This depression - a sad story of my family

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

My uncle has just been laid off.

Although as a man I am, I couldn’t keep my tear from falling for the sad story.

His family has four gorgeous daughters, and his wife is extremely beautiful. He works for the airplane company designing stuff, his wife owns a jewelry store. He has lost his job, and his wife sells none everyday comparing with hundreds per day last year.

I, writing this blog, have to eat package noodle every day, as nobody can support me and I couldn’t support myself.

This time, the come back of 1930 Depression with the very same reason is going to submerge Americans in starvation and lead to the dispossession of its power.

Is capitalism the answer to the wealth or just a few temporary lucks that has been leading America to the former glory? I doubt.

Psychology: Passion + Logic = the foundation of success

Published by tuannguyen under Ideas Edit This

I’ve been spending for many years wondering about human mind. There is no motivation in that, it is just my nature, something that drives my life in a certain interesting direction. Today, I have consumed all the previous thoughts in the past to come up with a fact. A fine good one. The two core factors that make people suceed in this hierarchial society are one’s logic and passion. We need a logical thinking process in order to figure out a problem or to invent a new truth while a strong passion motivates us to stand up and fight for it.

Ironically, many parents have been taking kids to good schools hoping for their kids’ bright future. Schools are just a part of sucess, a big part actually. However, we should know what is in students’ mind when they are attending schools. There is a fact that, schools don’t teach us these two core elements of sucess. What schools teach us are knowledge, as I dub it “language“.

So why can knowledge be language, then? Obviously, liturature is a language where we use words to transmit our logical messages. Math and computer programing are also languages as numbers are characters used to communicate. Such more complex things are also languages in which are proven already such as “relativity theory” of Einstein or the word “New Deal” implying the whole national reforming program of Franklin Roosevelt. More interesting, martial art is also a language where fighter use the movements of the body to communicate with the oppononet to express his emotion and logic, and the winner has more prudent attack and defense strategies.

So what we use language for? To communicate is the answer. You learn languages to transmit your logical process and order with a result that people need and expect. History proved it. Edison used the language of science to invent the lamp with his amazing logic and an unlimited passion which motivated him to try hundreds of kinds of metal wires.

We go to school to study language, while logic and passion can be trained by yourselves.

Sometimes we have to use logic to learn a language, and once it is absorbed into your brain, that result becomes a term of a languge in which you are dovoting in, because we don’t have to use logic to figure that result out again.

In this way, the knowledge of language represents the level of one person in which can be seen in his title such as doctor, lawyer, professor or actor. He masters his language. However, we sometimes see sucessfull lawyers or politicians on the TV while there are still somebody find a hard time to seek for job with PhDs on their hands, that is because there is a huge gap between their logic and passion.

You (logic + passion + laguange) –> communicate –> hierarchial society
