At some point ... we have spent his youth spent in a reasonable manner , though details of a living being pressed rice money grab ...
4.2014 month , I went to Tay Ninh . The afternoon sitting in a coffee shop , talking to a 17 year old boy . My house in Ben Cau district . Stay out of school , they go to work to keep the car at a cafe , a month for 2 million , the bartender how rice.
I sat like that from 7 am to 11 pm , with a longer , have alternately to rest a little in the low hours . Every day they earn about 70,000 . You are not the first young person I encountered youngest sell their time to earn enough money to take care of two meals and helping a particular family in everyday life .
In Saigon was no different . Tens of thousands of boys , girls, 13 -15 years old , young, beautiful , remain cruising into town , do a something like keeping the car , the car sits ticket items , fruit sitting , standing milk shelves , sit out on the mark ... the job agency that has the advantages of : bringing pieces of food - which is extremely tough and difficult for rural children , born into poor families and no job . She said to me : "I'm lucky enough to have work, but your child sit all day cafe , not jobs , debt money ... coffee " .
The story said that as a joke . It is a good news because finally the young people in rural areas may also find something to do , earn some money for daily meals , and they do not commit crimes too horrible for ... free . Think so for optimism , because there so many young people out there loitering outside the restaurant game , unemployment thieves , preying family.
But what is their future , if the most precious years , they just sit to make money . They sat out 8 hours , 12 hours and then went home , fell on the makeshift mat of a dorm room , sleeping passed out , then woke up the next morning , sitting next days and months salary each month in order . They do not progress at all in the profession , or more little expertise , because the major professional just sitting , looking , standing , walking, asking , advanced vehicles .
That's the honest profession . But it is the youth exchange and selling time for money living , where the bosses look at you , see you 18 -20 years old , young healthy , beautiful , maybe not every hand driven car , standing long not tired feet , and beautiful for visitors to look for beautiful ( like a vase of flowers ) . It pays to buy youth and your days , 24 hours for $ 100,000 . Super low price !
I know a teacher , he was very good at English . When you follow a program of research to the US , we chatted . He said that he was 14 years old, for families in distress , his father sent to prison , his mother from civil servants to the market to earn money for every 4 children. He " grew " should have followed their mother to the market to keep the car , leave school early. Every day he tore a page in the English dictionary that he bought the cheaper used books in a row , tow in person , then the parking
End of the day, whether or not driven the car driving to the car , crowded or not crowded , he decided to memorize the words in it , written with a pen on notebook haphazard carry. Dictionary with time, he also belongs to more words, more sentences , plus a few books to learn to write , he taught himself English and still going to keep the car , you earn extra adoptive mother . Dropping him to the airport , I could not believe man mature and successful before my eyes every 14 years , the car kept going , running the market and learn a language fluently .
When you see the eyes of a child- sitting job , job killing time currency exchange , I think of him , think of all the Japanese people I 've ever met , take a 20 minute ride home and flipped a book , as read a few pages . Every day people go to read Japanese civil servants 3 pages , 30 days is 30 pages and 90 pages of the dictionary . The so- brief time , bored and consuming that you are required to take place in exchange for food , money to live on , in fact, can also take advantage of in a different way
You can read a book in 3 months , maybe slower students to sit all day in the library . You can learn all the topics in the book 4 months , slower than a person with specialized and are parents to pay for school. But such delays , you are spending a short moment in a useful way , instead of sitting looking bored living in the building , sitting bored tobacco cultivation shelves , fed up waiting for guests to the car , bored open the online comedy clip for each view, not even smiling , watching sex stories ( read going home to sleep ) , check Facebook , phone chatting , expensive watch online cheap without always going to buy it.
Long , on the radio I heard , he has told the story a farm equipment manufacturing plant . People ask me why do officials said paperwork processing machines for the farmers , but the actual mechanism seems so. He said , everyday I go to work , the car companies are required to sit for an hour to get to the city to work . I sat there for an hour reading, drawing templates , then somewhere the trial manufacture , finally out .
So when a few dozen other people on the bus company he was sleeping , are chatting , listening to music , are defamatory colleagues , he read books . With a year to go to work , he had food , had " surplus " is 200-300 hours of reading , which is equivalent to 8-12 days 24 hours continuous reading . Tangle knowledge of his playing seemed servants , dictionary pages seemed torn out of his players master , has assembled a very different future of people - young and abundance when we time to waste .
Now even a hundred times easier than before . The teacher I had a lot of work to tear the paper , his servants to carry the book in . Do now , everyone has the phone to listen to music , play Facebook , watch movies , watch comedy clips . Several phone so it can see numerous kinds of books in the world , opens itself is seen looking at things to read .
Imagine that view , when you were 18 -20 years old , who are willing to hire you to sit , to protect the waitress , as staff welcome guests ... so young , beautiful, bright smile , health , stature . Until you are 40 years of age , beauty brutal , bad health , body fatness , and you still do not know what to do but to sell his time to ... sit , if there is not someone
I must know something well , there must be a " professional " something , although tiny and simple , must have the knowledge for themselves , more or less . In a speech I heard , she told her speaker extremely surprised at the change of Chinese workers , in her survey of industrial area , there are English classes 2-3 am, teaching follow any song that has workers need to learn . And now wage for Chinese workers and the cheapest of all because they take too that .
Well do not sit bewildered himself submerged time again .... only in exchange for meager few million for a living every day .
Well do not sit bewildered himself submerged time again .... only in exchange for meager few million for a living every day .
Wish you workday successful weekend ! ...
