Don't teach your daughter to be a princess...

BPO - In fairy tales, we always see the model of beautiful, gentle, kind, hard-working princesses, but whenever they encounter difficulties, obstacles or are bullied by someone, they sit down and cry, waiting for a fairy or a genie to appear and help them. And especially, those princesses always dream that if they are beautiful, a prince or a king will come to save their lives and they will live in a magnificent castle.

Being weak, beautiful, and kind is an important “weapon” for women. It is a “soft power” that girls should grasp for themselves to protect themselves. But it does not mean that it comes with a dependent mindset, waiting for someone to come and give miracles to their own lives!

Because in this life, the more we whine, the more we cry and blame someone or something that we cannot overcome difficulties... even if we cry until we run out of tears, there will be no fairy, genie, prince, or king to come to our rescue. Because beauty will fade with the passing of time, and sometimes being too kind can lead to being taken advantage of. When the princess has nothing left to cling to, she will realize how many opportunities have fallen into the hands of other girls. Because luck or miracles are not something that falls from the sky or is brought by a fairy or genie.

So in this era, what should women become? That is the question that the author has asked herself during the process of more than 20 years of building her personal brand. Born with many limitations such as not being able to walk, not being able to speak and not being able to go to school for a day. With physical defects and social prejudices, finding a "miracle" for your own life, building your own personal brand and breaking down barriers of prejudice from the community and from your own family members is a very long journey, with many harsh challenges.

During that journey, the image of an angel always appeared in the author's mind. An image of an angel that is always beautiful, always smiling gently, not sitting and crying, and especially always free to fly in the sky, often holding a magic wand in their hand to grant miracles to many people on the ground. Being an angel means that they have saved their own lives, so they are free to fly around the world to help many different groups of people. That is also the reason why on a beautiful day more than 10 years ago, the phrase "six-legged angel" suddenly popped into the author's mind.

At meetings with readers and inspiring many groups in society, the author always receives questions about why he chose the name 6-legged angel? And at such times, the author laughs and humorously answers: "Because I walk on 6 legs", meaning that my 2 legs plus the help of the 4-legged "super car" make up 6 legs. However, if explained figuratively, it will have a special meaning about the image of an angel. Because there will be few angels who just sit there and cry, waiting for someone to perform a miracle to save their lives, because they are busy trying to find a solution to help themselves.

Angels create miracles themselves, have the freedom of mind to fly in the blue sky, live a carefree life to help many groups of people in society and more especially, they do not have the concept of waiting for a prince or king to give them happiness. Because they have the inner strength to believe that they will meet the right "companion" on the journey to experience their life as an angel.

So, if she has a daughter in the future, the author will definitely teach her: "Become an angel to create miracles in your own life and inspire others to create miracles too!", because few princesses can do that.
