Keeping yourself and losing yourself, just in the blink of an eye
Great opportunities await them ahead, the path they take is still wide and open... But unfortunately, they have themselves deviated from that path.
In many recent disciplinary cases against officials, many people from the 7X and 8X generations, who did not experience war, were well-trained at home and abroad. They were expected to bring a new wind to the work of officials, that is youth, creativity and enthusiasm, but unfortunately, the process of keeping oneself and losing oneself, was just a moment away.

| Young officials were once expected to "make things happen" because of their spirit of daring to think, daring to do, and daring to take responsibility. |
At the age of 41, Mr. Tat Thanh Cang was appointed as Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, then Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Permanent Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee in 2016 after entering the Central Government. He once declared that he would strictly handle and not cover up for officials who committed violations, causing damage to the state budget, affecting the trust of the people... And he himself "asked to set an example first" when receiving support from the 4 poorest households at the gift-giving ceremony for poor households in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City in 2017.
At the age of 39, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh holds the position of Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee and Chairman of the City People's Council. As one of the two youngest provincial secretaries in the country, on the day of his inauguration on October 16, 2015, he made "impressive" statements when he declared "Waste is an insult to the people's trust, corruption is a crime against the people". The new young Secretary also asserted: "The position is assigned by the Party, so if a leader wants to do something, he must think, this is not the power that he enjoys for himself or his family, and he can do whatever he wants"...
There are many other young cadres who rose to prominence thanks to their eloquent and strong statements, but when everything broke out and the truth was revealed, it turned out that things were not as they said. The signs of degradation are not far away, that is the situation of "saying but doing nothing, promising a lot but doing little; saying one thing but doing another, individualism, selfishness, pragmatism, having the "achievement" disease, being greedy for fame, showing off, "polishing" one's name...
Public opinion used to feel sorry for experienced officials who took advantage of the "sweeping train" at the "sunset of their term"... but now, they feel disappointed when their trust in young officials is broken and fading. The great opportunities of the country are waiting for them ahead, the path they take is still long and wide... But they have led themselves off that path.
Looking at the young cadres being trained in the Party school system, Mr. Nguyen Viet Thao, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, once said: "Our current leadership and management cadres, from the grassroots to the Central level, are showing many young, dynamic faces, well-trained, full of determination". But the lack that Mr. Thao pointed out is that this team is not trained and challenged like the generations of fathers and brothers who experienced the war.
What would young cadres be like if there was no connection between the past and the present, no spirit of service and integrity... They need to learn more from their predecessors about sacrifice and revolutionary ideals. They also need to understand the humiliation of those who have degenerated. Yesterday, there was money, power and enjoyment. The next day, not only would they return to zero, but perhaps even their civil rights would be gone.
If in the 12th term, out of 200 Central Committee members, there were 19 people under 45 years old, then certainly, the number of young cadres is expected to be even greater in the next term.
This November, Party committees, authorities, agencies and units will carry out the process of introducing personnel for the 13th Central Executive Committee to present to the 9th Central Conference in December this year.
Having a successor team that is both red, professional, dedicated and self-reliant, the primary responsibility lies with the introduction stage./.
