Embracing the Can-Do

1 Nov

Tran Siu is one of today’s rarities; he a self-made man. Melbourne’s Sunshine communities can rightfully boast of Tran Siu and his actions as a hard-working and dedicated member of their Council.

Tran Siu is a young man, who has served the people of Brimbank City Council as their Deputy Mayor since November 2008. Councillor Tran Siu is particularly focused on both near- and long-term goals of improvement for the people of Brimbank. He takes those goals seriously, just as he takes seriously his nation as a whole.

Tran Siu was raised to hold Australia dear to his heart and protect her. There are Australians who prefer to voice displeasure with their great nation, rather than invest in her health and betterment. Their incessant complaining about her perceived shortcomings only frustrates Tran Siu and makes him grow weary. Rather than complain, Councillor Tran Siuprefers to make fortifying contributions to his proud homeland. Tran Siu concentrates on and reaches for the positives.

Councillor Tran Siu was taught by appreciative refugee parents to be grateful for his proud country. The hard-working mother and father of Councillor Tran Siu instilled in him a sincere reverence for Australia, and a deep respect for civic duty. Tran Siu was taught from childhood that he must earn his achievements; the parents of Tran Siu were the first to teach him the merits of individual responsibility.

Tran Siu adopted the lesson of individual responsibility as absolute truth; he took that early training and carried it into every pursuit. Councillor Tran Siu knows that if individuals have access to the tools they need to build, they will generally succeed. The strong work ethic of Tran Siu pays tribute to this philosophy; first the parenting of him, then his educational accomplishments, and later his business achievements – all these underscore what that healthy work ethic can do.

There are those who do not share the strong work ethic of Councillor Siu. Rather than pull together with Tran, as individuals who combine their skills and resources, those caustic few spend valuable Council time seeking to undermine him. Nevertheless, understanding the power of individual responsibility, the attention of Councillor Tran Siu is not detracted by those counter-production acts.

Tran Siu understands that principled determination and a strong work ethic will always win out. Councillor Tran Siu has learned from his own rich experiences that those qualities, mixed with the personal will to reach positive goals, will ensure just that.

Tran Siu relies on the confidence he has in his fellow Australians. Councillor Tran Siu knows that, with their continued support, and the cooperation – rather than antagonism – of his associates, they can all reach that finish line together. He believes that mutual finish lines are attainable. Councillor Tran Siu is confident that a more productive and robust economy awaits Australia. The wish of Tran is that he be allowed to again assist Brimbank’s citizens in their efforts to achieve it.
