You ask, we answer: “How do you identify your Identity, Love, and Passion?”
Duc:
IDENTITY: “Simply I could say that for me, it took travelling to almost 40 countries to find my weaknesses and strengths, what I like and what I do not like. But basically by experiencing your limits, you find your identity. The hardship, the bitterness, the edge of comfort zone, all these help you to find who you are.”
LOVE: “And love? Finding true love is hard, and actually you can’t find it. It always comes in the most unexpected moments, when you don’t imagine it would eventually come. For me, I had to talk to about 500 women in order to find the one that I can say yes, this is my soulmate :). To be clear: I said talk to, not do other things :).”
PASSION: “And I also find my passion by trying to do many activities and many internships at many organizations. My current job is the 8th job I have had. Which means I’ve had to go through around 25 interviews, which means I’ve had to send out around 150 CVs of myself :).”
Linh:
IDENTITY: “I think this is the most difficult question of all the time that I have ever been asked. I see myself as a global citizen, who has a Vietnamese appearance. Moreover, my personalities are defined by cultures, values, and places that I have lived in and blended myself in. Of course, I was born as a Vietnamese, thus I have some Vietnamese values and traits. I’ve spent time in New Zealand and the Czech Republic. These places rich up my perceptions, behaviours, and understanding towards other nations and cultures. Ultimately, my friends say that I’m a “banana” ^_^.”
LOVE: “I’ve been together with my beautiful girlfriend, who comes from Czech Republic, for more than 2 years already. Honestly speaking, I didn’t expect this to happen. It was a spontaneous coincidence. We talked on a tram while we were on the way back to our dormitory. Then I thought that was it. Unexpectedly, I met her a few more times in our school cafeteria. Then what happened just happened. I guess I can’t really give you guys a manual of “How to find love”. What I can tell you is that the best thing is to stay true to who you are, and to put all the effort in doing what you want to do. Ultimately, the person with whom you feel right every moment you are together will come.”
PASSION: “I am a very sociable person, I love meeting new people, listening to their stories, doing sports, and travelling with my lady. My passion of spreading positivities, sympathy and empathy helps me going through different challenges. I believe that when you’ll do something good to people who aren’t as fortunate as you are, the world will become a better place.”
Huong:
IDENTITY: “Now, after having lived in different corners of the world, I have a clearer idea of who I am than ever before. As I grew up simultaneously in two different worlds – I went to a Czech school but I still had to follow the “Vietnamese rules” in my family – I felt as if my personality was split in two. Nonetheless, there was something in both cultures that I could not identify myself with, and journeys to faraway countries helped me to find the puzzle pieces of my identity. When I smiled a lot and had a good word for everyone in the Czech Republic, I was considered fake and weird. “Why are you always so nice to people?” they would ask me. But Argentina showed me that it was totally fine to be nice to the others and to be as happy as you can be because everyone I met in Argentina was so wonderful and cheerful, even though they might have had less than the people in Europe. I believe that everyone of us has a piece of himself/herself that does not fit in his/her culture, and it is totally fine! Don’t worry if you’re considered weird or unusual in your country, because trust me, at another place in this large would, you would be considered totally normal.”
LOVE: “Love is what I had been craving for for a very long time, until I met my amazing current husband who taught me that love should not be chased, because chasing love would always give you frustration and insecurity. However, if you love yourself first, take care of yourself first, and do whatever to please yourself, you will find a person who truly deserves you. Because if you don’t take a good care of yourself, nobody else will. My philosophy of love does not know any borders, and I sincerely believe that everyone in this world is worth loving and caring about.”
PASSION: “My real passion is in constant learning about new places, new people, and new cultures. It’s a fashion in the Eastern world to ‘Americanize’ or ‘Europeanize’, but the authenticity and tradition are indeed the real treasures for me! When I come to a new place, I’m always thrilled to learn about local people’s way of living, behaving, thinking. I love taking home stories to tell and faces to remember.”
