One month, two weeks and one day… that’s exactly how long I was missing in my own blog. The previous month was very tumultuous and I’ve once again confirmed that people’s mind and behavior is indeed the greatest mystery there is (this is precisely my reason for taking up Psychology in college).
And I’ve also learned two very valuable lessons, the hard way. First is Robert Greene’s 2nd Law of Power (In his book The 48 Laws of Power), “Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies”. And second, the famous phrase from Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince; “It is so much more secure to be feared than to be loved. Men love at their own free will, but fear at the will of the prince. As long as they are in fear, you have control over them. For fear is so strong an emotion that people will do everything they can to avoid it”.
Well, like I always wanted to say, life goes on. As we go through life, something is always lost, but something is always gained.
I’m now working on a new baby, a new business venture with two partners and hopefully, we can make it a success and its in the field that is very close to me, Education. Its almost the end of the year and its been a good year for the company that I run and we have exceeded our target and our figures for this year is tripled of our numbers last year, I have to give credit to my team for this achievement. I’m currently preparing for another muay thai tournament this November 23 and I hope I will do better than the previous competition ( I really sucked during the last tournament). If Mitch Albom has his “Tuesdays with Morrie”; my family and I have our “Sundays with Ajarn Pudpadnoy”. Beck finished her certification course as a muay thai instructor and has earned the title of “kru”. I still maintain my belief that in muay thai, the certification is proven in the ring. I intend to write more articles in my blog that not only focus on the events that happen to me and my family but also articles about the diverse field of studies that I am interested in, and be more like the discoverer with an unsatiable appetite for new things and knowledge that I was 10 years and and 30 pounds ago. Like what the jingle of Discovery Channel says, “I love the whole world, its such a brilliant place”.
