This morning, June 9, at Hanoi National University of Education, the closing ceremony of the 2022-2023 school year took place and university graduation certificates were awarded to new bachelors - students of K69.
During the ceremony, Professor Nguyen Van Minh sent his gratitude and some messages about life and courage to the new graduates, most of whom will become teachers, before they leave the teacher training school.
Professor Nguyen Van Minh awarded graduation certificates to excellent graduates of K69.
"Remember a forest fire can start from just one small spark…"
According to Professor Minh, the responsibility of educators is to accompany and change for the better each person, each destiny. You will be the ones to make the educational "picture" brighter, each person better, and the ones to bring more positive energy to life, to each person.
Professor Minh pointed out some negative phenomena in human emotional life, about the good things that are accidentally lost, to warn: "Remember, a forest fire can only start with a small spark... I hope you will go to the end of life, touch the bottom of the hearts of human lives so as not to be indifferent and become apathetic, so that what is true will prevail. Understanding is not to be miserable but to gradually kindle the good things through your actions and never let your heart grow cold".
Professor Minh shared that the students of Hanoi National University of Education are the reason for his life. He is also a normal person like everyone else, with happy and sad moments, worries and contemplative moments, even pessimism. But more than that, every time he thinks of them, the hardships, worries, and feelings become softer and warmer to overcome.
Professor Minh confided: "Whenever I suddenly see children playing innocently, my heart is filled with joy; when I see some children sitting pensively under the trees, my heart sinks. I wonder, why is it that somewhere in this place still makes the children's hearts heavy?
One day, while walking on the street, I was greeted by a motorbike taxi driver who said that he worked as a Grab driver after school. I admire and respect them very much, and there are many other things… They have taught me many valuable life lessons.
It seems that all of you who come to this school, above all, have deep love for people and life, and I am blessed to live in that overflowing love. You are a part of my life. I am grateful to you!
Teachers are the guardians of children's childhood.
Professor Minh hopes that in the future, future teachers will teach children to love their parents, to be grateful for the salty water and sour fields, the hardships to earn a bowl of rice; to share with the less fortunate and forgive mistakes. Then, they will teach children to love even more than that.
Be the guardians of your children's childhood. Don't let learning take away their innocence; tell parents that childhood is a magical time; ask your children if they are happy at school instead of asking how many points they got today.
According to Professor Minh, losing the innocence and purity of children is a sin. Primitiveness is the sacred root of human beings. Try to keep children's kites soaring high in the windy fields, keep the innocence that dominates their childhood years. Get rid of the idea of turning children into excellent experts, but always remember to educate children to know how to love, care, and share with those close to them. Tell parents not to force their children to mature and become tools to realize their ambitions.
Professor Minh expressed: "You will be the ones to build trust. Trust does not come from flowery, ostentatious words; it does not come from mere books. Trust must begin with behavior and actions. The power of education is to transform and must begin with transformation, not with punishment or execution. Transformation begins with love and forgiveness; with understanding to touch the heart, to awaken the deep roots of compassion. A handshake when someone is helpless is worth a thousand times more than a party."
Professor Minh also advised the new graduates not to enter life with the illusion that it is a place where they can do everything. There are good things there, but there is also jealousy and pettiness; there is no shortage of traps there, but that is life, no one can escape it, so let's face it.
"Only doing good deeds can push back the bad, but cannot immediately erase the bad. That requires courage, perseverance and time. But I believe that you, my students, those who have the will, the love and the responsibility, will be ready to commit and do it," Professor Minh shared.
