"People would start a job when they were 18, 19 or 20 and stay in that same career for life. Their career path was quite straightforward. Nowadays, it is normal for people to change careers, five, six, seven times. I’ve had four different careers now. I like moving from one job to another. It means life never gets boring. It’s much better to keep learning different things in different careers. I have no idea what career I’ll choose next. Perhaps one that doesn’t even exists today."2) Bài thu 2
The airport is your first stop before leaving on your dream vacation or trip. Generally speaking, you should arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare. Don’t arrive 10 minutes before your plane departs.You can park your car in long-term parking if you are planning to be away for a few days, or you can ask someone to drop you off in the loading zone right in front of the airport terminal. In some cases, you can check your bags there at curbside, or you might have to go to the check-in counter inside the airport.
Many airports now allow you to check in at a computer kiosk, but you will still need to check your bags if you have any. Once you are checked in, you will have to pass through security where they will check your ID and your carry-on bags. You will also need to walk through a metal detector, which will check for illegal items. After you pass through security, you can walk to the gate where you can wait to board your flight. Just wait until they call your section to board. They usually seat first-class passengers and those who need assistance first. Enjoy your flight

In Vietnam, people live in both the city and the country. The most populated cities in Vietnam are Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. To get around in these busy cities, many people ride motorbikes. The streets can be very small and crowded, so motorbikes are the best option for traveling. Many streets also have food carts, which often serve famous Vietnamese dishes like pho soup and banh mi sandwiches.In the country, there is a lot of open space. The climate in Vietnam is warm and wet, which is great for growing rice. With the open space and the warm climate, rice farming is a large part of country life. Many people grow and harvest rice to make money. The non la, or rice hats, are often worn by farmers to protect their heads from the sun. Because so many farmers wear non la, they have become a symbol of Vietnam.4) Bài thu 4
It is not your circumstance that defines your future. It's your attitude. It's your commitment. You decide how high you set your goals. You decide how hard you're going to work for those goals. You decide how you're going to respond when something doesn't go your way. That means first and foremost believing in yourselves no matter what obstacles you face.5) Bài thu 5
Education is one of the most important things in our lives. It can make the difference between success and failure. An education can bring us knowledge and make us rich. Children start learning from a very young age. They can further their education and go to higher education or university. Perhaps schools need to find better ways to teach so children want to learn. It’s sad that in many parts of the world, children want to learn but can’t. Make sure you never stop learning. Education is the key to a better future.6) Bài thu 6
"It’s hard to believe that no one had computers a few years ago. I wonder how people lived. There must have been a lot of paperwork. I can’t imagine writing everything by hand. I also wonder how everything worked without computers. We need computers today for everything. Hospitals, airports, the police… nothing can work without computers. I’m sure I’d be ten times busier than now if I didn’t have a computer. Imagine having to find a piece of paper and an envelope and then walking down the street to mail a letter! I love my computer. It makes everything in my life so convenient. Sure, it freezes and crashes sometimes. Sure I lose some data. But that’s not often. Most of the time my computer is like my best friend."7) Bài thu 7
"One day, a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking up starfish and throwing into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked: “Excuse me… but… What are you doing?”. The boy replied: “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The sun is rising and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” The man laughed himself and said: “But there is too many starfish on this beach. You can’t possibly make a difference. After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, then turning to the man, he said: “I made a difference to that one.”8) Bài thu 8
"Thank you for such a wonderful introduction. Great, I'm here today to talk about motivation and I've learned in my few years on this earth that motivation is really the key to effecting change in anything that you do. You can put a paper that was written without any motivation without any effort and you can put a paper that was written with drive and passion next to each other. And it's clear which one is the winner. Motivation is the underlying factor I believe in everything that we do on a daily basis. If you don't have motivation in something that you do then you you really can't achieve what it is that you want to achieve. Everyone has motivation for things that they're passionate about things that interest you things that inspire you and of course you'll have motivation if you play a sport if you're in drama if you're in band you'll have motivation to accomplish that task. But the true test of a finding motivation is if you can find it in something that doesn't interest you. "

I am the ocean, I'm water, I'm most of this planet, I shaped it. Every stream, every cloud, and every rain drop, it all come back to me.
One way or another, every living thing here needs me. I'm the source, I'm what they crawled out of. Human? They're no different, I don't owe them a thing. I give - they take, but I can always take back. That's just the way it's always been, It's not their planet anyway. Never was, never will be. But human, they take more than their share. They poison me, then they expect me to feed them, well it doesn't that way. If humans want to exist in nature and off of me, I suggest they listen close, I'm only going to say this once. If nature isn't kept healthy, human won't survive, simple as that.
May I could give a damn, with or without humans. I'm the ocean, I covered this entire planet once, and I can cover it again. That's all I have to say

Today, I want to focus on the children in the room, every little girl, living inside each of the amazing women here. What I just read to you, or actually what I was, whatever reciting to you were the lyrics from my song close my eyes that I wrote for my album Butterfly.
Shortly after it was released, I received a letter from a fan, a young girl in Germany who shared that she had been abused by her stepfather and that closed my eyes, helped her get through the trauma. Her letter touched me because I wrote that song from a very real place. I wrote it and many other songs to work through my own trauma. I wrote that song for all the children who saw things they shouldn’t see, who were forced to grow up too soon.

"Strength is the word we heard a lot this year. Strength of the American people. Strength of the American worker. Strength of the American family.
We ’ve seen GRIT, DETERMINATION, OPTIMISM, HOPE.
We took the virus head on. And now we ’re heading back to a normal life. The second shifts, the dance lessons, and Friday night football. But someone to tear us down, they don’t believe in America's promise. Their idea will kill jobs and drag down our economy. We ’ll never give up on America. Not now not ever.
Because now is the time to renew our fate, restore our safety, rebuild our economy to keep winning. We’ve face our toughest challenge and we are overcoming just like we always do. Because we believe in America."
