Top 7 Best Examples of Concern, Sharing, Empathy, and Helping Each Other in Life

Mr. Đặng Hữu Tường, the Party Secretary, Principal, and Head of the Covid-19 Prevention Steering Committee at Thụ Hậu Secondary School, always checks on the health of staff, teachers, students, and their families as well as neighbors during each online meeting. He reminds everyone to strictly follow the disease prevention guidelines. While showing concern, he also gathers information to promptly report to the higher authorities. Following the principle 'Fighting the pandemic as we fight an enemy,' he has communicated the necessary measures to all staff through various channels: notifications on Edu, posts on Facebook, and messages via Messenger. These methods are quick, simple, and sometimes lighthearted to ease the tension among the team.

He has also shown care for those working behind the scenes to prevent the pandemic in the local area. Not a day goes by without Mr. Tường visiting to encourage the local leaders and offer support to the front-line staff at quarantine sites. No task in the pandemic battle has been too much for him and his team to handle. Alongside pandemic prevention, Mr. Tường continues to ensure that school duties are carried out effectively.

Lê Quang Long, originally from Quảng Nam and currently based in Ho Chi Minh City, has dedicated his life, as he shares, to 'giving all his love to the children of remote regions.' For over ten years, Long has regularly traveled to places in need of assistance. Through his meaningful charity projects, Lê Quang Long has brightened the lives of many disadvantaged individuals. As the founder of the 'Green Steps' project, he focuses on helping children and laborers in remote areas.

This initiative has attracted the support of young volunteers who share his commitment to contributing to humanitarian and social activities. Lê Quang Long and his team have worked tirelessly throughout the year, collecting donations and delivering essential supplies to residents in quarantine and lockdown areas across many regions. In addition to 'Green Steps,' Long and his like-minded friends launched another project, 'Hoàng Cầm Kitchen,' which aims to provide nutritious meals to children in remote areas, ensuring they can attend school on a full stomach. At every location the team visits, warm meals are distributed to children and the less fortunate.

After the August Revolution of 1945, President Hồ Chí Minh called upon the entire nation to 'defeat the famine, defeat the illiteracy, and defeat the foreign invaders.' Just like millions of families, President Hồ and his people reduced their daily rations and set aside rice to fight hunger. Overcoming the famine at that time was a great achievement of the revolution, a result of the people's compassion and solidarity.

After thirty years of war, our country now has hundreds of thousands of victims affected by Agent Orange. Millions of people in remote areas still live in poverty, facing scarcity and hardships. Floods and storms occur constantly, causing death and devastation for many families. Many students have been swept away by floods on their way to school; many fishermen have gone missing at sea due to storms. In the face of these heartbreaking situations, who wouldn’t feel compassion, who wouldn’t shed tears?

The fundraising campaigns launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front to assist the victims of Agent Orange, HIV/AIDS patients, and others in need have been warmly supported by our people. Many overseas Vietnamese have contributed hundreds of millions of đồng to charity funds, which have been praised by the press. The movement to help poor and disadvantaged students has also seen enthusiastic participation from teachers and young people. All these movements speak to the emotional strength of unity and the deeply rooted humanitarian tradition of our Vietnamese people.

At approximately 12:30 AM on May 24, a fire suddenly broke out in a house located in alley 43/98/31 Trung Kính street (Trung Hòa ward, Cầu Giấy district, Hanoi), resulting in 14 fatalities and 6 injuries.

When the fire was discovered, despite the danger, Phạm Quốc Luật, a former aluminum glassworker and a Grab driver by night, rushed to find a ladder, hammer, and tools to rescue people. Nguyễn Kim Long, the son of the house owner where Luật was renting, immediately grabbed a ladder and hammer to assist. Upon reaching the scene, Đồng Văn Tuấn and Hoàng Văn Tuấn climbed the wall, then raised the ladder to reach the second-floor window where people were trapped. Hoàng Văn Tuấn held the ladder steady while Đồng Văn Tuấn climbed up and used a sledgehammer to break the wall in order to rescue those inside. However, due to the short bamboo ladder and Tuấn's small stature, his hammer blows weren't strong enough.

At this point, Nguyễn Kim Long and his team worked together, bringing more rope ladders to help Hoàng Văn Tuấn. With this added support, Đồng Văn Tuấn managed to climb higher, gripping the ladder and continuing to use the hammer to break the wall. After an intense effort, Đồng Văn Tuấn and Phan Quốc Luật alternated, pounding until they finally made a hole large enough to free the four members of the family from the fire. The crowd assisted in safely lowering each person to the ground. Their actions were nothing short of heroic, like unsung heroes of peace.

Bill Gates is undoubtedly a shining example for future generations to follow. Known also as William Henry 'Bill' Gates III, he was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, USA. He is the son of William H. Gates, Sr. and Mary Maxwell Gates. Bill Gates served as both the president and architect of the software company Microsoft. Beginning in 2000, Bill Gates gradually shifted his focus towards charitable work. He stepped down as CEO of the company and, along with his wife, established a private charitable foundation bearing their names.

In 2006, he began working part-time at Microsoft, dedicating the majority of his time to philanthropy. By 2014, Bill Gates resigned as chairman and took on the role of technology advisor at the company. Bill Gates' contributions to humanity through his charitable efforts are undeniable. He has willingly set aside his work at Microsoft to tirelessly build foundations that focus on helping children and those facing difficult circumstances.

A person whom I deeply admire for their care, empathy, and willingness to share with others is Mr. Nguyễn Đăng Văn (30 years old, living in Cầu Giấy District, working as a delivery man) - the hero who courageously saved 9 lives during a fire in Thanh Xuân. Mr. Văn has a heart full of compassion and love for others. He didn’t hesitate to wear a mask, put on a helmet, and use a hammer from a nearby house to help the rescue efforts with the firefighters. I truly admire him and remind myself to always care, empathize, and share with those in need, so that everyone in life can live joyfully and happily.

"Sometimes, the small things you do can change someone's life completely" (Anonymous). Indeed, sharing brings people closer together. Across half the globe, Bill Gates – the world's billionaire – is well known. Before achieving success, he dropped out of the famous Harvard University and, together with his friends, faced repeated failures. Yet, he rose from these setbacks and went on to found Microsoft.

Once successful, he dedicated 95% of his fortune to share and assist those in need, helping people experiencing hardship and misfortune worldwide. Bill Gates' actions are a testament to the generosity and empathy he has for others. I deeply admire him and always remind myself to care, empathize, and share with those who are struggling, so that everyone in life may live joyfully and happily.
