<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The year 2018 began with an \u2018across Vietnam\u2019 journey, visiting the community\u2019s \u2018strongholds\u2019 nationwide. I put \u2018across Vietnam\u2019 in quotation marks because I focus only on effectiveness, without being particular about the mode of travel (not walking across Vietnam, although I value that experience). Everywhere I went, there were \u2018loved ones.\u2019 I immersed myself in the community, spread values, and received love. Every place had its own characteristics, and its community welcomed me with its own \u2018specialties.\u2019 For example, in C\u1ea7n Th\u01a1, I could freely catch ducks, wade through ponds, and climb trees with the C\u1ea7n Th\u01a1 Yuppies. Truly unforgettable experiences!<\/p>\n
The next \u201cacross Vietnam\u201d journey fulfilled a promise made at the beginning of the year: spreading the renowned \u201cJourney\u201d training program, X-Startup@Social (the community version) and X-Startup@Student (the student version, with my \u201cdisciples\u201d as trainers), nationwide. The program reached Da Nang, Saigon, C\u1ea7n Th\u01a1, Bu\u00f4n Ma Thu\u1ed9t, Hanoi, Kh\u00e1nh Ho\u00e0, and Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i, impacting 1.700+ entrepreneurs and startup founders across the country. The Yuppies Vietnam Entrepreneurship & Leadership Community has become an exceptionally influential community nationwide, through concrete positive social impacts that thousands of people have worked tirelessly together to create for their local areas, rather than formality or a movement for its own sake. In total, YUP Education sponsored more than 9 billion dong in tuition for the next generation of entrepreneurs nationwide. Personally, conservatively but realistically speaking, I contributed at least 165.000 Usd based on my market rates for expert advice, speaking, and training. Entrepreneurship Ambassadors nationwide collectively contributed as many as 13.200 hours of service for a Vietnam that is a better place to live.<\/p>\n
The next \u201cacross Vietnam\u201d journey involved investments in businesses nationwide, bringing the total number of businesses & organizations in TMT Group to 18. Most operate nationwide, and some take their products around the world.<\/p>\n
The next \u201cacross Vietnam\u201d journey was spreading JOB (Journey of Books), with a \u201crunning start\u201d of 8 bookcases nationwide. Meanwhile, Light Charity \u201cran fast\u201d immediately (at the speed of light?). Light Charity organized Light One \u2014 codename: 1.000.000+ garments of love \u2014 nationwide, donating 200.000+ garments and creating positive Impact for 10.000+ people. The Dream of Angel Feet Fund is caring for and covering all monthly medical costs for 21 children with blood cancer nationwide. After its initial success, Light One continues to spread, while Light Charity turns toward its most important project of 2019: Light Two.<\/p>\n
In 2018, I managed to visit only 4 countries. One trip was with my parents and family to see cherry blossoms in Japan in month 4; Japan was also the only country I revisited. The other 3 countries were all first visits: Cambodia in month 1, when I led TMT Group members and the Yuppies Community on an unforgettable \u2018Pirate Journey\u2019; Hongkong in month 7 as an invited guest at the Forbes Asia 30 under 30 Summit; and Indonesia with my students to research the market, also visiting \u2018legendary\u2019 Bali in month 12. Although I traveled less in 2018 than in other years, I still completed my goal of \u2018exploring 3 new countries every year\u2019 (so I can see the whole world before the end of my life).<\/p>\n
The final \u201cacross Vietnam\u201d trip took place just before the 2018 National Yuppies Summit. I visited communities nationwide at year\u2019s end and called for \u201cone Vietnam\u201d to look toward Da Nang, the \u201centrepreneurial heart of 2018.\u201d Da Nang was chosen to host the 2018 Summit because its measured Social Impact indicators were the highest nationwide.<\/p>\n
The year 2018 ended with a National Entrepreneurship Convention bringing together, to be precise, more than 1.000 people from across the country at year\u2019s end. Of course, the program will have many improvements next year, but the value it created for participants and the way it brought thousands together led a friend of mine to remark: \u2018Organizing a thousand-person event in Hanoi or Saigon is ordinary enough. But getting thousands from provinces and cities all over the country to make the journey and converge on \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng, during the extremely busy year-end period, even at the very end of the year to welcome the Gregorian New Year together, with most being people with respectable jobs, managers, and entrepreneurs\u2026 that is truly difficult, extraordinary, a miracle.\u2019 A miracle, but we did it!<\/p>\n
I began 2018 by declaring and promising our community that 2018 would mark my 30th birthday, and that I would overcome the \u201ccrisis of turning 30\u201d (laughs) by making 2018 \u201cA Year of Impacts\u201d\u2014a year of creating social impact. Now those promises have all been fulfilled and those hopes have come true, while the ideal of \u201cMake Vietnam A Better Place To Live\u201d still lies ahead. Looking back, I realize that 2018 could also be \u201cA Year of Miracles\u201d\u2014a year of extraordinary achievements created by the entrepreneurial spirit, the Yuppie essence, commitment, action, nonjudgment, abstaining from or limiting alcohol, creativity, discipline, systems thinking, love, following ideals rather than idols, stepping outside our comfort zones, practicing gratitude, and fully living out the meaning of the 2 words \u201cPh\u1ee5ng s\u1ef1\u201d (Service) and the guiding principle \u201cWe are One Yup.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thank you & Gratitude for a 2018 of Miracles and Social Value. Thank you & Gratitude that we met and worked together. Let us make not just 2018 but our entire lives \u201cA Life of Miracles.\u201d<\/p>\n
