“I always want to contribute to science”

Good news kept coming to Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted when Tran Huu Binh Minh excellently won the Silver Medal at the Asian Physics Olympiad, a medal that he believes is not a matter of luck, but the result of hard work and training over 2 years.

When talking about Binh Minh, people think of a gentle, lovable boy with a passion for science. From a young age, he showed this quality early on, always exploring the operation of machines in the house, from electric fans, televisions, washing machines. Therefore, he always paid attention to popular science programs broadcast on television. Growing up, Minh soon showed his talent for natural subjects when he continuously won prizes in Mathematics and Information Technology for many years.

When he was selected to enter the Physics class at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, teacher Tran Van Nga soon saw the boy's "award-winning" qualities. After days of diligently studying with his devoted teacher, Minh realized many things, "if you pursue science, you must pursue it to the end." Because science is also an art, if you have talent, passion, and dedication, you will achieve results. And so, participating in competitions is the ladder that helps researchers conquer the heights of science. It is those motivations that helped him continuously win the National First Prize in Physics and the Silver Medal at the Asian Physics Olympiad.

When mentioning his future plans, Minh only said that first of all he must study really well and choose the right environment to continue writing the projects he is cherishing. Therefore, he thinks that talking too much about his plans and dreams at this time is not appropriate. "I just hope that I can always contribute to science, create useful works that serve life. And in my opinion, a scientific work is truly meaningful when it solves problems in life."

"Must preserve the cultural soul of the Thai people"

The name Sam Van Binh being called at the 2017 Scientific Research Awards Ceremony did not surprise many people, because for a long time the work "Research, collection, compilation of documents and organization of teaching of Lai Tay Thai script" has truly entered the lives of the Thai ethnic group.

This is the first work that has done a relatively complete study of the Lai Tay Thai script, including a complete set of documents for teaching Lai Tay Thai script including 5 books: Thai script learning guidebook, vocabulary book, grammar book, exercise book, reference book, providing basic knowledge about the script, phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar of Lai Tay Thai script.

Sam Van Binh said: To successfully research this project, he spent many years in the field collecting and compiling ancient Thai scripts, prayers, prayers for the harvest, prayers for rain, prayers at death anniversaries and funerals; and then the love calls, love songs that have been lost in modern times were also collected by him, sentence by sentence, word by word from old village elders, from ancient documents that he accidentally discovered.

Since then, works and articles were born; the works "Lai Tay Script", "Lai of Muong Ham", "Lai Script of Thanh Hoa", "Lai Script of Muong Mun", "Lai Script of Muong Muoi", "Lai Pao Script" ... have become valuable documents for the study of Thai ethnic language and culture.

When asked about future plans, preserving ancient Thai script and preserving Thai customs, Sam Van Binh said that in the coming time, the project will continue to be researched to further perfect the set of teaching materials for Lai Tay Thai script; at the same time, create fonts for effective application, contributing to preserving and promoting Thai script. Besides, to be able to turn this "word" into a "living language", it is necessary to expand teaching models to many different subjects. "But what I worry about most is still preserving the core customs and practices of ancient Thai people, which are increasingly tending to disappear" - Sam Van Binh confided.

“Passengers are my benefactors”

Since his working days in Germany, Nguyen Dam Van has cherished the idea of ​​bringing to Vietnam a new way of transporting goods, helping customers not to worry about long-distance transport by car. That is, passengers will be taken to their destination by shuttle bus, passengers will be able to sleep in beds like on a train, and the departure and arrival times will be guaranteed. However, when he returned to the country, it took him a long time to think before he was able to establish the first sleeper bus company in Nghe An with a relatively special way of operating at that time.

That is, there is never any pick-up of passengers along the way; if there is only one person on the bus, it still departs... And what Van Minh is always labeled as "crazy" and "outstanding" by other units is that on all holidays and Tet, while other transport units simultaneously increase prices, considering it an occasion to "work for the month and earn a living", Van Minh still keeps the same price on normal days. With the motto of creating a brand based on service style and operating mode, Van Minh Transport Joint Stock Company is considered a quality transport unit.

“The company has a team of drivers who are skilled and have many years of experience. Every year, in national driving competitions, Van Minh always wins the highest title” - said Mr. Nguyen Dam Van, Director of the company.

This achievement is not only because the company has a good training system but also because it has created a widespread emulation movement among its staff. Each driver and employee of the company has a healthy competitive environment, which is to evaluate work performance based on customer satisfaction, from service attitude to transportation quality in each trip. If any employee receives compliments and thanks from customers, their emulation points will be increased in the month, and they will receive monthly, quarterly and year-end bonuses. At the same time, if they are reprimanded by customers, they will be punished.

“Every year, the company also holds a cultural and behavioral contest and a good driving contest, both to strengthen the profession and to stimulate creativity and competitive spirit among staff,” said Mr. Nguyen Dam Van.

In more than 10 years of operation, Van Minh has had a rather large collection of awards: Golden Steering Wheel Award for 4 consecutive years (from 2013 - 2016); National Excellent Driving Competition Award. Director Nguyen Dam Van himself is one of the 100 excellent businessmen in 2016, 9 typical young faces of Nghe An province in 2013. To promote the achievements that the company has achieved over the years, Mr. Van said that the company's criteria is still to take customer satisfaction as a measure of success, and according to him, transport units need to realize that "customers are not gods but our benefactors".
