No stagnation after Tet, 'wind up' ready for the new era

Feeling sluggish and reluctant to go to school or work after a long holiday is a common phenomenon for many people, especially after the Lunar New Year holiday - the longest holiday of the year with many eating and entertainment activities.

After Tet, many people often feel lost, empty and hesitant when thinking about returning to work, study and daily life. Physically, the Tet holidays of eating, sleeping and resting at irregular times and hours like every day somewhat affect everyone, especially young people. Therefore, many people are not really ready to start a new year, do not want to get into the routine of work and study. Some young people even choose Tet as the ideal time to "jump jobs".

That was the story of previous years. This year is different. As the last days of the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday are about to pass, in the daily conversations of students, workers, civil servants, public employees, and laborers, there is no longer much talk about being afraid to go to school or work. The feeling of stagnation is also much less.

Instead, students talk a lot about finishing unfinished homework, reading more of their favorite books and stories, and discussing their goals for the next semester.

Workers and laborers excitedly discussed the Tet gifts they had received and thought about the exciting day they would return to the factory. Farmers discussed planting rice, growing vegetables, and restocking livestock to serve the market after Tet.

Civil servants, public employees, and workers in the State sector also look forward to returning to their offices to work, continue to handle work, and carry out new tasks and plans for the new year, especially those units that will merge and streamline their apparatus right after Tet.

Everywhere is filled with spring energy and such an enthusiastic, pioneering atmosphere, perhaps because we have gone through an emotional, tumultuous 2024 and 2025 promises to be a year of strong transformation.

This year is a year of special significance, the year in which the whole country eagerly prepares to enter a new era - the era of national development. And in the era in which the whole nation develops, each individual must also develop.

We must strive to contribute to the strong rise of the entire nation and also to avoid falling behind while the whole country is moving forward. That effort must begin today, from the first days of the new spring.

This spring there is no room for procrastination, no opportunity for laggards.

In the context of science and technology development, businesses optimize production and business activities, each worker and laborer must constantly learn to master machines and new technologies. Students need to be enthusiastic and constantly learn to rise up, meet increasingly difficult requirements to have a good job after graduation.

In the revolution of streamlining the apparatus, each cadre, civil servant and public employee needs to make efforts, innovate and resolutely move forward because if there is still stagnation, opportunities will no longer exist.

A new movie that has caused a big stir is "Upstream of Life" which makes many people ponder because it is very realistic and suitable for the current context. In the movie, the character Cao Chi Luy works diligently for decades in one place, seemingly stable but then comes the time when he is eliminated, suddenly unemployed, the whole family falls into difficulties.

From Cao Chi Luy, people think about workers in the current context and realize that if each individual does not strive to renew themselves, always striving strongly to meet the increasingly high demands of the times, they will eventually be left behind.

Therefore, in this era, this spring, each person must strive and enthusiastically move forward from today, "wind up" for the era of growth, leaving no room for inherent stagnation.
