine . Did you know that Iris is also proficient in six languages like Ms. Karol? It’s not a coincidence. I’m guessing that’s why.

What?! Lol.

Mhm… I’ve never heard either Professor or Ms. Karol talk about this. Even when Iris spends hours in the library, I only see her absorbed in German-authored novels.

@Martin_Hwang How do you know that?!

Iris told me that at Ms. Karol’s house, only two people can communicate with each other in six languages. I’m sure that those people aren’t Rebecca, because I know her.

So, you had already met Rebecca before the professor introduced her to Iris, right? I find it strange too, because it was around that time when you invited her to dinner.

@Vo_HaThanh I don’t see how that has anything to do with it. The fact that I waited for her at the library with @DuongMinhNgoc there just proves that it wasn’t planned or anything. I just wanted to see Iris. That’s all!

Come on, don’t drag me into…! I only feel uncomfortable when guys come to the library and don’t read books. They’re just there to stare at a girl! That’s really inappropriate behavior for someone in my position.

Thanks @Martin_Hwang . But that is not a mystery. I knew that when I checked Iris’ admissions file. I am sure her path will be different from ours. We will just have to wait and see.

Did you use your inheritance power to do that? :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s not like that. Because she is the daughter of the headmaster.

My dear friend, I respect your opinion. However, may be we should not be so serious like this.
I don’t know every poems. But in my eyes, poem is an art of language. Some arts we like. Some arts we do not like. It’s an individual favorite/thinking.

And you know, some poems are really not too bad or impraticial. I’d like to share with you one about meditation. That is not impraticial, but that is very difficult to pratice with me.

Chén trà nâng hai tay
Chánh niệm dâng tròn đầy
Thân và Tâm an trú
Bây giờ và ở đây.
(A poem in vietnamese of thầy Thích Nhất Hạnh)

About the german poem that our friend gave to Ms.Karol in talking with Ms.Catherine. The way is not cool in anyway, honestly. And, he don’t know many things about her. Who doesn’t make a mistake? Sometimes, what we can learn from the mistakes are more important.

At the end, I finish in sharing with you a vietnamese proverb:
Cẩn thận/Khiêm tốn bao nhiêu cũng chưa đủ,
Tự tin quá chút đã là thừa.
(ST)

How beautiful if we can be tolerant and humble with our friends. Do you agree?
Best and respect.:blush:

Ps: sorry for my too long writing.

Hello @ABC456 ,

It’s okay. They may have looked back at his article history and seen things that were not appropriate, along with the poems sent. In the topic of “Nguyện Vọng nhỏ bé” there was an argument once with other women. So the issue does not lie in the poems.

There is a truth that Lady Bear always encourages young people to express their individual opinions openly. That will help them recognize their mistakes and correct them more quickly.

However, they are still learning a lot. “Do not judge a person based on just one sentence, look at their actions.”

I hope you can overlook the generation gap in that way.

Karol.

I agree with you. It’s normal for people to feel irritated by things that keep happening over and over again. The value of works of art doesn’t change. It’s still human-made.

It’s interesting to see their honest opinions. However, I appreciate that they know when to stop. They don’t let their personal opinions offend others.

I was involved in the argument that Ms. Karol mentioned, and I didn’t see any sincere apologies from him afterwards. I think they’ve been too kind to him lately.

I understand how you feel. We shouldn’t bring up the past anymore. Let’s meet for coffee in Saigon at the end of the week instead. That would be better :smile:

Hi Karol,

Actually, I look at the generation gap like a value to learn from a difference, but not like a distance. And I learn from the differences through out the exchanges, but not judge. By the way, I’m still young, in the age of 30s. Vẫn trẻ mà.

I agree with the objective of Hu Tieu Ngon, coz I was in “Nguyện Vọng nhỏ bé” too. However, there are different way. That’s why I exchanged with him in sharing vietnamese cultures.
And she’s right. Peoples should be encouraged to express their individual opinions openly to learn and to improve themselves. So do I need.

Thanks for your advices and have nice day!

Hello Mr. Tuyen,

I don’t dislike Karl Marx. That’s just my opinion of him. If you did some research into his personal life, I’m sure you would have a different perspective on some of the things you’ve heard in the past.

I’m not comfortable answering your question because I feel like you’re being vague in your article. I apologize.

Compliments aren’t always the best way to show respect to someone. For women, your actions will speak louder than words. If I’m not mistaken, you’re currently unattached. Maybe it’s time to try something new.
