Little things #3

9. Just for fun (Vietnamese music with English version)

I have heard many Vietnamese songs, English songs, and Vietnamese music with English lyrics.  I have noticed that Vietnamese songs with English lyrics are too much trying to focus on context. It means those songs want to transmit all of Vietnamese words and context to English. Only one sentence of a song contains so many words. It becomes discomfort and unnatural when listening to native speakers both English and Vietnamese. Obviously in Vietnamese, this song is beautiful. On the other hand, truly English songs are focus on context, rhythm, and tone (like Vietnamese songs). Example: just a little word such as I, you, all, etc. It's almost a sentence in song. I....I...I (up and down and up and down). In my point of view, each has its unique feature. It is hard to translate from this language to that language still can maintain perfect rhythm, context, and tone. Do you agree? 

10. Quick thinking

When I go to school, go to work, or hang out with my friends or something just like going out. I wondered why almost people spend  their little time when stopping at a traffic light to quick look on smartphones and surfing. I thought they were surfing on Facebook or reading the paper or something. I thought about myself. I feel people really differently think and act. I would not. I won't do something like this. I only do that whenever I have leisure time. I want my wholeheartedly devoted to surf. It sounds serious, isn't it? I want my brain to just focus on it. Maybe it will help me become more productive in playing. I think. Therefore, I hardly have a quick surf like that. Maybe their brains can be quickly analyzed or kind of.

Another quick-thinking, I also see that when a person was standing alone on the street or a public venue. Nothing special but I saw that person was staring at smartphones. Personally, I thought he or she was doing that to just hide their emotions, to try to become busy. It is a theory that they want no one to know they are alone. They fear facing at present. I believe that we should be confident. Confidence is an intangible benefit which each of us need to be aware as soon as possible.  At present, you are staying with no one. However,  it's fun in a special way and you don't need to scare of it at all. You are ready to learn something new or sort of things. We should enjoy ourselves alone sometimes leading us to be stronger than usual.  We've done a thing that can never happen when go with someone. I just wanna emphasize that it's just fit for a few situations. It's not suitable in all situations. I hope you are thinking what I am thinking. I used to travel alone. I left to gain my own experiences. It was not difficult like everyone thought. Just be confident in yourself.

11. Ready
