In the new era of development, Vietnamese youth not only face wide-open opportunities but also have to overcome many challenges to assert themselves and contribute to the country.

"A pure heart" helps them uphold morality and noble ideals; "a bright mind" brings sharp and creative thinking; and "great ambition" is the driving force to reach further and contribute. So how can today's young generation nurture these core values, transform aspirations into practical actions, and become the pioneering force to move the country forward in the era of integration?

Nurturing "Inner Heart" Amidst the Pressures of Modern Life

Amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life, when material values ​​often overwhelm spiritual values, maintaining a "pure heart" is not easy. But it is in these challenges that the steadfastness, courage and sincerity of each young person truly shine.

"Inner purity" is not something you're born with, but the result of training, a daily choice made in the face of temptations and pressures. It's when you dare to refuse treacherous shortcuts, when you don't compromise your conscience for quick success. It's when you maintain integrity, compassion, and kindness amidst the struggles of life, when you don't let yourself be swept away by the whirlwind of fame and money, forgetting your core values.

To maintain inner peace, young people need a support system, which could be family, teachers, or like-minded friends. Reading a good book, spending time with inspiring people, and living amidst beauty and kindness—all can help nurture a strong spirit to withstand life's storms.

Most importantly, every young person needs to ask themselves: What am I living for? What values ​​cannot be lost? By constantly asking these questions, we will have enough clarity to avoid getting lost, and enough strength not to compromise with things that are unworthy. A pure heart not only brings us peace within ourselves, but also serves as a light to spread goodness, contributing to a healthier society.

"Intelligence" in the digital age

In a rapidly changing world where technology is developing at a breakneck pace and knowledge is exploding exponentially, "intelligence" is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about the ability to think sharply, to ask questions, to challenge established norms, and to constantly innovate. A truly insightful mind is not one filled with information, but one that knows how to analyze, select, critically evaluate, and find new directions from seemingly familiar things.

We can look at the talented and capable young Vietnamese people in many fields to see that critical thinking and adaptability are key to success. Nguyen Ha Dong, the creator of the Flappy Bird game, achieved success thanks to his creative thinking and willingness to think differently. Le Yen Thanh, a young technology engineer who previously worked at Google, founded BusMap to help people travel more conveniently. Or Dang Van Hien, a young Hmong man from Lao Cai , who rose from a buffalo herder to become one of Google's top programmers. Their common trait is their constant questioning, willingness to challenge themselves, and refusal to accept limitations.

But "intelligence" isn't just about knowing how to ask questions; it's also about adaptability, a crucial quality in the digital age. Technology changes, markets fluctuate, and society is constantly transforming. Without flexibility and the courage to change, we will be left behind. Young entrepreneurs in technology, smart agriculture, or e-commerce understand that today's success can become obsolete tomorrow if they don't quickly innovate, like Nguyen Ba Canh Son, the founder of Mismart, who created smart drones for Vietnamese agriculture. Or Tran Viet Hung, the founder of Got It, who expanded globally thanks to his adaptability and relentless innovation.

No one is born with brilliant intellect, but everyone can cultivate themselves to become wiser every day. When the younger generation dares to think differently, dares to look far ahead, and dares to do big things, it is not only personal development but also a driving force for the entire nation to move forward. Vietnam currently has a generation of ambitious young people, ready to break through, and they will be the ones to write the story of the future.

Turn ambition into practical action

Great ambitions are not just personal dreams, but also aspirations to contribute to the nation. The extent to which a young generation can reach is measured not only by individual success, but also by the value they create for the community and society. But how can these ambitions not remain mere words or ideas on paper, but become concrete actions that contribute to the sustainable development of the country?

First of all, big ambitions need to be accompanied by a strong will and a spirit of action. There is no shortage of young Vietnamese people who dare to think big and commit to the community. We can mention Nguyen Thi Thu Trang - a girl who was once in the top "30 Under 30" of Forbes Vietnam thanks to founding a plastic waste recycling project, contributing to environmental protection. Or Hoang Hoa Trung - a young man who devoted his youth to building schools for children in the highlands, making educational dreams come true. They not only have ambitions, but also constantly take action, step by step turning the impossible into possible.

Today's young generation has more advantages than ever with the development of science and technology, global connectivity and endless learning opportunities. But opportunities will be meaningless without responsibility and perseverance. Many young startups in Vietnam have reached out to the world, not only creating economic value but also contributing to solving social problems. For example, Nguyen Ba Canh Son with his agricultural drone project to help optimize sustainable agricultural production. That is Pham Khanh Linh - founder of Logivan, bringing technology to the logistics sector to reduce costs and protect the environment. They not only enrich themselves but also create real value for the country.

But big ambitions don’t have to be grand. Sometimes, a small act can make a big impact. A young doctor accepts to go to a remote area to treat the poor. A technology engineer dedicates himself to research to master artificial intelligence. A young person dares to step out of his comfort zone, persevering with his ideals instead of choosing the easy path. Big changes always start with small steps, but the most important thing is to dare to take them.

Vietnam needs a generation of young people who not only have dreams, but also have the responsibility and will to turn those dreams into actions. When each young person lights the fire of dedication, the whole country will light up, moving forward on the path of sustainable development.

Cultivate the spirit of "pure heart, bright mind, great ambition"

A strong youth generation does not come naturally, but is nurtured by a liberal education, a loving family and an inspiring society. In the journey to build a young generation with "pure hearts, bright minds, and great ambitions", the companionship of three important pillars is indispensable: education, family and society. Each element plays a separate role but all aim towards the common goal of creating citizens who are both moral, intelligent and have the desire to contribute to the country.

Education is the foundation of intellectual development. An education system that not only imparts knowledge but also encourages critical thinking, creativity, and innovation is key to ensuring Vietnamese youth do not fall behind in the digital age. Furthermore, education needs to foster love for the homeland and national pride, so that each young person understands that intellect serves not only themselves but must also contribute to the development of the country.

Looking at countries with advanced education systems like Finland or Japan, we see that they not only teach students how to be better academically, but also how to become responsible citizens who contribute to the community. Vietnam also needs such an education system, where each student is not only knowledgeable but also steadfast in their ideals.

Family is where the seeds of "pure heart" are sown. No one is born with kindness or honesty, all are formed from the first lessons in life, from the way parents teach their children about kindness, from family meals where children learn to listen and share. A child who grows up in love and is encouraged to pursue his passion will have many opportunities to develop into a person with great ambitions. There are young Vietnamese people who reach out to the world but still always carry family values, like Nguyen Ha Dong - the father of Flappy Bird, who despite his great success still chooses a simple life and always maintains a sense of responsibility to his homeland.

Society is the launching pad for "great ambitions." A generation of ambitious young people cannot thrive if their environment stifles their dreams. Only when society creates equal opportunities, encourages innovation, and values ​​ethical principles can young people fully realize their potential.

We need more programs to support startups, academic and artistic playgrounds, and policies to help young people dare to think, dare to do, dare to contribute. Look at countries with developed science and technology, where new ideas are always welcomed, where young people can try and make mistakes without fear of judgment, that is the ideal environment to nurture ambition.

So how can we create a favorable environment for the holistic development of the younger generation? First, education must be truly reformed to encourage independent thinking and creativity. Families need to become a source of emotional support, where children learn core moral values. Society must create more opportunities for young people to develop, encouraging them to contribute to major national issues, from the economy to environmental protection and cultural preservation.

When education provides young people with knowledge and critical thinking, families nurture them with love, and society motivates them to contribute, that is when we have a generation of young people who are both "pure in heart" and "bright in mind," carrying within them great ambitions to take Vietnam further on the world map.
