The best thing for me today is that I had a chance to give a little inspirational speech for the graduates of University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. This time I didn't have that much time to prepare as I just knew that I was selected to be given a Honorary degree (Ph.D.) from the University of Thai Chamber of Commerce. So I gave them two short thoughts of what I always imagine to myself. If I was 21 and about to graduate, what should i know, and what I will be facing?? My worst fear and anxiety at that time is not poverty but failure. Failing and mistake are hard to avoid no matter how good or how skilful you are. I'm the one who always learn from them time and time until they've turned to be priceless experiences. But still, I know i'll be facing them again. The point behind this is that to learn from your mistake and the courage to fail are the key to success!! as there are no where in the world you can learn from but to face them yourself. Nothing can teach us like our own experience, it automatically goes through your brain. I want to use this opportunity to encourage those who are facing failure or mistake to learn from them and never give up. (How good would that be if everyone is being supportive to those who failed and giving them a chance to learn from it.) The next thing that is no less important is immediate implementation (To do it right away). There are hundreds of reason why it is so important to this generation, but what i value most is to find your life goal. I feel lucky to go for it since I was young. We might have hundreds of choice, but it's not easy to choose just one and go for it. "To do it" might not be a cool word, but at least it helps us know that we are not dreaming, and how realistic our goal is. Implementation makes us not to lie to ourselves, helps us learn from mistake, and again learning from mistake is a key to success!! So why delaying?? Why are we still dreaming at night and waking up with nothing change?? Now if you realize, go out there and fight for it, make it happens, and never give up. Because the most regretful thing is to give up today, while success could be as close as tomorrow.
