Reup - Về Ông Bình Vôi

Sat, 04 May 2024 12:45:00 +0700

I am reading the book “Understanding Vietnam”. I am quite interested with poet of the past days like Le Dat and Phan Khoi. When reading the book, there is a funny poem quoted:

Human Lives, which can attain a hundred years,
Are like pots of lime
The longer the life, the more mediocrity
The longer the life, the smaller one becomes.

I don’t know what is “pots of lime” (In English translation), So i tried to find the original poem in Vietnamese. Amazed from what I found, i decided to quote & reup the full poem here for future retrospect.

10 Lessons of an MIT Education

Son Nguyen Hoang: There is no chance that I can write this article. This is a re-up from an online archive. Here is the original link:

Lesson One: You can and will work at a desk for seven hours straight, routinely. For several years, I have been teaching 18.30, differential equation, the largest mathematics course at MIT, with more than 300 students. The lectures have been good training in dealing with mass behavior. Every sentence must be perfectly enunciated, preferably twice. Examples on the board must be relevant, if not downright fascinating. Every 15 minutes or so, the lecturer is expected to come up with an interesting aside, joke, historical anecdote, or unusual application of the concept at hand. When a lecturer fails to conform to these inexorable requirements, the students will signify their displeasure by picking by their books and leaving the classroom.
