Learning to create value

I often say in general that: In Vietnam, 70% of men are considered useless, only the remaining 30% can be used temporarily to be husbands and fathers; meanwhile, 90% of women can be wives and mothers, only the remaining 10% have some reasons why they cannot be wives and mothers. Therefore, it is normal for women to have difficulty getting married or to be single mothers, because where can we find enough good men to be decent husbands and fathers?

Why is that? With the current culture and education in Vietnam, girls are born with a goal in life, at least one goal: to become a good wife and a good mother. They think about that goal, learn how to achieve that goal, and that's enough.

Most boys are not taught in their families/schools how to set dreams/goals in life. Boys are only taught: try to study well, graduate and find a job to make a living.

Poor boys want to escape poverty so they try to study hard in the hope of having a better life than their parents. But after graduating and getting a job, earning a little more than their parents, these boys don't know what to do next (not everything), they just go to work every day and receive a small salary, making it difficult for them to get married, have children and provide their family with a comfortable life.

Other poor children who do not study well are discouraged, hopeless, and are dragged by their friends, leading them to fall into social evils, robbery, drug trafficking, etc.

Rich boys are surrounded by luxury, seeing that with the inheritance from their parents they can live the rest of their lives freely, so they lose their will to strive, idleness leads to evil, either living soullessly or living a life of unconscionable enjoyment, indulging in social evils such as going to bars, drinking, girls, ecstasy...

I have had the opportunity to meet many people whose children are studying in the US. They told me that their children are taught by American schools and teachers that: Students learn to: 1- Create value, 2- Change the world. American students must be global leaders.

Temporarily ignoring the great American goal of changing the world and leading the world, the goal of VALUE CREATION is becoming more and more popular in the education of most countries in the world. Families/schools in many countries teach their children: Do whatever you want, study whatever you want, in the end you must achieve the goal: Create some value for the community, which means you must contribute to creating some product/service that the community needs, meeting their needs.

The child will be guided or think for himself to choose the path of CREATING VALUE that is most suitable for him, suitable for his passion, his qualities, and his innate characteristics.

Family/School creates conditions for children to experience and experiment with many subjects, many fields, many different environments so that children can choose for themselves which field and environment is most suitable for them and, importantly, stimulate the interest and passion within the child.

Once chosen, the child will gradually learn, practice, and experience to improve his or her own abilities to meet the set goals.

Because the goal is to CREATE VALUE, which the community needs, as soon as the community uses the VALUE created, the community immediately pays the value creator. The more value is used, the more money flows back.

So CREATING VALUE is the goal but MONEY FLOWING IN is the measure of the value you have created and is accepted and used by the community.

CREATING VALUE is the Cause, and the MONEY FLOWING IN is the Effect. A wise person will focus on creating the Cause, and the Effect will be born from the Cause created. The more value you create, the more people use it, the richer you become, and no force can stop your wealth unless you give away your assets.

This explains why people who are always chasing after money don’t earn much, while many rich and super rich people get richer. Because those rich and super rich people care about and focus on CREATING VALUE, they constantly think and find ways to create more and more value, and more people use their value./.
