[Vnbiz] Staying to be a leader

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear Sister Thu Huong, Brother Giang & CACC,

Thanks for the notes.  Brother Giang has a very good answer to sister Thu
Huong's good question.  The best way to deal with everyone around is to stay
your course and prove to everyone that you win and succeed by standing firm
on your principles.

Of course, you always want to share with your friends what you believe in
your heart.  After all, that is what friendship is all about--sharing.  But
keep in mind that people only hear what their heart wants to hear, at the
time it wants to hear.  You may be 100-percent correct and may be the most
persuasive talker in the world, but if the time is not right for your friend
yet, he will not understand what you say.  A very simple point, sometimes a
person can appreciate it right away, sometimes it takes him 10 years to
understand it, sometimes he never understands it all his life.  That has
nothing to do with the complexity of the subject matter; it has a lot to do
with the heart.

"Understanding" is not a matter of intellectuality, but a matter of the
heart.  Consider this ancient quote: "You may be hearing but never
understanding, seeing but never perceiving, for your heart has become
callous."  When our heart is right, we understand a point, when our heart is
not right, we simply cannot understand it.

So you may want to share a word or two with your friends, but that is
all.  Let them make their choice.  Don't spend too much time trying to
convince them.  If they get it, they get it.  If they don't get it, they
don't get it.  Too much trying and pushing doesn't help and may only annoy
people.

So, the best way is to stay your course.  And people will learn quietly from
your action.

Great day, Thu Huong, Giang & all.

Hoanh
