10:30 p.m. The lobby of a 40-story apartment complex in the heart of the city still glows brightly. Footsteps fade as residents trickle home. The elevator doors close, leaving only the sound of Phúc’s shoes tapping against the polished floor — the familiar rhythm of his night shift. For five years, those steady steps have been his silent promise to safeguard the people who live here.
“Nighttime is when everyone unwinds and rests — that’s when my shift begins,” he says with a gentle smile. Few know that behind his calm demeanor is a nightly battle against fatigue and drowsiness — challenges every night guard must overcome with discipline and endurance.
A Quiet Battle and Dreams That Never Sleep
On the surface, a night guard’s job seems simple. But for those on duty, it is a grueling test of both mind and body. When the city powers down, they remain alert — scanning cameras, listening for unusual sounds. On cold nights, when eyelids grow heavy and exhaustion creeps in, relaxation is not an option. One moment of carelessness can lead to serious consequences.
“Night shifts feel long. Time moves slowly, like it’s testing your endurance. The hardest part is around 3 a.m., when your body wants to collapse but your mind has to stay sharp,” he recalls. Once, so drained he nearly nodded off in his chair, he caught sight of a lit apartment window. Someone was still up, working tirelessly. The thought struck him: I’m protecting the peace that makes others’ dreams possible.
He straightened up and opened a bottle of Number 1. The cold liquid rushed through him, its bold flavor igniting his senses. “It recharges me — helps me stay focused and alert to finish the shift strong,” he says.
Before becoming a security guard, Phúc was an air-conditioning technician. An unexpected setback pushed him into night-shift work so he could care for his mother and raise his two young children. “At first I felt discouraged — like I was falling behind. But then I realized that any job is honorable if you do it with passion and the will to move forward.”
Night duty also gives him rare pockets of quiet to plan his future: opening a small electronics repair shop. After each shift, he studies online, watches technical tutorials, and reads manuals. He calls it his journey of “lasting passion” — a steady effort to keep advancing.
The Energy That Helps Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things
Phúc’s story is just one among countless quiet warriors scattered across buildings and streets — people who work relentlessly, fueled by passion and ambition. They push forward each day, reaching for their dreams and becoming better versions of themselves.
For them, Number 1 isn’t just an energy drink. It keeps them awake during late hours, focused through demanding shifts, and — most importantly — helps sustain the fire of passion that powers their dreams.
“With Number 1, I get the energy I need not only to work effectively, but also to hold onto my passion and the belief that tomorrow will be better,” Phúc says.
This spirit mirrors that of Đen — Number 1’s brand ambassador — who has spent 15 years pursuing rap with unwavering dedication. From a young man quietly nurturing his musical dreams to an artist loved by millions, Đen has never stopped moving forward. His journey proves that persistence can lead to remarkable achievements.
A Journey of Lasting Passion: From Night Guard to Inspiration
As dawn breaks, Phúc hands over his shift and steps out into the waking city. The giant urban machine begins humming: students heading to school, factory workers clocking in, vendors opening their stalls, start-up founders gearing up for the next breakthrough, airplanes rising into the sky. Each person is on a journey driven by a fierce desire to grow.
He pauses on the sidewalk, opens another chilled bottle of Number 1. The morning sunlight hits the bright red and gold label, glowing like a symbol of powerful energy and relentless determination.
For over two decades, millions have chosen Number 1 as their companion — the source of energy that helps them remain steady, pursue their passions, and rise to become better versions of themselves.
“Every job has value, as long as we know how to recharge, stay alert, and keep our passion burning. That’s how we follow our dreams to the end,” Phúc thinks, taking a long sip.
He strides into a new day. In his hand — and in the hands of millions — Number 1 stands as a symbol of resilience and determination, accompanying people as they chase their dreams and forge ahead into the future.
