Hello all. I've read the most recent book by Khun Tonson, Santitarn Sathirathai, entitled, 'Twists and Turns คิดเปลี่ยนในโลกหักมุม' and wish to share a few things what I like most ka:
1. As always, he has the foresight to share with readers how the world has twists and how Thailand has to reconsider itself to survive productively into the future ka. Basically, it's the AI era that has shaken up the world and we need to be aware, understand the implications, keep up, and adjust or make sharp turns, all with sense of urgency.
Thailand is like old yet experienced athlete (40 years old while Vietnam and Indonesia are at 30 on average). Since we can't compete in terms of fitness to run that fast anymore, we need to assess our own selves and think differently while playing smart (be more proactive to identify potential investors, focus on reskill and upskill approaches, investment in infrastructure, and proper economic stimulation.
2. He urges us to 'stay humble' and for him, 'humble' means to be a half-full glass to keep learning, be an under-promise and over-delivered person, and to have the heart of a challenger. All in all, it's the fighting spirit of life-long learner who never stops learning and preparing himself/herself for opportunities when they knock on the doors.
3. To be of high quality, acting like an economist with the horizontal knowledge/exposure across sectors is also helpful to get what economies of ours and the world are and where they're leading the world to na ka.
4. Different gens doesn't mean intergenerational gaps and conflicts. With empathy, respect for diversity and equality, and understanding of each other's contexts/ecosystem, we should be able to communicate effectively ka.
5. It's a must to collaborate for healthy living, caring for the cross-cutting issues of climate boiling and digital transformation that have and will continue to impact our lives.
6. Khun Tonson mentioned about happiness in life after his deep reflections. It doesn't focus on successes in work alone any longer. Some of his suggestions are for us to slow down, identify who we are, take care of our health, be a giver, etc.
Want to pick up a copy to read mai ka?
