An interview with Doanh Nhân Magazine in my pioneering role as a
social entrepreneurs in Vietnam, the 2015 article ‘Following Nature's Course.’ The season
Is Covid-19 an opportunity for us to reconsider how to “follow nat
natural”?
-So the business
social entrepreneurs—how are they different? They will orient their lives and business activities
according to which values?
-The world
today there are many problems waiting for us to solve together: weakness
shortcomings in education, healthcare opportunities for poor people, gender equality,
create employment for people with disabilities and teach life skills to street children
cities, reducing environmental pollution… There are many ‘systems’ being operated and
at first glance it may appear to have reached a state of balance, but in fact it is
“produce” quite a few problems for society.
From the perspective of
business: wherever there is a problem or need, there is opportunity. But when
social entrepreneurs identify a ‘malfunction’ in a system somewhere in the world
this, instead of adjusting themselves to the status quo, they try to find ways to transform
change the system into another state — one that works better. These
social entrepreneurs' efforts are transformative, not a
soothe, with the power to create a catalyst that helps shape the future.
The
successful people are those who adapt to change and master it
and help others change proactively as well. Therefore, I believe that, in
in life and business, social entrepreneurs all aim for the value of
positive changes—changes that can offer breakthrough solutions for
a dilemma that exists in society, and sometimes the way they create those changes
changes are utterly… unreasonable. Yet that is their strength. They set goals
the ultimate goal of solving society’s dilemmas above the goal of making money.
Of course, money is one of the measures, and their solution must be sufficiently
effectively enough to ‘regenerate’ money.
