“I started working at night more, sometimes I felt like I didn’t have enough time, but I didn’t feel embarrassed. First of all, I tried to concentrate to ensure I could complete my work ahead of schedule, not letting myself get distracted. Because I used to have digestive problems, I also paid more attention to my diet, supplemented with vitamin C, functional foods and rested. I hope that I will be in good shape to “fight” to complete my work this quarter,” Cuong shared.
