Reading paragraph:
Create for yourself an evolving document that outlines your purpose in life. Who are you? What are your values? What do you intend to do with your time to make your one life meaningful? Excepting acts of God, it is you who determines your future. You don’t have to listen to those who say you are too old, too young, too poor, too unattractive, too uneducated or the wrong color, gender or nationality. They are not speaking of someone following the Action Principles.
When you read inspirational passages in other books, magazines or newspapers, write them down or clip them out. Put everything together in a folder or box. This will serve as your motivational reserve and will help you create a personal mission statement.
Your mission statement only has to be a few sentences or paragraphs. Refer to your mission statement periodically and don’t be afraid to change it as you grow. A mission statement will help you to establish a foundation upon which you can build your dreams and goals and from which will flow your objectives and daily to-do list.
idioms:
my neck of the woods: khu vuc cua toi, khu nha toi
worn out with toil: met do mo hoi, sweat and tears
fascinated with: bi quyen ru boi vi ai
ease off, ease the pain: bot lai, lam giam dau
make (your) acquaintance: lam quen, quen biet, lien he.
slang:
word-what?
slaughtered-bi thua the tham, tham bai
y'al- you all
grits- mon an lam bang bot (oatmeal) ngo giong nhu la chao vn
phat-pretty hot and tempting, coi vua nong bong vua de thuong
Discussion ideas:
an embarrassing moment due to culture differences, something u did which caused someone to laugh at you. Keep it clean, funny and short
