happiness is being loved by the others

 What is happiness? Where can we have happiness? How is meaningful happiness? Etc. Maybe these questions are hardly to answer because happiness is something relative. It depends on how people conceive it. And maybe the conceptions of happiness are many and various. Each person has personal way to feel happy.  Some think that successful are the essential conditions of happiness; some others look for happiness in having a lot of money and good health; and others identify happiness when he has nothing to complaint about and when he is given all what he ever dreams of. But to me, the thing that makes me happy most is to be loved by the others. 

There are some following reasons why I say “to be loved” is the factor leading to happiness. Firstly, “to be loved” brings you a peace of mind and steadily moral support. This feeling is realized easily in our own family. For example, if you get any problem, they will share with you, give you advice and help you overcome. If you feel discouraged, family will encouraged you to persevere. When you are in bad mood or contrast, they always stand by you, share with you. So, you do not have to suffer sorrow by yoursefl… Hence, you will have more motivation to do anything, have a positive outlook about life because you know that you are not alone. At that time, happiness will come with you. Love of family is the most sacred thing and plays an important role in our life.

Secondly, “to be loved” also helps us create more opportunities in our job. Let’s imagine how we can get success just our own effort without other’s help. Many given evidences have proved this matter. A person with high educated, good certificate but he is selfish, place his own purpose above everything else can never make a high position… In contrast, manager will consider to person who is “to be loved” by many others. So, they can get further promotion, earn higher salary. Of course, they will feel happy because they not only enjoy with modern material facilities that life can offer but also they can support their family. Moreover, you will receive more helps in your daily life when being loved. For instance, your neighbor never deserts you when you get into trouble. They always stand by you and ready help you overcome difficult circumstances. However, in reality, some people say that “to be loved” does not make them feel happy because it is very ephemeral. Or it is not a true love which comes from at one’s heart, just for specific purpose. Sometimes, they get hurt easily from “to be loved”.  I all admit these reasons but let’s a moment to think “can you live happily without love?” and whether true love can exist and last or not depends totally on your behavior. In short, with all above mentioned things, once again, I believe that happiness is being loved by the others.

There is a common saying that “no love can last long, which is all give on one side and all take on the other side”. So if “to be loved” makes you happy, giving love to another one will make you happier. In a nutshell, happiness is made and felt by yourself. You will have meaningful life only when you live with your dream, your purpose.

unforgettable trip

Nobody can deny that we usually learn a lot after each trip. The more new places we visit the more new things we learn. As for me, I like travel because I want to enjoy the sense of freedom. Travelling helps me get rid of ties, responsibilities, and duties.  And I have travelled many places, but no place makes a good impression on me as Da Lat.  This is a reason why visiting  Da Lat becomes my unforgettable trip.

That was a day in June 2 years ago, after 8 hours from my hometown, we finally came Da Lat - the paradise of Viet Nam at the early morning. At that time, everyone seemed quite tired during the long trip. But, when the tour guide announced we were in our destination, everyone looked more radiant and ready to begin our vacation. The first feeling came to me as soon as I had a first step, a cold wind through my back. It is quite strange because I have never had this feeling. Besides, it also made me surprised by the silence and peaceful scenes in the city. The whole Da Lat seemed to be covered by the fog, it looked like a princess was sleeping deeply. This is also a point which makes this city more romantic. Finishing breakfast, we started our trip. The first place we visited was Langbiang Mountain. It’s the highest mountain in Da Lat with some ethnic groups living there. In addition, it's always covered in a thick fog that makes Langbiang become more mysterious and more attracted to visitor. Nothing was more interested than when I was at the top of the mountain  where I could see the whole of Da Lat city and breathe the freshest air. . Afterwards, we continued to visit others beautiful places such as: Love Valley, Truc Lam Pagoda, Mong Mo Hill,..In afternoon, we had lunch at the most famous restaurant here. When the waiter put the food in front of me, I can’t stand because it looks very delicious by smells of spices, full of color of vegetable and there were many strange foods that I had never eaten. Before ending the day of trip, we visited Flower Park. In there, I could see, touch, and smell many kinds of strange, vivid flower such as roses, tulips, mimosas, violet…and of course, I also took many lovely photos. People usually say that what a pity if you don’t come Night market to buy some souvenirs. So, I could not get away this chance. After shopping, I walked along Xuan Huong Lake to enjoy the romantic night of Da Lat. This feeling was so wonderful that no word could express. At that time, I could understand why Da Lat has name ”City of Love”.

Da Lat is considered a ideal place for travelling because of its weather and  its beautiful scenes. Therefore, I  am sure that you will feel great regretful if you don’t come there once for your vacation. Although just one day in there and 2 years passed away, I still remember that trip in my mind as an unforgettable memory.

The most useful invention

Through centuries, there are many inventions which has improved human's life and make life more comfortable, more convenient. One of the is television. Television is a method of communication, which ideas and experiences can be communicated faster to more people. The role of television are many and various. And watching TV has really become the most popular form of entertainment to everyone now. So, as far as I am concerned, television is the most useful invention in the 20th century.

We all know that thanks to television we can see and know what is happening halfway around the world. Besides being informed current events, we also learn about different customs and way of the people living in a place where we can know only through books or even have a little chance to visit. Especially, nowadays, television provides viewers with many kinds of program from national to international. Therefore, watching TV is also the way help us to gain knowledge. 

Besides the role of an educational tool, TV is also a simple form of entertainment to almost people at night. We just turn on, choose program and enjoy. Nothing is more interesting than watching a favorite TV program after a hard working day.At that time, all tired and stress seemed to be relieved. Furthermore, TV will be more meaningful for person who can not afford to enjoy other expensive entertainment. To above these reasons, TV become a useful invention for everyone.

In short, television is one of the most invention for human's life. It brings the entire world together through its picture and sound. But everything has its left side, and television is also too. TV itself is neither good nor bad, so we must use it for correct purpose so that it is useful for us. 

The first day at university

Although I am a third year student at University of Technical Education, I still remember the first day I came there. Some special thing, feeling happened to me and has become my unforgettable memory until now and maybe forever.

That was a day in September, according to schedule, I will have the 1st period at 12.15AM. So, at 11.45A.M, I took the bus to the university from my renting- house. When being in university, I felt quite nervous because I was just alone and was standing in totally new environment. I looked all people around me, everyone was so strange to me. My university was quite large with a lot of blocks and extremely bigger than my high school. So, when entering the gate, I did not know what the way I should go to my class was. Although I realized it was simple when I watched in the map last night. At that time, I really felt worry and confused. Maybe, I was so shy when I was a newcomer or those who were around me were all boys. Therefore, in that situation, I should have asked someone to help me. Fortunately, I met a pretty girl, she was in hurry but she also gave me direction. It could not believable, she and I were in the same class. Thus, we decided to go together. And now, she is one of my best friends. After 30 minutes, I finally came my class. It took me so long because my class was in the fifth floor. At that moment, my classmate and my teacher have already come. I found the seat quickly and thought " a terrible first day". Suddenly, the teacher came forward to me, asked me move to front of the class to introduce myself. I could not describe exactly my feeling at the time because I was about to do the thing that  I have never done before. I got in cold sweat. But I could not deny and had to obey. I tried to calm down to say what I could but I still said nothing. However, my teacher was not only a pretty woman but also very friendly. She came near me, smiled with me and helped me by asking some questions. After that, I felt more confident because I thought " I could do as well as my friends" and I spoke about myself, my hometown, my favorite,...without her help any more.

That was my first day at the university. It was both  interesting and confusing. I will keep this memory at my heart and maybe it was the happiest day during my schooldays in my life.
