No matter the outcome, just trying is excellent.
Moving away from formulaic advice, Huy shared his personal struggles. Initially studying engineering and excelling in physics, he found himself drawn to teaching but felt lost and discouraged as peers secured stable jobs. This experience led him to emphasize that young people often compare themselves to others, overlooking their unique value. He urged them to focus on self-improvement by addressing weaknesses and amplifying strengths, rather than striving to be someone else.
To express yourself, you must choose the right way to express yourself. Everyone has their own uniqueness, and it needs to be placed in the right environment and direction.
"To express yourself, you must choose the right way to express yourself. Everyone has their own uniqueness, and it needs to be placed in the right environment and direction," Huy stated. He believes personal branding is not about perfection but about presenting oneself authentically in alignment with career goals and public reception. He encouraged students to embrace their individuality while remaining open to feedback for continuous growth.
Huy repeatedly stressed the courage to try, viewing stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing failure as successes in themselves. "Happiness doesn't come from the final achievement but lies in the journey we take, the experiences we learn, and the people we meet on the path to growing up," he expressed. Beyond personal development, he also touched upon his IELTS journey, highlighting the importance of understanding the test's 'rules of the game' and adopting the correct learning mindset over merely chasing scores.
