Many young people boldly seek new directions to overcome their own limits and reach success.
In 2018, after completing the first semester of business administration at a major university in Ho Chi Minh City, Duong Van Tinh (born in 2000) decided to drop out of school because he realized that the field was not suitable for him.
Find your own way
The young man from Dong Nai began his journey of "finding himself" through real-life experiences. He did many jobs: from serving in restaurants to babysitting, and the milestone was becoming a volunteer teacher in the Central Highlands.
Van Tinh (wearing glasses) is absorbed in social projects.
It was the period of changing living environment with long trips that helped him realize his talent in connecting society and conveying meaningful messages to serve the community. So Tinh boldly started studying again with a major in public relations. After graduating, Tinh was recruited as a communications specialist and community fundraiser at Thao Dan Social Protection Center (HCMC). He is also a member of the Executive Board of DOP Organization - a non-profit organization operating in the field of education with the mission of enhancing the capacity of the poor and disadvantaged in Vietnam; for positive changes in behavior and community awareness.
Looking back on the past journey, Tinh silently thanks himself for having the courage to seek his own true path. He is grateful for the opportunities that have led him to meet many kind people, full of ambition and noble ideals. The field he has been trained in has equipped him with the basic skills to confidently commit himself, creating connections between many groups of people, from philanthropists, sponsors, media to beneficiaries.
With expertise in communications and an understanding of social work, Tinh realized that the media space when raising funds in many places often uses images that cause pity, unintentionally lowering the dignity of the people involved. Therefore, Tinh has cherished the project of raising awareness for media groups related to the disadvantaged. "It is necessary to respect their image and enhance human dignity" - Tinh emphasized.
Change for success
At the age of 24, Nguyen Thi Diem Hang (from Ho Chi Minh City) owns a clothing brand loved by Gen Z, called "Nha Hai Dot".
Diem Hang is happy to introduce her own designed products at many events.
Hang studied logistics and supply chain management - a field that her family and friends all thought she had an advantage in developing her career. However, after a while, Hang realized that fashion was her true love. Hesitating between starting a business to pursue her passion or working in her major, Hang finally decided to pursue her studies to the end without giving up her dream. In her final year of university, she was busy completing her graduation project while working part-time to accumulate finances. Together with her close friend, Hang seriously planned a roadmap to supplement her knowledge of design, fabric materials, processing techniques as well as calculating costs and risks in the production process. "To master everything, you have to learn little by little, don't be afraid of hardship. I believe that is a challenge that needs to be overcome to find the most suitable direction for yourself" - Hang confided.
As a young person, Hang understands that choosing clothes is a way for Gen Z to express their own personality. Therefore, she is constantly looking for new and innovative creations. After 2 years of launching, Hang's brand is increasingly welcomed, impressing with its style of combining Japanese cultural characteristics with the beauty of minimalism, mixed with a bit of classicism. Not stopping at online business, Hang's products are gradually appearing at notable events.
For Hang, there is no general formula for success for everyone. Young people just need to live responsibly with their decisions. "Dare to step out of your comfort zone, dare to change will help us expand our life experience" - Hang confided.
Listen to yourself
In Vietnam, career education is increasingly concerned. Equipping knowledge and forming career orientation capacity is carried out from the general education stage. Choosing a career must be suitable to one's ability, personality, interests, self-concept, family conditions and circumstances as well as the needs of society. Young people must listen to themselves, avoid following trends or depending on the advice and orientation of others. Each stage of life has more challenges and opportunities, requiring flexibility in adaptation and reasonable choices.
