My husband sacrificed a lot.

The narration will only stop when the narrator can no longer speak.

- After more than 10 years as a presenter, how is Mai Ngọc different now compared to when she first started?

It's about knowledge and experience. Every day at work, being exposed to the flow of news helps me stay updated and gain more knowledge in many fields.

News anchor Mai Ngọc is affectionately called the "beauty queen" of VTV by her viewers.

- What do you feel you've gained and lost after 10 years in journalism and television?

I've met many remarkable people and heard many heartwarming life stories, but it also came at the cost of spending a lot of time with family and loved ones.

This isn't just my personal experience; anyone who chooses this profession has to go through it. This job has no weekends or holidays because we're always on air, constantly updating the audience with news.

- Who was the person who mentored you, instilled confidence in you, and motivated you to pursue this career?

I am fortunate to have met two older sisters who are in charge of the two news programs, "Weather Today" and "Vietnam Today," which I have been involved in producing and presenting for the past 10 years.

Both of them are veteran editors at VTV, having held various positions before becoming producers. They understand the difficulties faced by newcomers, or those who haven't yet found their footing after a long career. Without them and their advice, I wouldn't be where I am today.

The female presenter chooses to exercise and maintain an optimistic outlook each day to relieve stress and pressure from her work.

- What pressures and difficulties does Mai Ngọc face that the audience doesn't know about?

Life is about constantly challenging yourself and setting goals at each stage. If one day you wake up and no longer feel pressure or difficulty, then you've probably already retired.

- Has Mai Ngoc ever considered stopping because she has a side business and a husband who provides strong support?

Before answering, let me tell you a short story. When I was three years old, I still couldn't speak. My mother said the neighbors thought I must be mute because I hadn't started babbling yet. My mother was worried and took me to the doctor, but the doctor concluded that I was perfectly normal, I just wasn't ready to speak yet.

One morning, upon waking up at the age of three and a half, I said my first words: "Mommy! I want milk." My mother said that I spoke a complete sentence then, even though I had never spoken before. From that day on, except when I was sleeping, I talked so much that it gave everyone a headache. For me, being a TV presenter has become a job I'll only quit when I can no longer speak.

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

- In your more than 10 years in this profession, is there any incident you can't forget?

Being a cautious, somewhat strict, and perfectionist person, I always prepare for any situation that might arise during live broadcasts. Fortunately, nothing significant has happened to me so far. I hope that won't happen in the future.

My husband has to make many sacrifices.

- It seems you overcome stress, difficulties, and busy schedules thanks to your optimistic outlook on life?

I always keep in mind: "Live today to the fullest as if it were your last." Therefore, every difficulty is just an opportunity to get back up and overcome it.

Of course, everyone has tiring, stressful days when they just want them to pass quickly. Instead of dwelling on the stress, I choose to exercise and spend time with friends. Positive people help us look at things from a new perspective. So, who knows, today's difficulties might be tomorrow's motivation?

Mai Ngọc has been involved in journalism and television for over 10 years.

- Many young people are interested in this profession, but not everyone has the perseverance to pursue it. Do you have any advice for them?

No job is easy, and television is even more demanding, always requiring accuracy and originality while adhering to certain standards. Therefore, one must be diligent, patient, constantly learning, and accepting daily challenges to pursue this career, just like any other job.

- Dubbed the beauty queen of VTV and having achieved a successful career, what is your secret?

I've passed the age of 30, and things can't be the same as they were when I was 23. However, my standards have changed accordingly. At this age, my only goal is to look my best for my age.

Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and most importantly, an age-appropriate lifestyle will help me meet the demands of my job, as well as find time to be with the people I love.

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

The families of those who work in news and television have to make many sacrifices. We face the same difficulties as other couples. My job doesn't have fixed days off, and my work schedule is tied to the news broadcasts.

My husband always prioritizes my schedule for family vacations and trips . He believes that if heaven doesn't yield to earth, then earth must yield to heaven; only then can we be happy and joyful.

Mai Ngọc's businessman husband has always been loving and supportive of her career.

- Is building an image of a news anchor who is both competent and visually appealing the direction you've chosen?

Those are always the two goals I strive for every day. Everyone wants to have those two things, but it's not easy.
