My husband sacrificed a lot.

When you can't talk anymore, stop leading.

- After more than 10 years as a program host, how is Mai Ngoc now different from when she was just starting out?

It is knowledge and experience. Every day at work, being exposed to the flow of news helps me update a lot of information, gain more knowledge in many fields.

BTV Mai Ngoc is affectionately called the beauty queen of VTV by the beloved audience.

- What do you think you have gained and lost after 10 years of working in journalism and television?

I got to know many special people, valuable stories in life, but also traded a lot of time with family and relatives.

This is not just my story, but anyone who chooses this profession has to go through it. This is a job that has no weekends or holidays because we are still on air, constantly updating the news to the audience.

- Who taught you, gave you confidence and motivation to pursue this career?

I was lucky to meet two sisters in charge of the two news bulletins Weather and Vietnam Today that I have participated in producing and hosting for the past 10 years.

Both of them are long-time editors of VTV, having worked in various positions before becoming a production manager. They understand the difficulties of newcomers to the profession, or those times when they have not yet found their identity after a long period of working. Without them and their advice, I would not be where I am today.

The female editor chooses to exercise and live optimistically every day to relieve stress and pressure from work.

- What are Mai Ngoc's pressures and difficulties that the audience doesn't know?

Life is about constantly challenging yourself and setting goals at each stage. If one day you wake up without feeling pressured and challenged, you are probably retired.

- Has Mai Ngoc ever wanted to stop because she has a side business and a husband as a strong supporter?

Before answering, let me tell you a short story. When I was 3 years old, I still couldn’t speak. My mother said that the neighbors said I must be mute because I couldn’t speak yet. My mother was worried and took me to see a doctor, but the doctor concluded that I was completely normal, just didn’t want to speak yet.

One morning when I woke up at the age of 3 and a half, I said my first sentence: “Mommy! I want to drink milk”. My mother said that at that time, I said a complete sentence even though I had never spoken before. From that day on, except when I was sleeping, I talked so much that everyone had a headache. For me, being a TV host has become a job that I will probably quit when I can no longer speak.

For Mai Ngoc, every day at work is a happy day.

- In more than 10 years of working, what incident can you not forget?

Being a careful, somewhat strict and perfectionist person, I always prepare for any situation that may arise on live broadcast. So far, fortunately, there have been no incidents worth mentioning. I also hope that will not happen in the future.

Husband has to sacrifice a lot

- It seems like you overcome stress, difficulties, and busyness thanks to an optimistic spirit?

I always keep in mind: "Live today as if it were your last day". Therefore, every difficulty is just for us to stand up and overcome.

Of course, everyone will have days when they are tired, stressed, and want to pass quickly. Instead of having a headache, I choose to exercise and meet friends. Positive people will help us see things from a new perspective. So, who knows, maybe today's difficulties are the motivation for tomorrow?

Mai Ngoc has more than 10 years of experience in journalism and television.

- Many young people like it but not everyone perseveres with it. What advice do you have for them?

No job is easy, television is even more harsh as it always requires precision, innovation but does not deviate from certain standards. Therefore, you have to be diligent, patient, constantly learn and accept challenges every day to be able to pursue it, just like any other job.

- Being known as the beauty queen of VTV and having a position in your career, what is your secret?

I'm over 30, things can't be the same as when I was 23. However, standards also change accordingly. At this age, I only set the criteria to be the most beautiful at my age.

Exercising, eating healthy and most of all, living an age-appropriate lifestyle will help me meet the demands of my job, as well as arrange time to be with the people I love.

- How does your husband support you in pursuing your passion?

Relatives of people working in news and television have to sacrifice a lot. We are as difficult as any other normal couple. My job has no fixed days off, and my work schedule is based on the news on air.

My husband always prioritizes all family vacations and trips according to my schedule. “If heaven does not accept earth, then earth must accept heaven” only then can we be happy.

Her businessman husband has always loved and supported Mai Ngoc's career.

- Is building the image of a capable and beautiful editor the direction you chose?

Those are always the two criteria I aim for every day. Everyone wants to have those two things but it is not easy.
