Another door opens

Hung used to be admired by many people when he was always at the top of his class. After graduating, he was accepted into a government agency and quickly promoted to a leadership position. Hung's career took off like a kite in the wind, making his family and relatives proud. However, now the "restructuring" storm has hit, and Hung is on the downsizing list. His world suddenly collapsed.

Hung stood in front of the mirror, staring at his reflection: a middle-aged man with graying hair, a gaunt face, and sunken eyes from lack of sleep. He had once been the pride of his family, a role model for his younger colleagues. And now...

One rainy afternoon, Hung sat alone in a familiar coffee shop. Looking through the window, he saw an old man selling lottery tickets under the porch. He was trembling as he counted each lottery ticket, his face wrinkled with age. He approached the old man and asked:

- Old man, it's raining like this, why don't you go home instead of standing here? The lottery tickets are all wet.

Hearing the young man's sudden question, the old man honestly replied:

- Life is not always what we want. But we have to try. Who knows, maybe when it rains I will sell all the lottery tickets.

Hung sat down next to the old man, and the two of them watched the rain. The old man told stories about his poor childhood, about the hard days of making a living, but he was always optimistic and loved life. Listening to the old man's story, Hung suddenly felt warm inside. He understood that life ahead had many challenges, and he was ready to face them all.

From that day on, Hung changed. He diligently exercised every morning, jogged around the park, breathed fresh air and felt his body was healthier. He read books about business and soft skills. He participated in small business projects. Hung was more confident and loved life more.

One day, Hung received a call from a startup company. They were looking for someone with business experience to develop the market. Hung came to the interview with a completely different mindset. He was no longer the arrogant "giant" but a sincere, enthusiastic and ambitious man.

When asked about his work experience, Hung did not avoid the fact that he had been fired. He frankly shared his successes and failures. He listened attentively to the interviewer's questions and answered confidently.

Hung found a new job. The salary is not as high as his old job, but he feels happy and full of energy.
