Recently, at an event, Hoang Nam Tien, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of FPT University, was asked a question by a student: “With your experience and what you have done for 31 years, why don’t you start your own business and become an entrepreneur instead of working for someone else?”
Mr. Tien humorously responded: “To be frank, it’s because of Mr. Binh (Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Corporation). He is extremely talented, and whenever I try to make a move, he finds a way to conquer me.”
Mr. Tien recalled that when he was 31 years old, after much contemplation, he decided to meet with Chairman Truong Gia Binh to resign. Immediately, Mr. Binh suggested: “Resigning is fine, but you should consider pursuing further education. Since you have been working for 7-8 years, it would be beneficial to take some time to study.” Intrigued by the idea, Mr. Tien went to Boston, USA, for his studies. He realized the importance of continuous learning to remain valuable wherever he went.
“The second time I wanted to resign, Mr. Binh advised me to switch careers and become the CEO of a real estate company. I was thrilled about this new opportunity, so I abandoned my plans to resign. After working in real estate for about five years, Mr. Binh noticed my enthusiasm waning and appointed me as the Chairman of FPT Software.”, Mr. Tien shared.
Mr. Tien believes that each of these transitions was like a personal startup. He humorously added, “Maybe I’ll follow in the footsteps of the KFC founder and start my own business in my 50s. Why not?” Mr. Tien’s response reveals a secret to success that young people should emulate: embrace lifelong learning, adapt to new trends, and fearlessly take on challenges and new knowledge to get closer to success.
In the comments below the post, many people expressed their admiration and left thoughtful remarks:
– I admire Mr. Tien’s decision to pursue further education at the age of 31.
– What a brilliant question and an even more brilliant answer.
– Whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur, what matters is the value you bring to yourself, your family, and society. Idealism and knowledge are more precious than a salary.
