Giving gifts to parents, no matter how much is not enough

At the age of 20, Khanh Vy said that it was still too early to describe you as a successful person. At the age of 25, what would you say about yourself?

- I don't dare say I'm successful. I'm just someone who likes to learn from others.

Many people say Khanh Vy is lucky. Before determining your direction and achieving your current success, did you ever encounter difficulties?

- When we start something, we always struggle and doubt ourselves. I used to not know which direction I should go, and I tried different part-time jobs. But I think we need to try to know what we like. Any path is fine, as long as it brings value to the people around us.

Who inspired Khanh Vy to realize that?

- Since I was a child, my parents always "pulled me down to the ground" with compliments. Gradually, I formed the mindset of correcting what was wrong and continuing to develop what was right, not meaning "if I can do this, it means I am talented".

- Once, sitting in a coffee shop, I talked to a teacher. My teacher said that at that time I was doing very well, but if I only focused on making money, I would be eliminated in 1-2 years. He advised me to do something that creates value, that is the sustainable path.

How does family education affect Khanh Vy?

- I am "lucky" to have a close relationship with my parents. Until now, I can still sit down to drink beer, eat grilled squid, "drink" and confide in my father. My family has a rather traditional method of educating children, but still updated with modern aspects and not too conservative.

Being famous at an early age, Khanh Vy has enough income to buy land and cars for her parents. How does that feel?

My parents are happy when I share the family's finances, but what I do is nothing compared to the sacrifices my parents have made for the three of us. So no matter what, it never feels like enough (laughs).

- My language of love is giving gifts, so I really like spending money, shopping, and giving gifts to my family. Sometimes the value of the gift is not important, but the care and thought I have for my loved ones.

I can't please everyone.

The professor said, "If you want to take someone else's heart, give your heart in exchange completely." That means that the heart is not proof of love, but completeness is proof of love and sincerity.

My mother always taught me, "If you want to take someone else's heart, give your heart in exchange." But recently, I interviewed Professor Phan Van Truong, a trade advisor to the French Government, a person I admire very much. The professor said that the saying is true, but not enough.

People often say "rich youngest child, poor youngest child", what about Khanh Vy's family?

I think living in a family with 3 sisters is very fun, we are always close and love each other. I also realize that I need to make an effort to help and spend more time with my parents because my two sisters got married quite early.

When my mother was pregnant with me, my family expected me to be a boy, but unfortunately (laughs). But just kidding, every child is precious.

Many times I fall into a state of forcing myself to "be happy", always ignoring and suppressing the tired emotions inside, burying myself in work. That is not good because at some point everything will explode.

That moment was the last straw that woke me up.

I used to think that emotions were bigger than me, that emotions controlled me. But now I know that emotions are smaller than me and I can adjust and balance my thoughts and reactions to everything.

If you have a boyfriend, what does Khanh Vy expect from him?

1. I like people who have a providing mindset. Providing here is not about money, but someone who can help me solve problems, help me refer to good thinking, learn more. At that time, I am also the one who is willing to stand by, trust and accompany them.
2. What does Khanh Vy think about the "pressure to overcome happiness" of generation Z?
3. Each generation has its own happiness and suffering. I think generation Z has many choices, which is a favorable condition but also has disadvantages, making us wonder what to do.
4. In a conversation with Mr. Lai Van Sam, he also told me about this. In his time, there was only A or B, just go and then think about it. Now, young people have A, B, C, X, Y, Z - too many choices. That is why many young people are not satisfied and pressure about the path they are taking is inevitable.

In the past, I read comments from netizens and doubted myself. Later, I realized that I can't please everyone. There will be things I don't know, don't know, that's normal in life. I can only try harder every day.

Of course, I'm still learning.

For me, I think a reasonable solution: Whoever invites, pays (laughs). In a relationship, whoever pays for the date is fine, as long as they are satisfied, comfortable and ready for it.

For me, instead of looking for perfection, I look for compatibility. What kind of person I am will attract the same energy frequency. Economically, whatever level I am, I will attract similar people. We will always look for the right piece for ourselves, so there will be no measure or common denominator.

I think every girl is beautiful in her own way and has the right to choose the type of person she wants.
