1. What three pieces of advice will you give your children?
_ Think about it. Of all the DOZENS of great ideas you’d like to give your children, what would be the TOP THREE?
Here are mine (from Tien Wong):
1. THINK for yourself – To live a fulfilling life, you have to think independently. This is how you can create a world of limitless possibility. Question everything! It’s OK to listen to “conventional wisdom” and advice that people give you, but YOU have to ultimately form your own opinions. This is what the best LEADERS do, whether they are leading a company, a family, or their own lives.
2. Always maintain your INTEGRITY – In the end, you have only 2 things: your memories and your name. And your name and reputation live on. By keeping your promises and doing the RIGHT THING, you will sleep soundly at night and have peace of mind.
3. Find your PASSION and give 100% – Life is very short. You don’t have much time, so make the most of it by doing what you LOVE and giving your ALL. It’s not easy to find your passion. Maybe the search will be painful and long, but you will find it at some point. And the feeling of satisfaction knowing you have given 100% brings tremendouscontentment.

In Your Profession: Be Good at It, Enjoy It, and Make Sure It Pays Well
1: Live life from a place of gratitude and compassion. I remind my kids to have compassion for the weak, the sick, and the elderly because at points in their lives, they will be all three.
2: Have a strong moral compass. Know who you are at your core. What do you stand for? What do you value? Do your best to remain true to your values. What matters is not what you do when everyone is watching. What matters is what you do when you are the only one watching.
3: I remind them often to take the high road. Finish graciously, gracefully, and strong. Bless & release grudges, bitterness, and resentment.
4: Don’t be afraid of difficult conversations or tears. Both are necessary to move forward from difficult places.
5: I often tell my kids to cherish the word “friend.” Facebook has marginalized and de-valued the beauty of the concept of friend. True friends are rare and are essential food for our hearts, souls, minds, and spirits. We are the average of those closest to us. Choose your inner circle carefully.
6: Family matters above all else. Always.

1. Dwell on the future, not the past. What’s done is done, the future is the only thing you can have an impact on.
2. Ask God for forgiveness and move on. God always forgives the faithful.
3. Focus on the positive and use it. Reflect on your gains and build on your strengths. Let go of your failures.
4. Count your blessings, nurture your faith. Thank God everyday for who you are. Move on through this earthly existence as best you can.
5. Nobody is perfect, not even you (or me). There will always be failings and temptations. That is what the Devil does for a living!
6. Enjoy life! Leave a legacy for your children to follow. That’s all we really can do.
2. Whose advice do you follow more, your parents’ or your friends’ advice?
3. If you could give the leader of your country some advice, what would it be?
_ Education
_ Economic
_ Politic
_ Social
4. If you could go back in time and give yourself some advice, what would you tell your younger self?
5. Who was the wisest (uyên bác, thông thái) person in your country’s history? What kind of advice did they give?
6. Where do you go to get good advice?
+ Now it’s your turn to give some advice:
1. What are some things students should do to improve their English?
2. What should I do to make more money?
3. How can I get more free time?
4. What should people do when first meeting their boyfriend/girlfriend’s parents?
6. What should someone do to be happy?
