♬ Knowing that when I was offline, you guys still take care of our English box, I just want to say that I have been so grateful for that:

Knight, Sunn So Sad, Cihce, Khinh Yên, ALICE TRẦN, Cậu Chủ Nhỏ, htfziang, hồng xinh gái, Nguyễn Ngọc Khánh Huyền, Phan Thị Anh Thư, Ah, Phạm Vĩnh Linh, Ngố Ngây Ngô, I CAN FLY, Đào Thu Hiền, Đỗ Thanh Hải, Dzịt... (and many others that I haven't named, let's comment below!) 

⚡ In the meanwhile, I have accomplished some of my plans. I reckon without the help of Hoc24 managers and organizers, and all of you, my friends, I couldn't do that.

These days, I am so glad to see we have gained a lot of new friends who have actively participated. Wish you all have fun and useful experiences here!

☕ This weekend, I am sending you an old saying that I read somewhere and was kept in my notebook:

"The beauty of a person is revealed most dearly in labor. The recognition of the world is not only intellectual, but also emotional... It goes without saying that studying cannot be a simple game consisting of pleasure alone. Studying is labor first of all."

Therefore, we should not only do what we are interested in, but also what may not be of interest to us, and we should do it for the pleasure of fulfilling one's obligations.

We are preparing ourselves for life, and in life, not all obligations are entertaining.

- Vasyl Olexandrovych Sukhomlynsky

❤ What I do want to tell you via the saying is that:

You have looked after this English box since I was away, that is, you have been independent in your studies and you have a sense of independent work without the supervision of anyone else. That is exactly what labor is and you are like hard-working and mindful bees.

I do appreciate that!

Sending you my love!
