1 I admire the President of the United States: 

Barack Obama. He is a great leader,

tolerant of others and respect all people. He believes in equality and he is always
thinking of new and easy steps to improve people's life. He is a very calm individual and
shows great passion in every decisions that he makes.

2 The most important qualities of a good leader include integrity, accountability,

empathy, humility, resilience, vision, influence, and positivity

4 For decades, people have been trying to figure out whether great leaders are born with innate
leadership skills or if you can develop people into leaders. Recent scientific studies suggest that
leadership is 30% genetic and 70% learned. These findings propose that leaders are made not
born. The ability to train leaders is excellent news for organizations. You don’t need
to wait around for someone with natural leadership skills to arrive—you can start
training great leaders today.

5 First-born children are 30 per cent more likely to become leaders. They are 'more
emotionally stable, persistent, socially outgoing, willing to assume responsibility, and
able to take initiative than later-borns', Firstborns tend to possess psychological
characteristics related to leadership, including responsibility, creativity, obedience
and dominance. They are also more likely to have higher academic abilities and levels
of intelligence than their younger siblings.

6 The main difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people
follow them while managers have people who work for them. A successful business
owner needs to be both a strong leader and manager to get their team on board to
follow them towards their vision of success. A leader takes charge, is influential, and
sets an example. The manager has responsibilities and is able to delegate and
implement plans. A leader is an example for others and is someone who doesn't
necessarily have a large responsibility. Managers have subordinates who follow their
rules.

In western cultures, people track time by following the solar calendar, but in Vietnam,
people mainly use a lunar calendar. As Vietnam became opened to the tourism industry
and international businesses, more people started to use the solar calendar as the main
thing to track the time when it comes to business. However, in the family and personal
lives, Vietnamese people still count time by the lunar calendar. Their biggest holiday, Tet
holiday or New Year is celebrated in early February, but they also celebrate a normal
New Year following a solar calendar.

Culture is the lifeblood of a vibrant society, expressed in the many ways we tell our stories,
celebrate, remember the past, entertain ourselves, and imagine the future.
Culture is a reflection of a community or nation. This makes culture a vital and
important determining factor of how the community reacts, responds, and grows.
Culture plays a major role in the lives of everyone in the society. Culture gives you a
sense of belonging, especially when everyone speaks the same language. Language
evolves with the culture as an intimate product of the way those within the society
communicate.

The culture of Ho Chi Minh City is shaped more by the West than anywhere else in Vietnam.
Especially because the Americans have been sitting here for a long time. Not only during the
war, but also before trading. For this reason you may have a less old image of the city, but the
feeling you get here is unique. Also because the city is the economic center of the country,
people from all over have come here. It is actually one big mix of Asian and Western cultures.
The buildings also show this; from museums about the Vietnam War to tall skyscrapers, from
French colonial buildings to the hippest nightclubs in the country and from ancient Chinese
temples to large shopping centers.
The best way to explore Ho Chi Minh City is on the back of the motor. You feel like a real local.
A guide will drive you through the busy streets full of other motorbikes and scooters to famous
and unknown sights. A very nice variation is a food tour with the motorcycle. Your guide will
take you to the back of the bike to various street tents and local restaurants in the city, where you
can try the great Vietnamese food.

Food is an important part of Vietnamese culture. Vietnam’s rivers, paddies, mountains and seas
are deeply ingrained in the culture. Because of this, it’s rude to leave food uneaten, especially
when you’re in someone’s home and they’ve cooked for you. It’s an insult to the land and the
workers who made the meal possible. Try not to take more than you can eat and be sure to give
out many compliments.
