Hello World!

Hello World!


After so long, more than 10 years, that I have kept a low-key profile, I would like to be open to the world again by starting my personal blog. 

This new beginning will be more exciting and deeply thoughtful than my previous blogs when I was a student in Hanoi, Vietnam. I stopped blogging a long time ago, as life has changed so much for a young; things came and gone, people came and gone, and my heart and soul have been transformed by traces and scars.

I took a long time to ponder life and the world and untangle myself from the tangled things that came to me. Now, as I become more apparent in my mind and purer in spirit, this is the time to give back my thinking to the universe.

Because this is the first post, I want to insert a beautiful image. Looking for a photo on my laptop, I found only the picture of Prince Tran Hung Dao - a famous general in Vietnamese history, during the TRAN dynasty.





This great general led the Vietnamese people to defeat three times the invasion of the Mongolian empire, the most powerful army in the world in the 13th century. Being Vietnamese, holding this pride in my heart, but not arrogant, I keep his photo on my laptop. So by reading these lines, you know that this blog is unmistakably 100% written by a Vietnamese, who grew up in Vietnam, lived in France for 9 years, and now living in New York City. Being abroad for more than 10 years, I never forget my origin and Vietnamese culture, although I also respect and admire the beauty of other cultures. 

As I studied only 4 years at Hanoi University of Science and Technology and spent most of my youth in the West, I struggled to identify myself among different communities and international friends. My concepts have been challenged as they have been exposed to other things that work as they are but not in the same way in Vietnamese society. Fortunately and magically, from being lost at first, I started to recognize myself more deeply and clearly than before. Being myself, I respire fresh energy and innovation again. 


Hope each word in this blog will carry the vitality as spring always comes back after a cold winter.

Vietnam: Rising Dragon: Tackling Corruption, Empowering Change, and Building a Prosperous Future

Image
In the book  Vietnam: Rising Dragon , author Bill Hayton presents an in-depth look at Vietnam’s extraordinary evolution from a closed, centrally planned economy to one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets. Since the implementation of the  Đổi Mới  (Renovation) reforms in the 1980s, Vietnam has experienced rapid economic growth and modernization. This shift has opened the door to new opportunities, yet it has also introduced structural challenges, from rising inequality to issues of governance, including systemic corruption. Stability has remained a cornerstone of Vietnam’s progress, and the government has carefully managed change to maintain this stability, recognizing the importance of a controlled, gradual approach to reform.  This article reflects my thoughts after reading Vietnam: Rising Dragon by Bill Hayton. It explores the roots of Vietnam’s successes, the current challenges it faces—particularly with corruption—and how strategic, well-paced reforms could...

Book Review: From Third World to First by Lee Kuan Yew – Strategic Lessons for Vietnam’s Leap to Prosperity

Image
  How does a nation with no natural resources, a volatile geopolitical position, and limited land become one of the richest countries in the world? In From Third World to First , Lee Kuan Yew reveals the transformative strategies that turned Singapore into a global success story. For Vietnam—an emerging economy with immense potential—this book offers not just inspiration, but actionable strategies. However, not all lessons can be applied as-is. Let’s explore the most strategic points and how they can guide Vietnam’s journey to becoming a developed country. 1. Anti-Corruption as the Bedrock of National Development Singapore’s Approach : Lee Kuan Yew viewed corruption as a cancer that stifles growth, erodes trust, and diverts resources. Singapore attacked it head-on by creating the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) and implementing strict laws. Civil servants were paid competitive salaries to minimize temptation, and high-profile cases were prosecuted to set examples. Vie...

My Take on Why Nations Fail: A Personal Review and Critique of What Really Drives National Success

Image
Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson’s book,  Why Nations Fail , offers a bold argument about the roots of prosperity and poverty. The authors place institutions —political and economic systems—at the heart of their thesis, arguing that nations with inclusive institutions thrive, while those with extractive institutions stagnate. Inclusive institutions empower people, promote innovation, and ensure fairness. Extractive institutions, by contrast, concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few, suppressing creativity and opportunity. This framework is compelling, but it simplifies a far more complex reality. In my view, institutions are essential—perhaps one of the most important components in the puzzle of national success—but they are not the only factor. Like Principal Component Analysis (PCA -  a method that takes a large set of data and reduces it to a few key components that explain the most variation ) in machine learning, institutions are just one principal compo...
