"Experiencing a long period of social distancing, young people tend to fall into a state of difficulty, even lack of motivation, confusion, and disorientation. Notwithstanding, when following Ms. Khanh Linh's activities over the past period across different fields and platforms, we are inspired by her consistent enthusiasm and passion. From that experience, can Ms. Khanh Linh share your personal feelings on this issue and suggest 03 things young people need to remember to renovate their morale and build new plans for the future?

Q2: Ms. Khanh Linh - Co Em Trendy | Break Through

Many young people are confused about whether following their career path or partaking in extracurricular activities is considered a contribution to the community.

Follow-up Q2: Ms. Khanh Linh - Co Em Trendy | Break Through

"Move in the "new normal", should we move fast (fast, hurry to do things that have been delayed for a long time) or slowly (carefully observe the situation until it's really okay)?.

Follow-up Q3: Ms. Helly Tong | Movement in "Volatility"

Why do we call "a new normal" when we will probably never be able to return to our pre-pandemic and unresolved challenges like climate change, riots, terrorism, clean water, and environmental pollution? From An, British University Vietnam - BUV.
Q4: Ms. Helly Tong | Right Attitude
-
Each of us sees the world through a distinct lens, which colors and shapes our perceptions. Let's call this lens our (attitude). Carl Jung once said, “Attitude is the psychological readiness to act or react in a certain way.”
