Youth is the most beautiful time in every person's life. Youth is beautiful, not because it's all rosy, nor because it's too peaceful. Youth, is the moment when many changes will happen, when we step out of the protection of our family, splash on the endless beach, facing the vast ocean ahead? Youth is when we have to get used to being "alone", more impulsive, and stumble more.
It is youth that gives us the wishes, desires, and enthusiasm to prove ourselves and assert our independence, but are we enthusiastic enough and passionate enough to do this? Jump into the sea, face the big waves, or just stay in your room, surf the web, play games, sleep, wait for coffee time, chat with friends...?
Young Vietnamese people are not inferior to their friends from all over the world with the intelligence, diligence and diligence inherent in a young country. We grow up with the desires of our parents, with the qualities and harsh training of education. In theory, we are good, with the lessons taught by heart. We study, with a great mission, to continue our ancestors' generation and build the country. We grow up continuing the unfinished dreams of our parents and grandparents, but do we feel anything, and what do we dream of?
I used to admire young foreigners when they dared to take risks and do things that would be considered extremely "crazy" if done in Vietnam.
I have a friend who owned an expensive car when he was in 10th grade, bought with the money he made, even though he was the only child of the owner of the most famous restaurant chain in town. He told me that he didn't want to prove himself to his family or friends, nor because he loved money. Every day after school, he sweated and worked as a waiter at his family's restaurant. dark since he was 10 years old, but because he wanted to buy the car he loved.
My second best friend has been a race car driver since he was in middle school. He is so passionate about racing that he participates in races himself to earn money, assembling and equipping his own racing car with the necessary equipment. expensive toy. I was really jealous when he introduced the history of that race car. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also shimmering with his burning passion.
When I was lucky enough to be the jury of an event displaying children's physical creations at an elementary school in the area, I was even more surprised. How can children under 10 years old create such wonderful products? It's not that the children's parents are genius physicists, it's just that the children have the passion and determination to create them themselves.
Not only that, since they were still in elementary school, they have been practicing their skills through community fundraising events from the clubs they belong to. It would be a mistake to think that children are too young and have difficulty convincing others to buy souvenirs, boxes of cookies, etc., a task that even young people can hardly do. However, if you know the story of a girl scout who, at just 12 years old, sold more than 20,000 boxes of cookies in less than 2 months, you will not be surprised. The 6th grader's secret to success is something we should all learn. Katie went door-to-door selling cookies as soon as she finished school until 9:30 p.m. On weekends, she spends about 12 - 13 hours/day selling. The girl repeated that action over and over again, every day. Katie has proven one thing: with love for the product and endless dedication and determination, nothing is impossible.
Come on, Vietnamese boys and girls, who do not lack passion, enthusiasm, and noble dreams, where are you?
During your youth, especially during your student life, what changes have you had? Is the vast ocean in front of you a brilliant blue or drab gray? You sometimes compare yourself to others, that's inevitable. There are people who grow up thanks to the training and training they received while they were students, and many others, on the contrary, get bogged down and completely lose their childhood qualities, skills and fighting will. . Young people must have often dreamed and pursued fame and wealth, working in multinational corporations with a salary of thousands of dollars per month. Does your profile have what it takes to achieve those dreams? Are you confident enough about your assets to pursue your passion?
Why not? However, don't blindly pursue success and wealth. The common point of great men and famous leaders in Vietnam and around the world is that they recognized the hidden assets they possessed from a very early age. They were skillful and passionate to activate them, create their own core values, and develop with full effort to achieve their current successes.
So young people, answer me, what is your dream, are you really rich, with the definition of rich here not just about money?
