New Normal After Covid-19

Interviewer: The growing COVID-19 crisis still threatens all over the world, transformative shifts taking place in the world order, personal habits changing. It can be said this is a year we have never faced with so much pressure and anxiety like no other in recent memory. Difficulties make us become more flexible to adapt, find equilibrium and come up with better comprehensive solutions. What is the first priority in your life when you have been forced to do something different than before?
Le Thi Thu: Since the covid-19 outbreak, my daily schedule has changed but I realize that health is more important; therefore, my priority is doing more exercise to build a good immune system; thanks to that, I am able to overcome difficulites. At the same time, I encourage my family to be physically active to take care of their body and health.

Interviewer: Fortunately Vietnam has gradually eased the social distance after April 22nd , almost activities return to normal, the 1st July, Vietnam reopen the international flight route, threats is still lurking, so do you have any potential actions for “New Normal” at home and at work?
Le Thi Thu: As far as I know, many countries have succeeded in slowing the outbreaks; however, the situation is unpredictable. Therefore,  I stay aware of preventing myself, my family and others from the spread Covid-19 by following the public health measures to COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from some common policy actions such as wearing face masks in public, cleaning hands often, avoiding  close contact with others…etc., at workplace, we are encouraged to follow the rules and together stay safe.

Interviewer: what is your "preventing & fighting" plan in post-pandemic financial management?
Le Thi Thu: Because of "the unavoidable declines in economy as the result of pandamic, "more saving, less spending" is my temporary response with difficulties; and for a long journey ahead for “NEW NORMAL”, we have to learn new things to catch up with the new unpredictable changes of the world.

Interviewer: In case, work affects in your own life during Covid-19 crisis, what do you do to find balance?
Le Thi Thu: We're in a shared struggle to protect both lives and livelihoods. We know that this is much more than a medical challenge and finance at risk. While working from home because of the epidemic, I changed the habit to be more positive, focusing on quality rather than quantity, I learned and upgraded my skills and technology, I think this is a booming period for Technological skill development, in which working way, online shopping,  communication and  income are probably dependent on technology.

Interviewer: Come back after a hard day of work, how did you spend your time during the outbreak of Covid-19?
Le Thi Thu: Indoor activities are interesting as well, I enjoy spending my time cooking, studying with kids. We do drawing, reading and workout together.

Interviewer:    How to show love to your little kids?
Le Thi Thu: I do loving my kids out loud, never too much saying beautiful words everyday, for me, I always take extra minutes at bedtime with kids to make them feel safe and secure by hugging and kissing.

Awareness Of A "Sustainable" Lifestyle

Plastic trash could top 13 billion tons by 2050, and recycling doesn’t help much if human beings don’t take any action to minimize the current plastic consumption. In our company, OVC staffs are aware of this matter and start replacing plastic items with utensils made from glass, stainless steel, or porcelain to contain daily drinks and food; canvas bags, pretty paper bags are substituted for plastic bags. If we are aware of a "sustainable" lifestyle, we are contributing to protect the environment apart from countless benefits for ourselves and our family. Not much, just little changes to our daily life routines, we are making the world better.

As a young M&E Engineer in a Construction Company, what do you think you need do to help the environment?

Ta Van Huy: Things we can do at home or at work from now on, to save the heart of the Planet!
   - Do not use disposable bottles for drinking water in meeting or picnic, as an alternative we use reusable containers
  - Do not use plastic bags, one-use wipes in any activities in our company, at meetings  and at home. Alternatively, biodegradable garbage bags made of Organic materials such as ANECO bags.
  - Encourage everyone in our company to aware of using products made from sustainable materials, contributing to creating a sustainable lifestyle.

In Japan, and many developed countries worldwide completely use solar panels to reduce electricity consumption. As a manager of the M&E design team, which solutions  should we advised customers to save energy and protect the environment?

As a Construction company, we care about the “Green Buildings”, friendly environment, we can provide sustainable solutions for our clients such as chillers with high module, Ice-bank cold storage, HRV heat recovery system or installing systems using solar panel - the key to a clean energy future, CO2-free, low operating costs, or wind power battery, geothermal energy.

