I never forget that moment I’m still  embarrassed when thinking about that although It was happened 40 years ago😂. I was 4 years old, stayed home alone while  my grandfather was going out to buy newspapers. Suddenly, I wanted to poo even I did it in the early morning as my daily routine. The restroom was in the backyard, and the door of house was still open. We lived in countryside and in the small town, so people were never closed the house doors when having someone is home. I really wanted to poop so badly, but I didn’t know how to close the door which was to big for me at that time.  Also, I worried if the door still opened when I was in the rétroom, maybe my house would be robbed.Therefore, I pooped on the floor right in the middle of the living room where people came in the house and could saw 💩clearly😂. However, I thought I was smart, so I used my favorite grandmother’s hat to cover it. After being proud of myself about good idea to protect the house, I was asleep, and I slept on the floor closing to “the hat”. Finally, my grandfather came back, and held me his hand before picking the hat up by another hand. While he was picking up the hat, I smelled badly. It was too late for me to warn him. All of my bowel fell on my grandfather pants and my body. It was dirty and stinky I have seen in my life. So now when I say I have a good idea, whole my family including  my children laugh and always think about my past😂

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Yes, it is totally right. The good result is never gotten easily. Working hard is not enough to get good results, so you need to have a patience. Day by day, step by step and little by little, you will get big results. Nothing for you is just one day, short time. Like studying foreign language, you can’t talk , speak or write well it in short time. You improve it every day by repeating,practicing, listening and speaking. After that you will be perfect. 

In my country people often says “ Có công mài sắt có ngày nên kim”. It means practise is perfect, or diligence is the mother of success. They have an example very impressive : “you can make a stone of metal like iron becoming a needle if you try to grind it everyday.” Yes, it is not one day and needs a lot of days. 

A wider meaning, in relationships aren’t built in a day too. It will be stronger and more durable after a lot of time up and down, from past to now and even in future. There are no good relationships if not have challenges, sharing, understanding day by day. On the another way this proverb can understand like “ Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested”

I’m Maymay. I came to US for my children’ education. I would like to improve English when I’m living here. Going to college and attending ESL classes are the way to help me to speak and write English better. 

I,also, love to travel. This is another way for me to learn English and get knowledge, too. I just visited Korea one week after I had spent time with my family in Saigon,Vietnam last summer. The most thing impressive me in Korea trip was Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) tour. DMZ is the “hottest” place in the world, and aslo very currios for peole. It is a buffer zone between South and North Korean for political meeting without violence. It have happened a lot of family reunions from both side. The last special meeting in there was June 30,2019 between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. I’m a type of person who doesn’t pay attention to politics, but this trip has changed my mind because I have realized politics to affect your life everyday so much. The poor people, who live in North Korea, are the victims of their government. The people, nations from all the world, specially South of Korea,  are trying to help them to get out of theirs country or have a better life. It is called politics.
