I am over 40 years old this year, have a wife and two children in primary and secondary school, and the whole family lives in a luxury apartment in Saigon.
One thing these people have in common is that most of them are office workers, with stable jobs for many years, they rarely or even never change jobs.
On the contrary, those who graduated from school like me, like me, are very different.
A very different perspective between me and the above group of friends is that while most people prioritize staying long-term at one organization because they want stability, I choose to challenge myself with many new environments.

Many people may think I love money and run after money, but I have never considered that bad.
Entering middle age, while many of my friends began to complain about their boring work and life, I was completely as energetic as the first day I graduated from school.
I don’t write this to brag about myself, but just want to give a little advice to those who are losing direction and motivation to work in middle age, as well as send a message to young people who are starting to work.
