Hi all!
As this is the last week of this year, I started looking back and did look far back to my childhood days. It's amazing how I still recall some of my questions when I was quite young...several like why people had to shout and cry hysterically when they saw the Beatles (why did they have to wait patiently to greet them too:))!), why people wanted to gain power to rule the world (influence from watching lots of Japanese movies ka!), and why the fruit had clean (consumable) juice even when the water was from dirty soil. The last question was the very first I felt brave enough to ask my primary school teacher out of my curiosity.
I sure asked quite a few "why's" when I was very young.
For the passing year, I think my "why's" turns to be more "why not's." like why not try a little further, why not do/observe/think/write/share more, which simply encourage my own self not to lose hope and continue doing what I'm passionate in....and yes! education for human beings with beautiful hearts of caring and high caliber.
Two other aspects I learned are leadership and internationalization. I managed to compile a few lessons and will polish the two documents further to share with our education community. They seem to be interdependent yet for many, internationalization is still very abstract and may not have caught their close attention.
One final lesson I've learned quite a bit this year is happiness, especially from research results from over 70 years of study, shared on TedTalk (Robert Waldinger). It is clear that a good life is seen from those being more family and social connected as well as the quality of the relationships.
In looking back, I know as each year comes and goes, I've grown more with increased understanding of my own self, my own life, and my own passion. I'm sure you all have matured to another stage of life as well.
For 2016, let us all actively do what will be for the better Thailand, the better quality of our own Thai people and education so we can share more for our communities and beyond ka! Why not, right?
A better life filled with inner happiness and passion in learning and sharing in 2016 na ka!
