I pray that you can all start looking at your issues as what they are, instead of what you wish they were. I pray you can tackle your fears and admit to yourselves that in some ways, you are scared and weak and in need of what you pretend you can live without. I pray you can find your strengths in everyday situations, in every single interaction, and in every memory you wish you could erase. I pray you become aware of your capabilities and maximize your achievements.

You will suffer greatly.

A lesson no one taught me but God.

You will be blessed abundantly.

A lesson no one taught me but God.

Patience.

A lesson no one taught me but God.

الحمدلله.

Tessa Bunney: Home Work (Vietnamese Craft Villages around Hanoi)

Project statement:

[…]Around 75% of Vietnamese people currently live in the countryside, but as Vietnam moves increasingly towards urbanisation, its agricultural workforce faces the prospect of losing its land, and its way of life. With Vietnam’s growing population also making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas. These ‘craft’ villages have become the meeting place between rural and urban, agriculture and industry.

Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
