My name is Duong Huynh Anh. I have more than 30 years of experience in the field of HR management. I used to work as HR President, HR Director, and Senior Assistant of Group Presidents from multinational companies such as Unilever, Contex, now known as TravelTexaco, ANZ Bank, Prudential, and international companies such as BRG, Vingroup, multinational banks such as Siabanh Bank, North Abanh Bank. Although I am an expert in the field of HR management, it is not an easy job for me. In my job as HR Director, I was under a lot of pressure. I had a lot of meetings and work, which made me stressed. Therefore, I was very hot-tempered. And with my temperament, I was also a person who asked for everything. So I put a lot of pressure on the people around me, especially my relatives and family. In my family, there is a classic saying that my children also agree with. I said, it's been a long time since I worked as a mother's employee. In my job, I instructed my employees to work. However, I also reacted very harshly when I was not satisfied. And when I was hot-tempered, even a copy of a document could be copied because of a misinterpretation. I also argued very harshly about my direct management, as a foreigner, when I wanted to protect my point of view and opinion in the situation of HR management. The pressure in my job and from myself made my salary and career gradually out of proportion to my health. When the headaches are so terrible, sometimes I think that money and salary are not always what I want. And if health is more important than money and salary, what should I do? Is it too late? I don't know where everything will go if there is no meeting with my daughter teacher that day. In the summer of 2017, my family came back to live in Ecopark. I found and was introduced to a piano teacher for my child. When I knew that the teacher was the one who was trained in the music academy, but unfortunately, she had an accident, which made her give up and have to sit in a wheelchair, I also wanted to support a person with the same effort and will as her. In the process of working, in addition to talking about my child's education, she shared with me about the practice of Dharma practice, which is the practice of Buddha Dharma according to the principle of Chön Thien Nhan. Since I am an expert in Buddha Dharma, I wanted to find out right away. I read the text of the Dharma Transmission and I started to practice the five Dharma practices. I didn't expect that after practicing the five Dharma practices and reading books every day, my headaches were getting worse and the pain was getting lighter. And I was never out of pain. Not only did the headaches haunt me for a long time, but I realized that my temperament had also changed unexpectedly. My husband is the CEO of an airline company. Before practicing, my wife and I often quarreled because no one would listen to anyone. We may never realize the instability in our behavior if we do not practice. My husband is a person who is full of pride. Before, it was very difficult to give him advice. But now, after we practice Dharma, on the one hand, he is also a practitioner of change of temperament. On the other hand, he also sees the kindness from me, so he listens to me more. It is true that kindness is a warm word. In work, instead of just sticking to the principle of hard work, instead of being stubborn and self-assertive, I have gradually changed to be more obedient, more empathetic, and often put myself in the partner's position to assess important and sensitive issues. There is a story that I always remember in my career. It is the case of a manager, who has a good professional service, who is able to work in English, but the company needs to keep the staff like this. In the process of transferring the staff between the member companies in the system, the Salary Department, as a policy, has paid the wrong income for him for a long time. When it was discovered, the Salary Department had to collect it. If not, the staff of the Salary Department will have to obey the regulations and use their own money to pay. The Salary Department also explained to him, but he also gave out his own rules and did not accept the Salary Department to collect. He then blocked all contacts with the HR Department of the company. As a HR manager, I have to solve this problem. I texted him. In the message, I said that you are a person who practices Buddhism. The Buddhist teacher said that if I try to keep something that is not mine, I will not be able to keep it. I will lose it in a way that I don't like. Or I will be seriously ill, or lose my wealth in some way. After that message, he contacted me and wanted to talk to me. More than 30 years in the field of HR for large international and multinational corporations, until now, after training, I realized that HR is a human being. The origin of human management is that each individual has high moral standards. I like to think that if everyone can comply with the standards of kindness, kindness, then managing a company will be extremely simple and surely that company will be really effective at work. Therefore, I do not carry the burden of work on my shoulder to get rid of too much pressure. I have left the high-ranking HR position of corporations to do freelance consulting. I want to balance time to be able to specialize, but also have more time to practice Dharma. Because above all, we understand that there are things more important than money and fame. It is a precious asset. We often forget to pay it back. It is the virtue of having a lot of practice. In this change, I want to aim for new life values. I want to bring experience to share, support businesses and the community as human resources and students. Currently, I am one of the founding members of Artemis. It is a company specializing in consulting, building HR systems for small and medium-sized companies, consulting on system reconstruction, transformation of management models, expansion or expansion of HR scale, building HR policies to implement the business strategy of those companies. The difference from when I practiced is that I know how to live just enough. It is not necessary to accumulate too much. Before, I also thought a lot about the future of my children, but I realized that my children also have their fate, which is influenced by the fate of each person. I gave birth quite late and raised my children with difficulty. In addition, I am a greedy person, so I accidentally put pressure on myself to take care of my children, feed them, educate them. When they are sick, it is a matter of studying, going to school, and putting pressure on their achievements. When I studied, I understood that the fate of each person is determined by the many lives of each person, so I did not put pressure on my children about the result of the study. But sometimes in the study environment, the children put pressure on themselves because they want to compare the speed of the race to their friends. I instructed my children to help me relieve the pressure, and I told my children that no matter what the score is, I tried my best. I just need to know how to improve my experience so that I can do better next time. By doing so, the individual will improve every day, and that is the important thing. Understanding the meaning of training, I focus more on teaching my children morality, integrity, understanding, and responsibility. What I often do is to follow the values of compassion, to explain to my children the situations that I have encountered in my life and in the study environment. Therefore, I gradually gain peace in the work of teaching my children, which is half the pressure in the family life. The Great Dharma is the practice of Buddhism that helps people to be kind, improve their health and mental health. The higher the mind, the better. No amount of work or money can compare to the joy, peace, and contentment from the heart, which we all seek.
