THÀNH CÖNG.

Thành công, hai chữ đáng ghi
Trong đời ao ưóc,mấy khi toại nguyền.
Thì nay,trong nhóm bạn hiền
Giảng đường Sư Phạm,bút nghiên miệt mài.
Ra trường giảng dạy hăng say
Tạo bao thế hệ tương lai đợi chờ
Mai sau đất nước được nhờ
Ơn thầy ghi nhớ bao giờ dám quên.
Hè qua,nhóm đã gặp hên
Tim ra bạn cũ hàn huyên,chẳng rời.
Dù cho vật đổi sao dời
Bạn bè thắt chặt suốt đời tình thâm.

Enfer belge ou francais

Un type meurt sur la frontière franco belge, quand il arrive au ciel, saint Pierre lui dit:
- Bon votre vie sur terre, pas terrible, quelques adultères, pas souvent à la messe, un blasphème, je ne peux pas vous faire entrer au paradis,
mais comme vous n'avez rien commis de grave, et que vous êtes mort sur la frontière, je vous laisse le choix entre l'enfer belge et l'enfer français.
- Mais saint Pierre, je ne connais ni l'un ni l'autre, pourriez vous m'en dire un peu plus ?
- Et bien l'enfer belge, on vous met dans une grande marmite pleine de purin, des petits gnomes très très vilains qui sentent mauvais mettent des bûches sous la marmite, un dragon vient allumer les bûches et vous cuisez toute la journée et le lendemain, pareil !
- Et l'enfer français ?
- Et bien l'enfer français, on vous met dans une grande marmite pleine de purin, des petits gnomes très très vilains qui sentent mauvais mettent des bûches sous la marmite, un dragon vient allumer les bûches et vous cuisez toute la journée et le lendemain, pareil !
Mais moi, si j’étais vous, je prendrais l'enfer français...
- Mais saint Pierre, c'est la même chose !
- Non, dans l'enfer français, un jour les gnomes sont en grève, un jour on n'a pas livré les bûches, un jour le dragon est en RTT, un jour il ne trouve plus la marmite, un jour on n'a pas commandé le purin !!!

240,000 dollars awarded
240,000 dollars awarded to man forced to cover Arab T-shirtNEW YORK (AFP) – An airline passenger forced to cover his T-shirt because it displayed Arabic script has been awarded 240,000 dollars in compensation, campaigners said Monday.
Raed Jarrar received the pay out on Friday from two US Transportation Security Authority officials and from JetBlue Airways following the August 2006 incident at New York's JFK Airport, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced.
"The outcome of this case is a victory for free speech and a blow to the discriminatory practice of racial profiling," said Aden Fine, a lawyer with ACLU.
Jarrar, a US resident, was apprehended as he waited to board a JetBlue flight from New York to Oakland, California, and told to remove his shirt, which had written on it in Arabic: "We will not be silent."
He was told other passengers felt uncomfortable because an Arabic-inscribed T-shirt in an airport was like "wearing a T-shirt at a bank stating, I am a robber,'" the ACLU said.
Jarrar eventually agreed to cover his shirt with another provided by JetBlue. He was allowed aboard but his seat was changed from the front to the back of the aircraft.
Last week, nine Muslims, including three children, were ordered off a domestic US flight after passengers heard what they believed were suspicious remarks about security.
Although the passengers, eight of them US citizens, were cleared by the FBI, they were reportedly still barred from the AirTran flight.
Security has been at a high level in US airports since the September 11, 2001 hijacked airliner attacks against the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
However, rights groups and representatives of the Muslim community say the security measures have led to frequent discrimination and harassment.

Rare Bugatti untouched for 50 years could fetch millions

LONDON (AFP) – A rare Bugatti supercar left to gather dust in an English garage for half a century could fetch millions when it goes under the hammer next month, a report said Thursday.
Experts believe the car -- one of just a handful ever made -- could fetch as much as six million pounds (6.2 million euros, 8.7 million dollars) when it is auctioned at the Retromobile car show and sale being organised by Bonhams in Paris in February.
Harold Carr, a surgeon, apparently abandoned the rare Bugatti in his lock-up in northeastern Newcastle after buying it in the 1950s.
When the reclusive Carr died in 2007, his nephew found the Type 57S Atalante when he cleared out the garage and was amazed to learn that just 17 of the model were ever made.
His nephew, an engineer from Newcastle who wishes to remain anonymous, told the city's Evening Chronicle newspaper: "We just can't believe it.
"It's worth so much because he hasn't used it for 50 years. It was one of the original supercars. When it was built it could reach 130 miles (210 kilometres) per hour when most cars could only do 50.
"Of course we're delighted and we're going to make sure the money is shared out among the family. It's a wonderful thing to leave."
The Bugatti 57S was originally owned by British aristocrat and racing enthusiast Earl Howe, who was the first president of the British Racing Drivers' Club.
He took delivery of the sporty two-seater Atalante in 1937 and kept the car for eight years.
After it changed hands several times, Carr bought it in 1955, and drove it for a few years before parking it in the garage in the early 1960s where it remained until his death.
James Knight, international head of Bonhams' motoring department, said: "I have known of this Bugatti for a number of years and, like a select group of others, hadn't dared divulge its whereabouts to anyone.
"It is absolutely one of the last great barn discoveries... The Atalante is incredibly original and, although she requires restoration, it is 'restoration' in the true sense of the word.
"From my perspective, save for some of the interior, all original parts can be restored or conserved in order to maintain originality."

Deeply profound thoughts by men

Two men are out ice fishing at their favorite fishing hole,
Just fishing quietly and drinking beer...
Almost silently, so as not to scare the fish,
Bob says, 'I think, I'm going to divorce my wife - she hasn't spoken to me in over 2 months.'*
Earl continues slowly sipping his beer,then thoughtfully says'You better think it over - women like that are hard to find'*

TÌNH YËU MUÔN THUỞ

Tình si thất đảo bát điên
Đứng nhìn câm lặng, nỗi niềm ai hay
Tình gần càng lúc đắm say
Mặc dù đôi lúc đắng cay muộn phiền.
Tình riêng ấp ủ một chiều
Mặc tình tưởng tượng thật nhiều riêng ta
Tình yêu thử thách lià xa
Xa nhau năm tháng hoá ra lại gần
Gần vì lại cảm thấy cần
Bên nhau quấn quit nghĩa ân vuông tròn
Tình yêu muôn kiếp vẫn còn
Vấn vương lưu luyến trong lòng nào phai
Tình yêu vạn dạng đẹp thay
Nghìn trùng xa cách ngày ngày vẫn mong,
Vẫn thương, vẫn nhớ tình nồng
Thuở còn hạnh phúc theo giòng thời gian.
Tình yêu vun sới nồng nàn
Giàu nghèo,tuổi tác chẳng màng nghĩ suy
Đường đời quyết chí cùng đi
Ung dung sánh bước sá chi đường dài
Đủ đôi, đủ cặp khoan thai
Đôi ta sát cánh yêu hoài ngàn năm.

Growing Good Corn

There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon...
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.
"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves.
So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

The Rose Within

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.
He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.
We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.
This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul.

Help others to realize they can overcome their faults.
If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.
