There is one quote of William Arthur Ward that I find extremely meaningful “God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?”
I would love to express thanks to my friend- Ngee Key who is one of my couchsurfing friends. It’s of great luck to have him talk and share a lot of things about his own life, career and self-development. He is a well-known speaker who has been hosting a lot of seminars and workshops, especially in a plenty of universities in Hanoi now. Just surf his own website to know more about him
We learnt a lot of valuable quotes and philosophies from him such as: “Even if the situation is challenging, you have the ability to get the best out of the worst situation. Focus on possibilities, not obstacles”.
Thank you – Ngee Key for the “sparkle and spirit” you give to our group. You raised my shy and still conservative students up and gave them the true meaning of dreams. “Every successful & happy people started with a dream. Never look down on a dream. With desire, determination and passion, it becomes reality”.
Initially, I wanted my students to grasp the chance to practice and master their English speaking skill, but what I got was even more. That is the inspiration in life, the true meaning of money and how to live positively, etc. There are sometimes people coming into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there; they serve some kind of purpose, teach you a lesson or help to figure out who you are or who you want to become. You are the apple of my eyes.
And my gratefulness would be granted for my lovely students, who were so cute, a little bit conservative but willing to learn and share. I hope that one day: Yen, you will be the most renowned charming politician in the world like Mrs Hilary Clinton; Trang, you will be the clever designer who can export your products all over the world; Tuan Anh, you will be the successful boss of a book café’ in Hanoi; Hao-you will be the fascinating businesswoman; and Huyen- one of my distinctive students, I hope and believe that you will achieve whatever you desire.
And also, I would like to thank myself. I was an English Inspiration Messenger today and I will be staying in that role until my students love English as I do now.
