I have a career with farmers

There are many jobs that can help farmers escape poverty, why did you choose the banking profession with so much pressure, especially in the current context of accelerating restructuring of the industry?

People choose careers or careers choose people, sometimes we cannot be proactive. Sometimes both choose each other and then have to have fate to come together. Every time we overcome a difficult period, we feel happier and more mature.

It is true that the banking industry is under more pressure because it is the prism that reflects the economy . When the economy worsens, businesses face difficulties and bankruptcy, banks also face difficulties. And the banking industry is the ultimate center of the consequences and results of economic and social activities.

My motto in life when under pressure is to know how to relieve pressure, relieve pressure by “not considering it as pressure”. If there is pressure, I will solve it, once it is solved, that is it, nothing can stop me. So I never consider it as pressure. To do that, I must simplify everything and learn to meditate, calm my mind, and “correct my mind”.

"Give your children space to be independent and treat them as friends"

Sometimes I see you talk about your two daughters studying abroad in Australia. So what do you do to connect with them?

I have 3 children, 1 boy and 2 girls. All my children are in Australia. I have a foreign way of raising children, which is not standing too close to them. In Vietnam, many parents overprotect their children, picking them up immediately when they fall.

Foreigners also take care of their children, but in a very scientific way . They stand far away, and I practice the same. Since childhood, I also wanted to have a certain distance with my children so that they can be independent. So, even though my children are abroad, I still see them every month. If they don't come back, I go visit them.

The important thing is that I always consider my children as my friends. And as friends, I can talk to them all the time. Sometimes I ask my children for advice and “teach” them some things, and I see that they really like it. From then on, I see that my children are better than me in many ways, and I see that my family is blessed because my children are better than their fathers.

So how do you teach your children to be independent?

One way is that I let my children get acquainted with money from the second grade. I see that many Vietnamese students, when learning about balance sheets, even those majoring in finance, are still very confused and do not understand what a balance sheet is.

In 2nd grade, my child already held money to spend. I gave him a piece of paper and divided it into 2 columns: the left side is capital use, the right side is capital source. Capital source is the money parents give, capital use is when children buy things they like like boards, chalk, bicycles... Every month, we add them up to balance capital source and capital use. Now my children all know what a balance sheet is and can calculate finances very quickly.

With children, though far away yet close, to give them space to be independent. Family is an important nucleus, and the most important to the couple is the children.
