Deadline Day : The biggest day for Arsenal




31st of August

the last day of transfer window

also

the biggest day of Arsenal fans


After the massacre at Old Trafford,

it showed how bad Arsenal as a team actually was.


Time to build a new team,

and the fans are looking forward to big name signings


and at the moments,

there seemed to be three new signings including

Park Chu Yong , Santos and Mertesacker.


Midfielders are still weak and in need of reinforcement.


Let's see a real big signing before the window closes tonight.


The good news is that

there would be no worse than that day at old Trafford.

Arsenal has hit the bottom and

the points that they are not good enough

has been proved and spotted on.


It is time to fix it.


It is ok to fail ,

but

we need to realise that

we are not good enough 

and fix the weakness.

That is what life is all about

making mistake

and

realise and learn from it.

By now,

Arsene must have been awake for one of the busiest day of his life!!

In Arsene we trust.

Thailand's Da Vinci






From the idol,

the man who devotes his life to art

and now

to the bigger mission

to complete the white temple

of the value of almost billion baht

to

make a landmark for this era.


His determination and sacrifice is surely

worth being appreciated and valued.


Money is nothing

but what money can buy and create

is surely something.

Wat Rongkhun วัดร่องขุ่น

Wat Rhongkun at Chiangrai Thailand


With a log of warnings of doing wrong things
Also ,
the forbidden for the drunk!



With the reflection on a sunny day.

Is this heaven?

With the clear sky and beautiful clouds.


Beware , you sinner,

that is what he is trying to say , I think.


Finally


Golden Toilet , the one and only.

understanding




The gold bubble seems to have bursted.

 A fall of 100 dollars in three days

may have caused many in troubles.


In the crisis like this,

one way to handle it is to

understand the situation.


Nobody can turn back the clock

and undo what they have done.

The only thing to do is to accept

and understand the situation

and learn from the mistakes.


The more we learn,

the more experience we have,

the more obstacles we get through,

the wiser we will become.


And

the sooner we can accept the situation

and not pointing finger at anyone,

the sooner we will understand

and grow.


Money will come and go

but

the spirit will have to stay.


As long as we are still alive,

the way to retrieve the lost money

will not be that impossible.

กลัว??

เคยไหมกับการที่ไม่ได้ก้าวไปข้างหน้าอย่างเต็มที่
เพียงเพราะความกลัว
ความไม่แน่ใจ
หรือ
ประสบการณ์ที่เลวร้ายในอดีต
 
บางที
ของบางอย่าง
มันอาจจะไม่ใช่
เรื่องของความสามารถ
 
แต่เป็นเรื่องของใจ
 
เปรียบเหมือน
นักมวยสมัครเล่น
ที่ไม่กล้าเดินเข้าหาคู่ต่อสู้ที่เก่งกว่ามาก
เพราะกลัวโดนชกจนน็อค
 
แต่ความกลัวนั้นแหละ
ที่ทำให้แพ้
ไม่ว่าจะแพ้คะแนนหรือแพ้น็อค
 
แต่ในทางกลับกัน
ถ้าเขาเลิกกลัว
แล้วเดินหน้าเข้าใส่
 
แลัวคิดว่า
ชีวิตหนึ่งก็มีแค่ครั้งเดียว
โอกาสที่จะได้เผชิญหน้ากับคู่แข่งเก่งๆ
ก็ไม่ได้มีบ่อยๆ
 
และพอลองโดนต่อยดู
ก็จะได้รู้ว่า
หมัดนั้นไม่ได้ฆ่าเขาสักหน่อย
 
และเมื่อเวลาผ่านไป
เมื่อสู้จนไม่เหลือแรงแล้ว
การสู้แบบหมาจนตรอก
 
หลายครั้ง
ผู้ที่ด้อยกว่าก็กลับมาพลิกมาชนะ
 
ดังนั้น
ถ้าคุณมีความกลัว
จงหามันให้เจอ
และเผชิญหน้ากับมัน
เพราะเมื่อคุณผ่านการเผชิญหน้ามันไปได้
คุณจะไม่กลัวมันอีกต่อไป

Tulipmania vs gold craze???




Do you see any pattern between the two graphs?

The time difference is 3 centuries!!!

But humans are still behaving very similarly.


We are still chasing the same things that everyone wants.


In the 17th century , it was tulip.

Now, you guess it , gold.


I am not suggesting that it will end in the same way,

as gold will never be worthless,

 I hope.


But looking at the gold chart over the years,

in the 1980s, this happened once

and look at how it fell

later on.


People at this era may not live and invest during that time

or may have forgotten about what happened.


This is just a reminder not a warning.

As it is anyone's guess, how high the gold price will reach

due to the financial crises in Europe and America.


No matter what your position is,

just be careful,

that is all I want to say.


Good luck to all.

cast away



Cast away

the movie about a workaholic

who survived the plane crash

and was left alone on a deserted island.


The only friend he had

was a volleyball named Wilson.


The movie does show us 

that

anything can happen 

if we decide to survive

and not give up on fighting.


The surrounding 

gives us a new knowledge

all the time

if we choose to learn it


and we will be surprised

how we can master it 

if we keep on learning and practising the skill.


