What has it got to do with RAIN? Does rain hurt you by any means? Tonight the sky was so clear, but why you, the RAIN, comes in this way and bring away the sky? The sky is the only place where moons can stay. Why do you, RAIN, have to take the MOON away from me? Can't you just leave me alone and let me be? Can't you just let me do anything I want, get anyway I want? Why do you have to take the moon away from me? Why? Why? Why you, destiny, have to fool human being? Why you, RAIN and Destiny, got the power and rights to do anything I want while this little Rabbit me can't even ask for this tiny request? It doesn't really matter if you the RAIN or Destiny decided to take the MOON away since the MOON doesn't even believe this rabbit's true and innermost feeling inside the bottom of the heart? Has you, MOON, ever trusted this rabbit even once, let alone claiming you did? Have you, MOON, ever understood this rabbit's heart and mind? Just what have this tiny Rabbit done to be punished like this? Do you really believe that me this little Rabbit have so many "the one I love"? Can't you just believe this rabbit a word, just a single word he said would be okay?
No one would ever bother to believe if the Rabbit is meant this way or was serious by any mean, but you're the only one he loves and why you still think he doesn't? This Rabbit sit under the moon and told you, Moon, trillion times how he love you? But what has he got in the end? The Moon was still faded away when the rain comes. Rain, Rain, you really came in the wrong time. Any other time you could come, but please, I beg you, not this time round. You can always come any time you would. I know you have the rights while I don't to command anything natural or unnatural by all means, but just this tiny request would cost you a whole life of happiness or sadness? When you, MOON, is ill or headache, not to mention about seriously ill, do you think Rabbit would just be happy? It doesn't hurt him, but his heart. When you wrong him for any matters he doesn't care, do you think he would want to be like this? When you're in happiness and success, he'd always be happy for you. Congrats! Anybody could suspect his love towards you, but you couldn't. So stop asking if he had the true feeling for you whether or not you doesn't.

Rethinking of Ambition and Dream

Better or worse, do things you are really passionate about!! after many years of being a lost student, I found my way working on what I have always wanted, managing a Rule of Law program in a very prestigious US-based organization and, above all, teaching in universities;

why I like teaching: one of my favoriate quotes, "Sharing in the only way to achieve immortality"; and, it is wonderful to see a grou of people with eyes wide open, expecting you to say something, to say some right things, to say what they need to know, and to share with them what you are capable of. You need to give them what you can so that some day, what you have given will contribute to raise their potentials. Still, I think I won't stop here. In the next 5 years, I don't know what I will be doing, who I will be with, and whatever I may become, but above all, keep your ambition high because "you never know what you are going to get unless you really try"( My another favoriate quotë).

After all, I just stole one short moment from my own long hectic day of work to write this boring piece of idea of mine, in case you decide to endure when visiting this blog.

Dear everyone,

I am very thankful for encouragement and everything, and we're really appreciate willing to help Koun Khmers, Cambodian Jessup team that you might never imagine how difficult and so many obstacles for us. 8 months has been passed, and another month to go we haven’t received any fund or any single dollar. USAID said no, and USA embassy seems not to care at all. The rest NGO has no budget for us.

I’m very tired of asking people help. Because it seems I’m the only one responsible for everything and the result I get nothing, plus the rest team members are just 24h prepare their part for the competition while I have extremely pressure at work, home and school. So I couldn’t do my part for the competition well which I feel very bad for myself so I usually I wish I could just give up but my team will not gonna let me go.

We have been through so much, and I don’t want to see some of us cannot make it in D.C., so I have tried so much from every person I know but it still doesn’t work out for us. What a pity team is! Our professor advisor suggests the boys selling their motorbikes, but … hmmm…
At 6 days a week, we meet and discuss how to improve our argument. We do an oral argument with our coached 2 days a weeks. i must say it very very very and extremely pressure to us.

February 19, Sonita (team member) and I are going to join a meeting with a rector of RULE and Education Ministry to give a short presentation about Jessup and why should they support us. Hopefully, at least they let us go or not crash down our plan or anything. The Jessup Community would give us a Hotel Scholarship but we need a signature of Rector but Rector could not give it unless the Education Ministry approves us first. What a complicated system. If we’re lucky enough, they might help us some money too.

On Monday, we will be interviewed at USA Embassy. And I think 89% we will get visa, but who knows the embassy in bad mood we will die all.If anyone or any community would like to help us, please just let me know. I will send you my bank account number so u could transfer to me. I will write a clarify letter that Cambodia Jessup receive funding from you.Just say good luck to Cambodia Jessup team and best of luck to me.

Career and Job

Ever ask yourself who you will may become and what you will do in the next 5, 10, 15 years or the rest of your life? Politician, public certified accountant, manager of a bank, professor, lawyer, doctor, soccer player, engineer, or hotel manager? Or you don’t want to care that much and just be a better-paid job hunter? Either way, it is a job-or-career decision and requires planning.

People want jobs because they want to make a living, maybe a good one. However, career is not defined by how much you earn (many people can make a lot of money from a particular job, yet they still look for a different one) but it is measured by your desire to spend some part or the rest of your life doing it. You want to be so specialized in something and proudly say as your expertise and claim as your profession.

You can also change your career path as well. Sometimes after working for a while, you realize you like something else or maybe it does not fit your personality, lifestyle, situation, financial condition, family factor, and you might consider changing it. I remember a guy who was a doctor for 20 years. One day he decided that he wanted a different profession, a lawyer. So he went to law school at his 50s. And you know what, he was my classmate. In the US, it took 3 years to finish law school and some more for bar exams, but he did not care. “I want to be a lawyer” gut allowed him to concentrate what he was going to do in another half of his life or so with a different career without looking back his past 20 years with those syringes and needles.

In life, it is better to have plans and doesn’t matter if you have to change them from time to time. What is really important is that you know what you doing and what direction you want to lead it.

After school, you think more about getting a job, but try for the one you love so that you can build your career on it! Don’t always find a new job in one or two years because you are not a backpacker!!

A lot of people have jobs, but do they have career? I got a job, but I am still in pursuit of my career.

Law of one price

"In an efficient market all identical goods must have only one price."

1. financial markets are perfectly liquid, transparent, and free, with no controls, taxes, or transaction costs, etc;
2. goods markets are perfect, with international shipment of goods able to take place freely, instantaneously and without cost;
3. there is a single consumption good common to everyone; or
4. the same commodities appear in the same proportions in each country’s consumption basket
