Professor Truong Nguyen Thanh encourages young generation to “dream big”

All success in life begins with dreams, because the dream will set up big goal for us to pursue.

DREAM OR IMAGINATION?

“If you dare to dream, let’s dream big! However, the importance is pointing out whether it is dream or imagination.” – quoted by Prof. Truong Nguyen Thanh (Prof. of Briefs) – Ph.D. in Chemistry and Computational Sciences, Minnesota University (USA) in his introduction for the workshop “Dare to dream – Dare to win” held by Nguyen Hoang Group (NHG) in the morning of June 14, 2018. More than 600 students from Hong Bang International University (HIU), Ba Ria – Vung Tau University and others in HCMC participated in the event.

With valuable experiences and achievements gained in Viet Nam and on the world, Prof. Thanh shared his actual concept about life and dreams to help the youth have new perception. He said that: “Imagination is the dream that we build up but just watch from distance and never accept any cost to make it come true. Imagination is called “dream” when we think about it every day and night, when we set it up as a goal and always find the ways to reach it”.

MAKE DREAM COME TRUE

By sharing his own story about traveling Vietnam by bicycle with his son, Prof. Truong Nguyen Thanh led the topic from “how to define dreams” to “the method of making dream come true”. His solution includes 3 basic actions that everyone can do days by days.

The first is to change perception by focusing on bright side of the problem and sweet results that we will gain in future. “Half-full glass” philosophy is the key to blow away negative thoughts blocking us on pathway to success.

The second is to share emotion. When we meet difficulty and troubles, instead of holding back, let’s share our thoughts and ambition with beloved people or professionals. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” – Prof. Thanh emphasized.

The final is to start with the smallest actions, because success cannot be rushed. We need to make a step every day to create a firm foundation for long-term development in future. The journey of a thousand miles always begins with the first steps.

With the message “Dare to dream – Dare to win”, Nguyen Hoang Group and Prof. Truong Nguyen Thanh hope that the young generation will explore themselves ceaselessly to find out dreams and ambition, then to pursue it until the end with passion and force. “Although sometimes our body gets tired and wants to quit, but our mind must be solid and never gives up. Since the value of life is not laid on the destination, but the journey we have been through.” – quoted by Prof. Thanh to the youth.
