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 a 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 navel 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 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 like friends"

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

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 I was little, I also wanted to have a certain distance with my children so that they could 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 to “teach” me some things, and I see that they really like it. From then on, I saw that my children are better than me in many ways, and I realized that my family is blessed because our children are better than their fathers.

So how do you teach your children to be independent?

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

With children, both far and near, to give them space to be independent. Family is an important nucleus, and the most important thing for the couple is the children.
