VIETNAM ENTREPRENEUR DAY – THINKING ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY AND SOCIALS
75 years ago, on October 13th, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh wrote a letter to the Vietnamese Industry and Trade Circle. Up to now, in the period of international economic integration – President Ho’s letter is still valid, demonstrating his correct direction and strategic guidance to asserting the role of the enterprises, entrepreneurs in country construction.
Entrepreneurs in the 4.0 era
In 2004, the Prime Minister decided to take October 13th every year as “Vietnam Entrepreneur Day”, to honor the businessmen who contributed to building the country. Entrepreneurs, they are business owners who pay taxes to the state budget, create jobs for employees, and contribute to ensuring social security and economic development of the country. The team of Vietnamese businessmen is growing stronger, capable and qualified to lead and manage enterprises operating with high quality, efficiency and competitiveness, making an important contribution to the industrial nationalization, modernization and international integration of the country. Not only inspiring the startup movement among young people, the Vietnamese entrepreneurs community has now boldly transformed production and business structure into the fields of production, high technology, education and training, … to meet the requirements of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
Entrepreneurs are not only seen as busy, successful, and wealthy people, but also powerful people, in a position to maneuver hundreds of thousands of employees. Entrepreneurs also often interact with the upper echelons of society, interact with high-ranking officials at home and abroad. Therefore, the position of an entrepreneur is the dream of many people.
However, the life of an entrepreneur is very easy to be imbalanced because of his own activities. First, the entrepreneur’s health is often threatened by overwork. Health is a must for happiness, but they ignore it. Entrepreneurs easily assimilate their career with themselves. If a politician needs a ballot, the entrepreneur needs revenue and profit. An entrepreneur is a person who depends on the number, the market, on the unusual fluctuations of consumer society. Because of the pressure of success, of assimilating themselves to their careers, entrepreneurs are prone to work addiction – a kind of illness that affects the balance of society.
Vietnamese entrepreneurs in the 4.0 era are very focused on health and meditation culture
Today in the West, meditation is indispensable in the practice of life skills for many people, from business people to scientific researchers. Science has also demonstrated a positive connection between meditation and the brain. Around the world, there are many entrepreneurs who are connoisseurs of art and sports, philosophy and history. They love traveling and doing social work. Almost all have a passion for balancing work pressure. And most of the successful people their share of this is related to meditation.
PhoDong Village residents joined the 2017 “Green Yoga” activity to balance work pressure.
Experience shows that, after the meditation period, the entrepreneur is not negligent in his work, but more active and creative, and more balanced in work and private life. The other thing is that entrepreneurs need to see their career as just one aspect of the whole person. It is only a part, even a small part of a deep life that they still have to probe to the bottom. With success, confidence, experience and wealth in hand, entrepreneurs often reach for the whole. They will make use of all their abilities, physically as well as spiritually, to be happy about life which is so vast.
Today’s entrepreneurs understand something very simple: happiness is an inner feeling, it doesn’t come from the outside but from the inside. The external circumstances only create conditions for the inside to react to produce happiness or suffering. The inner response varies with age, experience, and aging. An entrepreneur is a position that has come to a point in my life to find that the less you wish you would be.
Vietnamese entrepreneurs are increasingly engaged in activities for society and community
For a long time, people only go to charity when they are full of plate! Entrepreneurs go to charity, the more obvious, life is not messy about material, people also easily live more generous. Who can understand the power of money more than an entrepreneur! Who knows the full value of money more than an entrepreneur!
Residents of PhoDong Village participated in the community activity “Walking Together for the Poor” in 2018.
Continuing activities for the community, SCC Company kept on accompanying the program “Walk together for the poor” organized by the People’s Committee of Cat Lai Ward, District 2 and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee on October 11th, 2020.
In particular and public aspects, going to charity means bringing money or material to donate, and help others. We are used to seeing businesses do charity and put charity in their activities for the community. So familiar that no one will be surprised if they see the numbers “in the form of huge”, the units calculated by hundred million are devoted to charity work by company A and company B. This enterprise builds houses of gratitude for the poor in the company’s operation area. The other business gathers basic necessities, books, and warm clothes for children in remote areas. Other businesses go to visit, support for love villages or nursing homes … Entrepreneurs who go to charity have the right to be proud, they have “heart” but also “power”. It is a place over their people which is also a blessing for many other unlucky identities.
The Company SCC always joins hands for “sustainable development with the community”

Congratulations Vietnam Entrepreneurs Day, wish them courage, overcome difficulties, and reap success
Being an entrepreneur has hundreds of thousands of jobs, everything comes from meeting partners, to meeting reports, and time with family … Being an entrepreneur means sacrificing many things like personal, private life for work. However, a successful entrepreneur is someone who can balance his life, steer his business and lead his teammates. And to become a successful entrepreneur, don’t exhaust yourself or force yourself to make choices.
As Mr. Tran Viet Anh – General Director of SCC – once shared, “There are always four types of temperament “Quality” in a person: hot-tempered, flexible, calm, and thoughtful. And these four gases are always unstable. However, there will be 1 “outstanding” aura, and it also determines a person’s “official” aura or temperament. In management activities, the leader needs to understand the temperament of those below. This is very important. Because when the leader understands the temperament, they will use the subordinate more effectively.”
Mr. Tran Viet Anh – General Director of SCC Company shared about the meaning of “QUALITY” in the Eve Gala.
And so, an enterprise that wants to develop sustainably also needs to create its own “temperament”, and that temperament of the business is also a “quality” that shows its vision, expectation and belief, unanimity of the entire large family.
Take time for yourself every morning to wake up, spend more time relaxing and relaxing before starting work. Read books, listen to advice from great people ahead to form better habits for your career. And set a minimum of family time and stick to that rule strictly. Be as devoted to your family as you would when running a project that will determine the survival of your company. If your family is precious, if you work hard for relatives and community, let them stand by, accompany, and support you in life. Because they are the solid fulcrum to help you develop your career, set achievements in both work and position in society.
On the occasion of Vietnam Entrepreneur Day, we would like to send our best wishes and hope that all entrepreneurs are always healthy to build a stable and prosperous economy for the country.
SCC.