Interviewer: Could you tell me, how does your  normal day looks like?
Huy Manh: Well, I usually get up at six in the morning, after 15 mins of exercise, I will prepare  my breakfast, a very important meal of a day which provides full energy to begin a new day. Morning is effective working time for me. I start working at 8am and leave office around 19pm. Then it’s time for personal things and acquiring new knowledge, or running my own business. Of course, that’s a normal day, some special days for my family and other relationships and physical activities. I always balance between work and life.

Interviewer: Which areas are you searching for?

Huy Manh: I like drawing, I really admire the imagination and hand-drawing competence of architects.

Interviewer: How do you spend time for physical activities?
Huy Manh: I like playing sports, especially team sports. I join the company football club every Tuesday night. At weekend, I usually play the shuttlecock in the park. All my stress has been gone when I play sports.

Interviewer:    If someone is going to cook you a meal, what would you like him/ her to cook?
Huy Manh:    I am an easy-eating person. I like and taste all kinds of foods. It’s hard to describe which one is the best, but I think tortoise/snails hotpot with green banana is my favorite. This dish is often found in wedding party in my hometown. The green banana after cooked is glutinous, mixing with the greasy taste of the bacon, the nutty flavor of peanuts, the crunchiness of snails, all combination creates a great dish.

Interviewer: What is your favorite pet?
Huy Manh: I like animals, but I don’t have any pets

He has very early professional career, and keeps the Greatest of All Time. At his age, other athletes have retired from their career, but he still keeps the top rank thanks to his hard-practice. When he's not on the court, he is a model man of the family. Maybe I'll try playing tennis in future.

Better View Of Life With Yoga

Better View Of Life With Yoga

Yoga is a great way to work on your flexibility and strength, also helps you have a better view of life. I  admire your curve in yoga poses, bending easily, how can you do that?
Thu Ngọc: honestly, no secret just practice, practice and practice. Although some not-so-fun feelings may occur at the beginning of doing yoga when I haven’t experienced a sense of openness in my body yet, I always do with all my mind and body.

At 3 yoga levels: basic, average and advanced, flexibility is not as important as what we learn and experience through the exercises. Can you share with us your experience?
Thu Ngọc: We can’t talk about yoga without talking about practicing the postures, in fact, neither have to practice difficult and complex poses to get the best results nor to sweat as much as possible, but how we do breathing properly, an important factor that makes yoga completely different.

The company has just established Yoga Club to help people relax after work, what advice do you have for everyone when they start doing yoga?
Thu Ngọc: Yoga is for everyone, whether you are old or young, overweight or fit, yoga has the ability to relieve the mind and strengthen the body, the most important thing for those who start practicing yoga is deep breathing, and proper breathing. Inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the nose or mouth will increase the amount of oxygen, reduce the amount of carbonic, help us have more energy, the body will always be full of energy. Deep, slow and long breathing exercises will make the training process much more effective.
And when you really understand yoga, people will feel more and more their body and what kinds of food they will consume, then bad food will definitely be limited.

If someone wants to become a professional yogi, where should people practice?
Thu Ngọc: It doesn't matter where the practice is, yoga masters have developed and classified different types of yoga to suit each person's needs and fitness. Yogi should learn the type of yoga that suits them and be ready, determined to exercise physically towards the ultimate goal of making the body energized, longer meditation, quiet feeling and peace in soul. In addition to sharing and guidance from yoga trainer, finding out the philosophy and thoughts of life, the knowledge behind yoga should be well-prepared when you start yoga

Which yoga posture do you like best?
Thu Ngọc: when I am getting familiar with yoga, I really enjoy breathing-focused exercises (Pranayama) and core work exercises, fortunately I have a flexible body, and quite bendable, so practicing poses that require flexibility is quite comfortable, but soon I will focus more on Power yoga, a practice that requires good physical fitness and high concentration.

To comment on yourself, what would you say?
Thu Ngọc: think positive, like to explore new culture, that's why I study Japanese, to understand more about people and the beauty of Japanese art and architecture.

So, is there anything you are pursuing to improve yourself?
Thu Ngọc: I think, to improve myself, constantly learn something new, give me the opportunity to meet many new people, when the mind is constantly developing, I will control my emotions well. Go to new places and experience life instead of just hanging around in a familiar place. And this is a very simple thing, helping me to improve myself more is to wake up earlier than usual, a small habit that helps me start the day in an exciting way.

How do you think when a person suddenly compliments you “Beautiful”?
Thu Ngọc: This is a gift of great spiritual value, really grateful and appreciated.


Thank you so much for your sharing
