This document discusses the importance of having a will. It notes that many people, especially younger adults and Baby Boomers, do not have a will. Not having a will puts one's family and assets at risk. The two primary motivations for creating a will are one's family, especially minor children, and one's assets. A will ensures one's wishes are followed regarding who raises minor children and inherits assets if they die. It also discusses other estate planning tools like power of attorney and living trusts that everyone should consider at some point in their lives.
The document provides rules and context for a quiz competition. It states that each team will have 2 minutes to answer each question, with 30 seconds if the question is passed.

1. SỨC MẠNH CỦA LỜI NÓI
Một bầy ếch đi dạo trong rừng và có hai con bị rơi xuống một cái
hố sâu. Tất cả các con ếch còn lại trong bầy đều bu quanh miệng
hố để kéo chúng lên. Nhưng khi thấy cái hố quá sâu, cả bầy liền
nói với hai con ếch rằng chúng chỉ còn nước chết mà thôi.
Hai con ếch bỏ ngoài tai những lời bình luận đó và cố hết sức
nhảy lên khỏi hố. Những con ếch kia lại nói với chúng đừng nên
phí sức, rằng chúng chỉ còn nước chết.
Sau cùng, một con ếch phía dưới nghe theo những gì cả bầy đã nói,
nó bỏ cuộc và ngã lăn ra chết trong sự tuyệt vọng. Con ếch còn lại
tiếp tục cố gắng nhảy. Một lần nữa cả bầy xúm lại và thét lên
khuyên nó hãy thôi. Nó càng nhảy mạnh hơn nữa. Cuối cùng nó
nhảy được lên bờ. Cả bầy vây quanh và hỏi nó: "Anh không nghe
tụi tôi nói gì hay sao?". Thì ra con ếch này bị nặng tai. Nó tưởng cả
bầy ếch đã động viên nó suốt khoảng thời gian vừa qua.
Có một sức mạnh sống và chết nơi miệng lưỡi chúng ta. Một lời
động viên khích lệ cho một người đang bế tắc có thể vực người ấy
dậy và giúp anh ta vượt qua khó khăn. Nhưng cũng lời nói có thể
giết chết một người trong cơn tuyệt vọng. Do đó, hãy cẩn thận với
những gì chúng ta nói ra. Bất kỳ người nào cũng có thể nói những
lời hủy diệt để cướp đi tinh thần của những người đang ở trong
hoàn cảnh khốn khó. Quý báu thay là những ai dành thì giờ để
động viên và khích lệ người khác.
