Quotes by Rosie Nguyễn (?)

“Những ngày tuổi trẻ tưởng dài rộng mênh mông nhưng kỳ thực lại rất hữu hạn ngắn ngủi. Nên nếu bạn còn trẻ, hãy học cách để biến tuổi trẻ của bạn thành vô giá.”
― Rosie Nguyễn, Tuổi Trẻ Đáng Giá Bao Nhiêu

“Tôi vẫn thường ngẫm nghĩ lý do những người có tài như thế lại thất bại. Có lẽ tài năng là chưa đủ. Đam mê là chưa đủ. Yêu thích là chưa đủ. Trên con đường đó vẫn nhiều cạm bẫy, vẫn nhiều ngã rẽ, vẫn nhiều thử thách chông gai. Biết được đam mê, vẫn không hết lòng, kiên trì, nhiệt tình theo đuổi nó. Vẫn không có tính kỷ luật, ép mình vào khuôn khổ. Để cuộc sống trôi đi với những thứ nhỏ nhặt vụn vặt. Thì tương lai vẫn mờ mịt như cũ.”
― Rosie Nguyễn, Tuổi Trẻ Đáng Giá Bao Nhiêu

“Chỉ khi đã ở những năm gần cuối của lứa tuổi đôi mươi, tôi mới nhận ra rằng cách tốt nhất để trải qua tuổi trẻ của mình là học thật nhiều, làm thật nhiều, đi thật nhiều, gặp gỡ thật nhiều người và chứng kiến nhiều điều. Phấn đấu dấn thân xông pha trải nghiệm là cách rất tốt để xây dựng nền tảng tiền đề cho tương lai”
