"Talent develops through love of country"

"Young people's talents can be developed first thanks to love for the Fatherland. After love comes passion, determination to overcome difficulties and not fear failure," said the National Assembly Chairman.

On the morning of December 12, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung met with delegates attending the second Vietnam Young Talent Congress in Hanoi.

Entering the Conference room with a friendly smile, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung shook hands with young delegates such as "child prodigy" Do Nhat Nam and musical talent Quach Hoang Nhi. He lingered to ask about the places where the young delegates were studying, then went up to the Chairman's seat.

In the opening, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung said that the National Assembly building was built on the land left by our ancestors thousands of years ago, continuing the historical tradition of Tan Trao, making the August Revolution successful, bringing the people out of the darkness of slavery, and gaining national independence.

Dien Hong Conference Room is named after the famous "decisive battle" conference in history, demonstrating Vietnam's will to be independent and rise up.

Review literature, practice martial arts, hone talent

"We meet here, in the National Assembly, to honor young Vietnamese talents, from farmers, workers, students, intellectuals... Our youth is very heroic. You sitting here and other young people being honored, let's exchange and learn to promote Vietnam's talents," said National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung.

The National Assembly Chairman said he was very happy to hear four young people speak with emotion, enthusiasm, and love for the Fatherland, as well as the will to strive to not only be good Vietnamese citizens, but also to become global citizens.

According to the head of the National Assembly, we have global cultural celebrities. Many individuals and groups have won prizes at international competitions, not only in knowledge, but also in professional competitions. These things contribute to the strength of the nation.

"Without commerce, there is no wealth, without knowledge, there is no prosperity. Without knowledge, a country cannot prosper. Our ancestors taught that talent is the vital energy of a nation. Uncle Ho also said, as young people, in the future you will be the masters of your country, the masters of the world. The young generation needs to rise up," said National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung.

'Talent develops through love of country'

The National Assembly Chairman said that the talents of young people can be developed first thanks to the love of the Fatherland, family, and homeland, but to become young talents in any field, one must be passionate. Love is the beginning, love also comes from struggling in work. After love comes passion, determination to overcome all difficulties, obstacles and not fear failure.

The National Assembly Chairman advised that if one does not review literature, practice martial arts, and continue to strive for talent, one will not succeed. There is no more difficult or arduous path than training to become talented.

"Talents are the vitality of the nation, but we - the young people sitting here - have won international gold medals, are we talents? The more talented we are, the more prosperous the vitality of the nation will be. I hope that you sitting here will truly become talents, so that Vietnam will not only be beautiful in nature, but also beautiful in culture...", said National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung.

Towards global citizenship

Before the speech of the National Assembly Chairman, Do Nhat Nam (14 years old), an international student in the US, on behalf of the delegates attending the Young Talent Congress, shared his story of efforts to become a global citizen.

This boy, who is called a "child prodigy" by many people, said that he wanted to study abroad since he was young to improve his knowledge and integrate into world cultures. Therefore, Nhat Nam tried to learn English well from a very early age.

This international student shared that at the age of 13, he went to the US to study and experienced many difficulties such as homesickness, nostalgia for his homeland and country. "But what helped me overcome it was my love for my country and the desire to prove to my friends around the world about the capabilities of the Vietnamese people."

After achieving some academic success, this past summer vacation, "child prodigy" Nhat Nam returned home to teach English for free to students in Hanoi.

Nam believes, "Vietnamese youth can become global citizens. Love for the Fatherland and love for peace are like shade. Under the shade of peace, young people can overcome poverty, ugliness and weakness. Vietnam is a place for young people to prove themselves and become global citizens."

Also looking towards the story of global integration, young entrepreneur Dinh Thi Bich Chau - top 200 Vietnam Golden Star Award - shared that the opportunities brought by the TPP Agreement are not only for businesses, but also for the entire Vietnamese economy.

“I am aware that the TPP ticket is like a swimming ticket, sinking or winning depends on the capacity of the Vietnamese business sector and economy. We are ready to face the TPP with a relaxed mindset, on an equal footing with partners around the world,” said the young businessman.