Like in the movie,

after a few years,

he seemed to have learnt

everything on the island

and even

the wind direction blowing to the island.


He could choose to give up

and died on the island

but

he wanted to get back

to see his wife.


The strong determination

brings about success

though

failures are abound along the way,

the main point is

not to give up trying

no matter what.


And one day

hopefully

we do succeed.


Anyway,

this is a good movie to

inspire you all.

Enjoy!!!

Don't sweat the small stuff



The first time I heard the phrase

Don't sweat the small stuff

was from the movie

Cast Away

a great movie , which I would do a review later.

It seemed to be a very catchy phrase at the time.


Like everything else,

as the time flies,

we seem to overlook and forget it.


Then,

I got the book

Don't sweat the small stuff

and it's all small stuff.


Even a better phrase which elaborates on the issue very well.


One part from the book

mentioning that

next time we feel upset about things or people


let them be our teachers


let those crazy drivers teach us about being reckless

and remind us not to do like them.


Or those unorganised people show us

how we should do better

if someone is late for a date or appointment

just relaxed

and learn from the incidence,

that way ,

we will not only avoid the unnecessary argument

but also

it will bring about the better atmosphere

for the upcoming events.



From all these perspectives,

we will no longer feel upset

and become better understanding with issue at hands.

We will learn to strive for better self

and at least calmer.


As we will then realise that

they are not assholes , but our valuable teachers

in the lesson we call

Life lesson.

Birzzle



Another game from the iphone

Birzzle.

The goal of the game is simple

to move the birds in a row as long as you can.


But to achieve the high score may not be that simple.

The game does teach you one thing though,

patience.


If you keep playing the game continuously

not only that you won't get that high score,

you will end up with

neckache and teary eyes.


It is the same with life actually.

If you keep pushing yourself to the limit

with no rest,

you will only feel painful and disappointed.


But if you give it a break and resume it later

with the fresh mind and thought

you will be able to get higher in life and in the game.


Also,

sometimes the only one you are competing against

is no one but yourself

so don't be too hard on yourself

if you haven't got there as soon as you may have wanted.


Everything takes time,

just be patient

and when you are good enough

you will be right there

at the top.

Satisfaction , needs , wants


When we get something we want ,

we often feel satisfied.

We even feel excited with what we are getting

but it often depends on the value of the thing we are getting.


No matter what we get ,

a luxurious place , a fancy car , a beautiful doll

it only lasts for a short period.


Once we get used to it ,

we will feel no longer excited about it

or sometimes even appreciate it less.


Luxury house becomes no different from normal

and much cheaper house.

A porsche becomes a Toyota Vios.

A Blythe becomes another teddy bear.


That happens because we have unlimited wants

and always want a better thing than we already have.


That is why

people say that

we will feel rich when we feel satisfied with what we have

not from the value of things we have.


We will be rich from the inside out.

Positioning

                                                          


If we position ourselves well,

we will know which field of specialty we want to develop

and also

how we can go about it?


Be it

a good speaker

writer

doctor

engineer

salesperson

businessman

investor

teacher

etc.


If we position ourselves , we will know what skill we want to develop

to achieve the goal.

It is like having a destination on the map

in our career path.


Life is not staying stilll,

it keeps changing all the time.

Unexpected events can happen at any places , any time.


So sometimes stormy whether can blow us off our path

and even make us forget where we were heading.


But if we have made a clear position of ourselves

we will realise who we are and where we are going

and that way

we might get to our destination faster amidst the storm.

Whatever happens...

whatever happens


Whatever has happened

it is always good.

Some have said.


No matter how bad it was

and how painful we were suffering,


one day

we will realise that

it happened for a reason

and because of that incidence

it made us  become who we are today.


All the bad experiences have taught us 

to be tougher , stronger and wiser at the end of the lesson.


Though it was hard to pass at the time.

if we survived it ,

it would make us stronger.


So whatever happened,

it is good , if not today ,

 in the future

we will appreciate this experience.

I hear I see I write


I hear and I forget.

I see and I remember.

I do and I understand.

The quote that is held true for centuries.


Some may think that 

learning by listening without writing it down 

will be placed in the long-term memory.

They are so wrong.


That is why the need of writing it down in the notebook is important

not only to be an evidence of something we learn 

so that our parents can check what we have learnt

or something we can look back for the revision in the future

but rather 

a jog of memory when we write something down.


We actually put the ideas through our head again 

after we listen to it.

So the idea becomes more rigid in our mind.


Also,

when we practise the various exercises

we actually use our application skill 

and become more specialised

after each exercise.


So next time when we learn something,

a notebook and a pencil are always essential

in the process of learning.


Those who are afraid of hard work

will go nowhere in life.

problems in life


Life will keep giving us the same problem

until we get it right.


Sometimes,

we have to repeat doing the same old type of problems

until we specialise in this type of problem.


But if we just do it just to get it over with,

we will have to end up doing again in the future.


One person once told me that

if we do the problems to the certain amounts

no matter how complicated the similar problem will be

we will be able to solve it.


So practice makes us efficient and wise.


Gold is not afraid of fire,

so real man or woman shouldn't be afraid of the test in life.

Right?
