Entrepreneurship is making your own way.

At the family reunion on Thanh Minh Festival, my uncle happily announced to everyone that two young men in the family had successfully started a business.

A man named Minh was born into a family with a tradition of carpentry. Since childhood, his father taught him how to choose wood and how to meticulously carve each line to create sophisticated products. After graduating from university, he chose to continue his family's wood workshop. However, instead of doing it the old way, he improved the technique, expanded the scale and combined online business to bring products to a wider market. Thanks to that, his wood workshop has grown more and more.

Mr. Vuong, on the other hand, has a different path. He is passionate about technology and has always cherished the idea of ​​developing an application that helps customers design and order furniture of their own choice. He has no family background in this field, nor much capital, but he is determined to find investors and establish his own business. After many failures, his application was finally accepted by the market and attracted many customers.

When my uncle announced that, the group of young people in their family had a heated debate about starting a business and starting a business. They thought that my uncle and many others were confusing these two concepts. Minh's case was starting a business, continuing an existing path, improving and developing it in a more modern direction, but not destroying the old foundation. As for Vuong, starting a business, creating a new path, facing many risks but also full of potential and opportunities.

One person after another expressed their opinions, seeing that it was too noisy, the head of the family stood up to explain and emphasized that whether choosing to start a business or start a business, both young men in the family were pursuing their dreams. One chose the safe path and developed based on an existing foundation, the other accepted the challenge to create something new. Each choice has its own advantages, the important thing is to understand your strengths and be ready to devote yourself to the chosen path.

Every adult has an aspiration - the aspiration to build a career, to stand on their own two feet and make a mark in life. But there are two distinct paths that people often choose: establishing a career and starting a business. At first glance, these two concepts seem similar, but in fact, they have very different nuances, reflecting how each person faces challenges and defines success.

Establishing a career is a persistent journey for those who seek stability. They can start by working for hire, accumulating experience, then building their own career along a predetermined path. It can be a stable job, a solid position in society, or a family business that they inherit and develop. Establishing a career is building the future on the foundation of what is already there, with more certainty and less risk.

Entrepreneurship is the path for those who do not want to follow the paths that others have laid out. Entrepreneurship is about paving your own way, building from scratch, creating something that has never existed before. Entrepreneurs accept risks and face failure, because they believe that every stumble is an opportunity to go further.

Over the years, Hai Duong province has always paid special attention to the development of young people, especially the issue of starting a business. Many innovative start-up models have helped many young people escape poverty and stabilize their lives.

However, with the current “phenomenon” of startups, more and more students are dropping out of school or graduating and then dropping out of college to start a business. Many of them look down on working for someone else with the idea that “if you don’t build your own dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs” (Tony Gaskins). In particular, some young people are influenced by stories and successful, famous people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg - people who dropped out of school and still achieved great success. However, not everyone can succeed that way.

In the future, when implementing the arrangement and merger of administrative units at all levels, many workers will have to face changes, even job loss.

Starting a business has never been an easy journey, but this could be the time for those at a career crossroads to find a new path.

The government has been implementing many policies to support small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those starting from scratch. From start-up support funds, skills training programs, to simplifying administrative procedures - all are creating conditions for each individual to turn ideas into reality.

More importantly, the entrepreneurial spirit must come from each individual, with a creative spirit, daring to think and daring to do.
