Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam advises students to live for good things.

Human values ​​are always around us

Before speaking, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam spent a lot of time listening to the students. His simple, dynamic and friendly demeanor quickly helped to bridge the gap between the young people and the politician.

With the question: What do you understand about Humanities, what will you do to spread Humanistic values ​​in life, students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities shared diverse and genuine perspectives.

Nguyen Thi Thanh Hoa (3rd year student, Faculty of Tourism) said: one of the most humane activities of students today is volunteering for the community. These activities guide young union members to a good lifestyle, knowing how to love and help people.

Sharing this view, Tran Duc Anh (student of K60, Faculty of History) expressed his love and pride in wearing the green volunteer shirt, working side by side with the Youth Union and Student Association to carry out meaningful summer volunteer campaigns.

Nguyen Thao Nguyen (second year student, Faculty of Sociology) said: you see the human values ​​of life through very simple daily actions: students study hard, do not violate regulations, maintain public hygiene... Furthermore, students need to be aware of using the knowledge they have learned to do well at work after graduation, directly contributing to the construction and development of the country.

Proud to be a student of a university with a rich tradition, Nguyen Khanh Toan (student of Management Science) said that he has learned more about humanity at this school than anywhere else. It is a school that has had more than 1,300 teachers and students directly participating in the resistance war against the US to save the country, with heroic martyrs such as Nguyen Van Thac, Chu Cam Phong, Le Anh Xuan... And now, he sees human values ​​spreading in life through the examples of teachers who are dedicating themselves to the classroom every day.

Phan Thi Ngoc (student of K60, Faculty of Oriental Studies) is a female student from a poor commune in Lang Son province, bordering China. She brings a touching story about the hardships in a poor countryside with superstitious and backward customs, limited understanding of society and life. Luckily, she was sent to study at a provincial boarding school for ethnic minorities, then became a new student of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ngoc had the opportunity to broaden her knowledge and understand more good values ​​of life. She confided: at the crossroads of my life, I chose the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, because the sacred name "Humanities" evoked in me the belief that I would bring modern, advanced and humane knowledge back to my village, to help improve the lives of my parents and relatives.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam: Live your life to the fullest for good things, and care about everyone.

In addition to positive perspectives, many young people also boldly discussed with the Deputy Prime Minister their very real concerns about the future of the Social Sciences and Humanities field they are pursuing. Nguyen Thu Hang (student of K60 majoring in Public Relations) asked: We are students studying at the school, after graduating we really want to contribute our efforts to the country, but currently there are many students graduating but cannot find jobs, cannot do work in the right field. So what solutions does the State and Government have to solve this problem?

Nguyen Viet Phuong (student of K60, Faculty of Philosophy) said: I love majors in culture, history and humanities, but currently basic sciences do not seem to be supported by society? Many people think that these majors are difficult to find jobs, have low incomes, and are not respected by society? Viet Phuong frankly asked the Deputy Prime Minister: What will the Government leaders do to help students of these majors have more confidence in their majors in the future, that they will be respected and be able to make a living from their profession?

Sympathizing and sharing the thoughts of young people, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam said: young people today are much better than the previous generation and they dare to speak out their concerns.

The Deputy Prime Minister affirmed: “I would like to tell you that today I come here to tell you that the fields of study that you are pursuing and working in are extremely important”. Because a country that wants to develop needs strong scientific and technological potential. But is it enough to be strong in technology and applied sciences? We have a glorious thousand-year history, and victory over natural disasters and enemies is only thanks to technology? If there is only economic development, will people be happy? The Deputy Prime Minister advised students to have confidence in the field of study they choose, because the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities aim to build good values, positive emotions and thoughts, which are the sustainable foundation for a happy life.

Live life to the fullest for the good things!

In response to students’ concerns about employment, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his opinion: “My friends, don’t grow old before your time. You have worked very hard through 12 years of studying to get into university. Go there with the mindset of living life to the fullest, studying to the fullest, “burning” yourself out. Don’t compare yourself with those around you. Always ask yourself what you have learned from your teachers, friends, books and life?” When you constantly learn and try your best, you will naturally find a place in society after graduating.

The Deputy Prime Minister shared: He himself is also working in a completely different field and profession. He studied at the Faculty of Information Technology, University of Technology, but then switched to working in foreign affairs. He humorously said: "I was not trained to be a Deputy Prime Minister!". After graduating 10 years ago, he was still commented on for not having good social communication skills. Until he moved to a new position, he was forced to change and learn to grow up.

The Deputy Prime Minister asked: How can our country solve the employment problem? The economy is difficult to develop, there are few investors, few factories, no office plants, so how can there be jobs? The government must of course have a general policy to encourage production development, improve the business and investment environment. The same goes for social community enterprises. But for a country to develop, the participation of the whole society is needed. Each individual participates in his or her proper position. If we all do such things, society will develop. Then jobs will come. Social sciences and humanities will be valued.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam advised students to live for the good things in life. Although life has good things and bad things. The important thing is that each person needs to constantly try and know how to live for the people around them. "The most meaningful thing in life, at some point, you will understand, is to bring good things to the people around you" - Deputy Prime Minister said.

Those good things can be just a smile, a sincere gesture of concern. If you can do something good for the people around you, then do it. What you do can be seen correctly or not, even misunderstood, but that's okay. The important thing is that you do it with a good motive, for others, for the community and society. Giving good things, we will also receive other good things in return.

For students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Deputy Prime Minister suggested that in addition to studying well and doing good scientific research, you need to actively participate in social activities, and through your actions contribute to multiplying and spreading good humanistic values ​​in life.

Prof. Dr. People's Teacher Nguyen Van Khanh - Principal of the School presented outstanding scientific research works of the School's staff to Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam.
