The 31-year-old Prime Minister and his desire for change
In the past few days, the world has been feverish about the elected Prime Minister of the Republic of Austria. 31 years old, Mr. Sebastian Kurz comes from a family of an engineer father with no regular job, and a teacher mother.
His family lived in the Meidling district of Vienna, which was home to many tanning salons and Turkish delis.
Sebastian Kurz finished high school, completed his military service, and did not have a university degree. He was studying law at the University of Vienna when he dropped out to devote his time to political activities.
The world admires, of course, the Vietnamese admire too much. Young, talented, highly respected, serving as prime minister of a prestigious country in Europe, it would be strange not to admire.

Sebastian Kurz will be the youngest prime minister among heads of state elected by the people since the last century. The youngest, before that, was Benazir Bhuto, Prime Minister of Pakistan, who was 35 years old. More recently, Emanuel Macron, Prime Minister of France, was 39 years old.
Not having a university degree, not being from a political family, and being from the working class... Those things are not negative points for a young politician, very young, talented and with a desire for change, in a European country, like Austria.
Young, reaching the pinnacle of power early, but the political path of the new Austrian Chancellor is not a "leap", "shortcut", "mature quickly", "mature force", as we have witnessed elsewhere. Although he has only been in politics for a few years, this young politician has experienced many positions, from low to high, with a lot of experience and practice.
Young people admire Kurz, a young man with ambition and will, committed to politics, successful, thanks to "saying what he thinks", and taking action to change, change himself, change society, change the world.
People admire Austria, a country with a suitable social and political environment for young people like Kurz to express their ambitions, demonstrate their talents, develop their abilities, hone their character and contribute.
The 31-year-old Austrian Prime Minister has become a phenomenon, and more than that, an icon, inspiring young people.
Vietnam, there will be Sebastian Kurz

Going back in time, the communist veteran Tran Phu, born in 1904, was elected General Secretary of the Indochinese Communist Party - today's Communist Party of Vietnam - in 1930 at the age of 26. The members of the first Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam were mostly around 30 years old. In the senior leadership of the party, the current term, there were a number of young people, around 40 years old. Although not really outstanding, and belonging to the "descendants" generation, at that age, in the position of secretary, provincial governor, it was already a welcome sign.
Every country needs young people with a mind for national salvation, a desire to change and turn the situation around. The people want real talents to help the Party, help the people, and lead the country to prosperity and civilization.
"Heroes are like morning stars", "talents are like autumn leaves" (Nguyen Trai). So rare, but if you have a discerning eye, if there is an environment for talents and heroes to show themselves, then there is no need to worry about not having talents and heroes. The great man Nguyen Trai once advised: Heroes exist in every era.
During the war, the combat environment and production labor were the test of gold. Through harsh reality, who loved the country, who loved the people, who was talented, who was cowardly, were clearly revealed. Now, in the time of peace and integration, the testing environment must be different, the way of recognizing and selecting talented people must be different.
If you value talent, don't put too much emphasis on degrees. Putting too much emphasis on degrees leads to problems of buying degrees, buying degrees, and fake degrees.
If we value real talent, then "descendants", "relationships", "money" or "disciples", as people have long described the negative side of organizational work, must be eliminated.
If you value talent, don't judge young people based on their elders. Talent doesn't depend on age. Look at the marks of past work and how young people explain their current work to evaluate them.
Let the youth practice politics. A pure political and social environment for the youth to express their aspirations and say what they think. A forum for them to put into words their thoughts: I want to be prime minister. I want change. A forum for the youth to give advice and express their opinions, like: If I were prime minister.
And, a method of selecting personnel, not by a vote of confidence, but instead by competitive examination, and in the future, will have a more superior and democratic form, and will be more opportunities for talented young people.
