Victor Hugo - Demain, dès l'aube
 
Our first poem is from the French poet Victor Hugo, one of the best-known French writers. Demain, dès l'aube which means "Tomorrow, at Dawn," is a short and poignant poem about his visit to his daughter’s grave.
The poem was first released in 1856 in Hugo’s collection called Les Contemplations.

Demain, dès l'aube
Demain, dès l’aube, à l’heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m’attends.
J’irai par la forêt, j’irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.
Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.
Je ne regarderai ni l’or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j’arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.
Tomorrow, at Dawn
 
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the hour when the countryside whitens,
I will depart. You see, I know you wait for me.
I will go through the forest and over the mountains.
I cannot stay far from you any longer.
 
I will trudge on, my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Ignoring everything around me, without hearing a sound,
Alone, unknown, back stooped, hands crossed,
Saddened, and the day will be like night for me.
 
I will neither see the golden glow of the falling evening,
Nor the sails going down to Harfleur in the distance,
And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb
A bouquet of green holly and flowering heather.

Trong tháng thứ hai của khóa học y tá, vị giáo sư của chúng tôi đã ra một câu hỏi cuối cùng hết sức bất ngờ trong bài thi: “Hãy cho biết tên người phụ nữ quét dọn trường học của chúng ta”. Một câu hỏi không thuộc chuyên môn, chắc đây chỉ là một câu hỏi đùa thôi. Tôi đã nghĩ vậy!
Thật ra tôi nhìn thấy người phụ nữ đó vài lần. Cô ấy cao, tóc sẫm màu và khoảng chừng 50 tuổi. Nhưng làm sao tôi biết được tên cô chứ? Tôi đã kết thúc bài làm của mình với câu cuối cùng bỏ trống.
Cuối giờ kiểm tra, một sinh viên đã hỏi vị giáo sư rằng: “Thưa, thầy có tính điểm không ạ?”. Giáo sư trả lời: “Chắc chắn rồi – ông nói tiếp – trong cuộc sống và công việc, các em sẽ gặp rất nhiều người. Tất cả họ đều quan trọng, họ xứng đáng được nhận sự quan tâm của các em, dù chỉ là một nụ cười hay một câu chào”.
Tôi đã không bao giờ quên bài học đó trên mỗi bước đường đời của mình sau này.

How can one effectively overcome nervousness during a job interview?

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.

A lo largo de la historia siempre hay personajes que, aunque vivan fuera de la ley, se vuelven "entrañables" cuando su lucha es a favor de los "oprimidos". El Tigre de Santa Julia fue conocido por ser una especie de Robin Hood mexicano que ayudaba a los pobres.

Su nombre de pila fue José de Jesús Negrete Medina, sin embrago, nadie conoce el día de su nacimiento. Se sabe que fue en agosto de 1873, en el municipio de Cuerámaro, Guanajuato. Fue Hijo de José Guadalupe Negrete y Luisa Medina, quien murió en el parto. De niño, Jesús Negrete trabajaba en el campo.
Antes de entregarse a la vida de bandolero fue soldado. Ingresó al ejército en 1895 y llegó a ser sargento segundo del Tercer Batallón de Artillería. No obstante, no comulgó con la vida de la milicia y desertó de su puesto para irse a vivir a la capital del país.
Luego de abandonar el ejército, José de Jesús Negrete llegó a vivir a la Ciudad de México, al antiguo Barrio de Santa Julia, que hoy en día abarca la colonia Tlaxpana y parte de la colonia Anáhuac, en la alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo. Desde ese entonces, y hasta la fecha, es considerada una zona con altos índices de violencia.
En este barrio conoció a Tomás Peña, Fortín Mora, Gregorio Mariscal y Pedro Mora, quienes fueron sus "compinches" en el asalto a la Hacienda de Aragón. Sin embrago, no lograron su cometido, pues fueron capturados y encerrados después del robo. Pero Jesús Negrete logró escapar de la penitenciaría, asesinando a dos guardias. Fue este crimen lo que le valió el sobrenombre de "El Tigre de Santa Julia".
Pronto se hizo famoso, pues el atentado fue publicado en el periódico El Imparcial. Contrario a lo que podría esperarse, sus actos fueron vitoreados por algunos, pues se dice que de su "botín" siempre compartía una parte con los que menos tenían.

Celebre bandolero para unos, despiadado "salteador" para otros. El Tigre alcanzó tanta popularidad que incluso le compusieron un corrido. Y años más tarde su historia fue llevada al cine...
