Any space in this world for the elderly

finally, I have more time to write kaa!

Lots are on my mind as the past two weeks was filled with different exposures and experiences. I now slowly recall several things I'd like to share ka.

The other week, I had a chance to go to KX building, owned by KMUTT. It was unusual to me in some ways from the location to the restaurant and companies. 

As I was walking to the elevator, I was saying to myself that this seemed to be my cross-cultural environment in my own province ka. It's great to learn about diversity by being a stranger in our own territory sometimes ka.

For its Eat Lab, it was fun to choose my meal electronically and to learn how the place measured customers' satisfaction, which was more accurate than surveys. 

I said to myself, 'Tougher and tougher to do business to delight customers jing jing!' and I sure have to speed to learn to be more and more comfortable with new digital tools in different forms. 

We had a little tour to several companies in the building and my sharing is about 
"G-Able" (IT and digital solutions for businesses). I not only was amazed about the services offered, I was also impressed with the flexible setup of the work space and the way they worked independently and collectively.

What was more? When looking at the team, I said to myself again ka....'My goodness, I was almost the oldest there.' The oldest we met was like early 40's!

I started to ask myself, 'Eventually, would there be any room for the more senior to work in such a business? What could be offered to the older ones and what merits could they bring to share?'

Time for our older ones to make sure we are the 'C' gen ka.... 'Connected' for us to work alongside synergistically with the younger, offering experiences they may need to learn!

To be a 'C', it's each and every senior to learn much harder to be more digital. Need to talk, see and mingle more to get what the world is like from the younger's perspectives......tough life for the elderly nidnueng but sanuk for sure na ka! 

Let's try to be Seniors in Trend na ka:))! Have thirst for learning as our tool to rid any cultural traditions especially 'face' to make our younger ones and country proud ka!

Does Thailand belong to the 'young world' like how I felt decades back in the US? 

Should I get worried for our country? I am ka especially when linking the changing patterns with some cultural traditions like sabai, seniority, and authority.
