TALK ON MARCH 26, 2025 - GENUINE LEARNING FOR GENUINE KNOWLEDGE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Dear Party Committee members, Board of Directors and Leaders of departments!
Dear Executive Committee members of the Youth Union, and Youth Union members!
On the occasion of March 26, 2025, the traditional anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, on behalf of the hospital leadership, I would like to extend my best wishes to you. I wish you all good health, happiness, enthusiasm, and a constant stream of new ideas and creativity, finding new ways to achieve new results.
Today, I will only talk about innovation and mergers with you. Mergers are the major Party and State policy aimed at streamlining operations for greater effectiveness and efficiency. Many people are worried that mergers will lead to job losses, loss of positions, and loss of benefits. However, those concerns only come from those who are weak, lack abilities and resist innovation.
People shouldn't worry about the future, about mergers; worrying about the future shows a lack of faith, imagination, and solutions for that future. Young people especially shouldn't worry about the future; the future is an opportunity for everyone, especially for young people, so don't miss it. Prepare for the future: technology and artificial intelligence are the future. They are beside you, so seize them, ride them, and go further.
The youth of the 6.0 technology generation must think differently, act differently, create new things that ignite passion, enjoyment and happiness, do what others have not done to have what one has never had. If you want to have something you’ve never had, you must do what you’ve never done before.
Don't worry that technology will take away our jobs, it offers us many more opportunities. When the steam engine and the internal combustion engine were introduced, people were afraid it would take away jobs, but after 50 years it created many more jobs. When electricity came, many companies worried it would affect their operations by taking jobs away from workers, but what was the result? Electricity has created many more jobs.
Artificial intelligence is the same way; when it arrives, many people imagine that it will take away many jobs, but in reality, it will be different; it is just like the previous industrial revolutions, it will create more jobs for us in another way, we need to embrace it. Don't think that it takes our jobs away, let’s use it as our wings to fly stronger. The artificial intelligence machine can be stronger and smarter than humans, but it cannot be wiser and more intelligent than humans, it cannot be human, it has no beliefs, no religion, no emotions, and no heart like we do. If we work with all that artificial intelligence or machines cannot do, we will definitely succeed. Don’t try to remember too much, computers help us; don’t try to calculate quickly, don’t try to remember too much, computers will calculate faster than us, remember much more than us. Instead, let’s try to create something innovative, invent, and create something with our feelings and heart in it; those are things that computers cannot do. Let’s build our work, every day something new, something more creative; let’s do that and opportunities will come. No one, no force can stop technology, hinder human creativity, or obstruct the solutions that technology brings. Don’t fear those things; they come, you must find a way to ride on them, to let them help you become stronger. We need to quickly embrace and turn technology into energy, motivation to develop ourselves.
Don't think that after the merger with Hanoi Medical University, you will lose your job, or that the hospital will not develop. That is not true; there will be more work at the university, many things to learn, many tasks to do, with more severe patients, new specialties opening up at the hospital, numerous research projects, initiatives, and scientific papers that need to be done and written. Everyone will work according to their abilities and be rewarded based on outcomes. We must adhere to the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) measurements every week, every month. This opens up great potential for us, with unprecedented opportunities. We will be a hub of knowledge and medical ethics, a reliable address that people in the province and the region can turn to.
Nothing comes easy, nothing comes without effort, nothing is without cost; everything has a price. The easiest thing is to think differently and act differently. Every new day must come with new thoughts, new ideas, new methods, new creations, and turning dreams into reality. Today may be difficult, tomorrow may be even more difficult, but the day after tomorrow will definitely be the most beautiful day. When you leave university, that is when you begin your learning journey. When you earn your Bachelor's degree, Doctorate, or PhD, those are just certificates for which your parents or institutions paid tuition for 4 to 8 years; the real opportunities and challenges arise when you leave university, at that moment life truly begins, it is a test, a real examination, that is life.
In the past, the leadership of the hospital did not remind anyone, maybe just mentioning the administrative staff and nursing. Only I have mentioned a few individuals who do not work, hinder, regress, and lack culture. Only I have reminded some doctors about their ineffective work. I speak up because this is the time to do so, even to rearrange if some positions do not show progress, causing delays in the development of the department and the hospital. I encourage the younger staff at the hospital that as we prepare to merge with the university, we must cultivate personal culture, build a personal image, and establish a hospital culture so that we can compete in the market, create more jobs, and earn higher income.
Studying and working hard will bring real results. No one can grow up by lying. Every successful person has a painful lesson. The end of that lesson is success. Prepare yourself for the lesson to succeed.
On the Havard logo, it says: VERY TAS
On the logo of Seoul National University, it says: VERY TAS ET LUX MEA (the truth enlightens me). 
Make the most of your time; everyone has the same amount of time, but each person accomplishes different amounts of work, depending on how they organize their time. When you arrive at the office, after seeing patients, taking care of them, or completing medical records, take the opportunity to read books, learn foreign languages for graduate exams. Don't just sit and scroll through your phone, going on FB or Zalo, wasting time.
I advise young people to: 
Play sports to keep fit 
Not to linger in beer pubs, coffee shops, or karaoke bars 
Not to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or drink strong tea 
Participate in dancing lessons, music lessons, and folk dances 
Get involved in group activities, charities, and movements to repay kindness 
Take care of themselves, their families, parents, grandparents, relatives, and even neighbors 
Never stop learning, always self-study every day 
Wishing you all success! ./.
