Hello all!
The other day my friend and I paid respect to our Nailuang, King Rama IX at the Dusit Throne Hall. We both realized that timing was crucial so we selected to go on Tuesday after having heard from the news that Tuesday and Wednesday could be much lighter, it turned out that our choice happened to be one of the busiest days ka.
Admittedly, at first, I wasn't so sure if I could go through the long hours of waiting so both my friend and I were quite prepared with some necessities especially an inhaler and some candies. We drank much less water too.
We also told ourselves that the line could go for hours so we expected that our mission may take long.
The weather could be an issue as it was quite warm that day and both of us forgot to bring fans.
Well! we spent at least 8 and a half hours to get in (from 1.45-10.30 pm).
After reflecting on the overall experience, I found that I didn't complain a single bit and partly it could be because of my prior expectations. I think the most part was my serious intention to pay respect to Nailuang ka.
This made me realize much better how one could be driven to do some different/challenging tasks if his/her 'heart' is set positive by himself/herself toward the goal he/she has aimed for. It can potentially increase more energy and more persistence to keep going, and more pride to see the success!
What was in my heart then?
Nailuang has been our best role model and my intention did not focus simply on paying respect. I think going there would inspire me to do more for the country with the least conditions possible.
I left the Dusit Throne Hall feeling very sad still to lose our King.... but my heart has been filled with stronger inspiration and more serious intention to contribute to the quality of our education in 2017 and beyond ka.
Merry Christmas na ka.
