Journal 10: Advice

        Someone can deal his problems well by himself; advice from his friends or his families is unnecessary. The others, however, have to seek advice from many sources and their relatives. In my experience, I had some useful advice for my job and my life. My father always helps me find out solutions for my troubles when I cannot solve them by myself. For example, I remembered that how difficult to decide which university I would study. Moreover, I find it not easy to choose the fields, as business or technical. My father who has experience for working in banking advises me to apply for business school. People usually decide to study what they like rather than follow experienced profession’s advice. In contrast, I determined to trust my father. Now I believe that what I did is right. That decision in the past makes my life easier and more comfortable, a good job with high salary and a gorgeous apartment with faculties. Some of my friends who studied in technical still try to find a suitable job.

        Finding advice is as hard as giving advice. A person’s life may be affected by advice. Consequently, I rarely tell someone that you should do these things or those things and everything would be better. The best advice that I gave my younger friends is studying in the same business school which I learned in. They definitely like business and they want to find a good college to study. They hope that they would find a good job and feed not only themselves but also their families. I told them that you should study here but I just guarantee that my school is extremely great business school. Whether they will be successful in business turf or not will depend on their abilities. I graduated from this school so that is everything I can advise them.

Journal 9: American Food

        The first thing I think about American Food is hamburger. While rice is the main dish in Vietnam, hamburger is my main meal when I come to the U.S. Fairly, it is really delicious and I love it. However, it may be so fat and have a lot of calories. I even gain almost 8 pounds after 2 months here. It is unbelievable. The special thing I can see in American Food is that it is extremely large. That’s the reason why I gain weight easily. In my experience, American Food is tasty and special but it is not good for my health. You can enjoy eat it but should not consume it so much. Hamburger is considered one of several reason causes in the popular obesity in the U.S. In contrast, besides steam rice, the Vietnamese usually eat vegetable in their meal. This habit is extremely good for our health and heart. One more thing I find American Food unhealthy is that the American eats so much red meat. Conversely, the Vietnamese intends to eat more fish. Consequently, I like to cook Vietnamese Food myself and just hang out to enjoy American Food at weekend.
