How did Dr. Tran's mission come about?
Today, it is more critical than ever to develop and live a meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling life. For instance, in the 20th century, businesses focused more on profit, title, status, and the corporate ladder. However, in the 21st century, businesses are still aiming to make a profit while also making a social impact.
The reason for the shift is that, as human beings and as a society, we are climbing higher up the hierarchy of human needs. Before the 21st century, we were more focused on making a living to survive, which is lower on the hierarchy of human needs. However, in the 21st century, society is advancing and moving up the hierarchy of human needs, creating meaning and purpose by using our inner strengths to make an impact.
Therefore, you must learn to adapt and evolve with society to thrive. Otherwise, you will be left behind.
However, many people have difficulty adapting to this change, which has prevented them from thriving and reaching their full potential. From this awareness of the problem, Dr. Tran's mission has manifested.
