My Blog : A Strange Story of a Broom Last Saturday, I wanted to buy a broom (more precisely a broom head) for my apartment. I started with the store Gifi in my neigborhood, but I found the price of 10 euros a bit too steep. I then went to the supermarket Franprix and bought […]

Mon Blog: Focus on the Good Things in Life
Last week, I had lunch with a friend at a restaurant in France. She asked the waiter for a pizza. Unfortunately, it was not available. Then, the waiter said to her immediately without much patience, “So and what then?”. She finally ordered the same dish as mine (grilled sea bream with Pesto sauce). Afterwards, she […]
Prepare children to face the world
First of all, in my opinion, we should pass on courage and confidence to children for them to battle against the difficulties in life. We should also explain to them that facing difficulties is inevitable in life. It is important that we reveal this truth to them gradually. After all, the most important goal is […]
My Blog: The Language and its Culture
Gradually, I have recognized an interesting relationship between the French language and its culture. I have noticed that the culture, to a certain extent, reflects its language (or the other way around). From my point of view, the American culture is more direct and transparent while that of the French is more subtle and complicated. […]
My Blog : A Bigger Problem
A friend of mine often gets anxious and upset due to the problems occurred in his daily life. In my opinion, having a problem is not necessarily a “real” problem in itself if we can find a solution. To start, don’t panic. It is better to stay calm and level-headed. Then estimate the time needed […]

Recently, I have watched a documentary regarding the disadvantages that students from underprivileged families faced with as compared to the peers from better-off families. Despite the differences in resources available, one key point is the ambition of a student. The presenter underscores that often time students achieve less success in life if they don’t have […]
My Blog: A lesson from the swimming pool
I go swimming on average twice a week at a swimming pool of the CMG Sports club in Paris. In the course of time, I have discovered some interesting and sometimes amusing “lessons” at the swimming pool. First of all, there is a small diverse community at the swimming pool. Even though most of the […]
My Blog : Macron and the Presidential Debate
Even though I am still a fan of the French president Marcon, I was disappointed by his performance during the second round of the presidential debate against Madam Le Pen on 20-April-2022. I found him too aggressive and arrogant during the debate. In fact, he was upset and irritated by Le Pen a few times. […]
My Blog: Patience is more than a virtue
First of all, what is patience? With patience, we accept the fact that it takes time to achieve a goal, a result or an objective. In some cases, we continue to work on it with discipline and efforts till the end. In other cases, we observe and monitor the changes of the situation instead. In […]
My Blog: Not a Matter of Age!
“You can’t turn your life upside down for an old lady (like me)!!!” Shauna (a woman in her 70’s played by Fanny Ardant whom I am a fan of) said to her lover Pierre, a man in his 40’s, in a new film “The Young Lovers” released in France last week. I replied out of […]
