U.40 but spirit is still Gen Z

Mr. Dat said: "I am very lucky to have the opportunity to set foot in 41 countries and territories. I am very lucky that I am currently doing jobs that can be called my dream jobs. These jobs help me to have income, live in my own dreams, and "enjoy all the moments" (roughly translated: enjoy all the moments - PV ) while still proactively arranging everything in my life". And he humorously shared: "Because of that, even though I am now in my 40s, my spirit is still Gen Z".

In the trips that Mr. Beo U40 told, the young delegates were most excited when he told them about the time he met the Blackpink group. "I was very happy to have recently met the Blackpink group, it can be said that my dream has come true. I participated in a contest and was lucky to be one of 88 people in the world to overcome the odds of 1/60,000 to be able to go to Korea and meet my idol in person at a distance even closer than with the MC today", Mr. Dat pointed to the MC sitting next to him and said. Mr. Dat said that time he had the chance to talk, shake hands, and give gifts with a strong Vietnamese character to each member of the Blackpink group. And there were many meetings with other famous artists in the world... A trip that Mr. Dat could never forget was in 2014, when he officially became a member of the Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Ship. "After 6 years of continuous pursuit, applying 4 times and failing 3 times, my dream has come true," he recalled. "All of that comes from the fact that I have always been a very active Youth Union and Association officer since my school days and throughout my university life. I always tried my best to really focus on recognizing my limitations and weaknesses. From there, I have a plan to overcome those weaknesses and maximize my strengths," Mr. Beo U40 shared.

The teacher with 5.1 million followers on TikTok and 500,000 followers on Facebook said that today he was very emotional when talking about his journey, from when his passport had no stamps until now, when he has changed nearly 40. Mr. Dat said that since his first year at the Faculty of International Relations, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City, he felt lucky to enter an environment where everyone was very good. That's why he knew what he needed to do in the next step. "Studying in the Faculty of International Relations, it is normal for everyone to win national awards, gold medals in English Olympic competitions or IELTS 8.5, 9.0 in the first year. Therefore, I need to seriously look in the mirror and see my strengths and weaknesses to overcome and improve a little each day. In addition to trying very hard, persevering and making efforts, I am very disciplined with all the plans and goals I have set," Mr. Dat shared about the motivation and secret that helped him get to where he is today.

"Waiting" for "dramas" can still improve English

When asked about the secret to learning foreign languages ​​well, Mr. Beo U40 said that he often watches interviews of famous artists in the world, as well as information about his idols in English, or even "watches" his idols' "dramas" in English... According to Mr. Dat, that way he can both "follow" his idols, have time for his hobbies, and also create a habit of making the best use of 24 hours a day to learn and improve foreign languages. And that is also the method that Mr. Dat has applied since he was young. Regarding the question of whether being good at foreign languages ​​can help him integrate? Mr. Dat said that besides foreign languages, one of the things that helps him go so far comes from his pride in being a Vietnamese citizen.

"If you go on social networks and search for the phrase "international exchange programs for Vietnamese citizens", there will be many results. So believe that if you want to participate in such integration programs, you should start from patriotism that you want to spread your country to everyone, from there you will have a lot of preparation for your trips and integration", Mr. Beo U40 sent a message and affirmed: "At present, there are many opportunities, so whether or not you can integrate depends on the initiative of each of us young people". To create content on social networks to attract young people about improving foreign language skills and integration skills, Mr. Dat said that currently on social networking platforms, there are many great trends. For example: "Where has learning a foreign language taken me?", from the posts shared by young people following this trend, people will be curious: "If I am good at foreign languages, will I also have such opportunities?", or "What do I need to do to have such opportunities?"... From there, it will motivate you to take action. Therefore, Mr. Dat advises that no matter what field we work in, we can skillfully catch the trend and spread positive energy to everyone.
