Ngoc Thanh Tam’s talk was both heartfelt and humorous, centered on her lifelong “stubborn” persistence. From practicing perfect handwriting as a child, to insisting on learning music at age three, to facing harsh criticism yet persisting in her artistic path, her story embodied resilience. For her, persistence is not obstinacy, but belief in oneself. She reminded us that going all the way can be as simple as telling yourself every day, “I can do it,” and holding on to your dream with unwavering determination. Ngọc Thanh Tâm is a talented actress and a prominent producer in Vietnam, known for her impressive performances in films such as "Tâm Sắc Tấm", "Thạch Sanh Lý Thanh", and especially her leading role in "Đảo của dân ngụ cư" - a film that represented Vietnam at various international film festivals.Breaking beyond the boundaries of acting, Ngọc Thanh Tâm continues to challenge herself in multiple roles - from a content creator with nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers to a standout performer on the reality show "Chị Đẹp Đạp Gió Rẽ Sóng 2024", where she demonstrated her courage and breakthrough spirit to reach the finals.Beyond the stage, she has also won over television audiences through the show "Gia Đình Haha", alongside Jun Phạm, Rhymastic, Bùi Công Nam anh Duy Khánh, spreading positivity with the song "Những ngày trời bao la". Her down-to-earth, hardworking image has helped break the stereotype of the “heiress,” revealing a more relatable, genuine, and energetic side of herself.
