This proverb is often the very first one children learn in school. It is found in almost every elementary textbook. The proverb reinforces the 'Exam Culture' in Vietnam, where students are expected to study for many hours every day to pass national exams. For Vietnamese families living abroad, this proverb is often used to remind children of their heritage and the hard work of their immigrant parents. Startups in Hanoi and Saigon often use this phrase in their internal mottos to build a culture of 'grit'.
