Thought of the day

I have to write, I have to write, don’t sleep, can’t sleep now, before I forget. I’m so happy! Is it because of the Mango dessert? Or the local boat we took without knowing that where should we go? Or maybe just simply because that I didn’t sleep a lot today? We went a lot of places today – Central World, Platinum, Siam Square, Gaysorn, etc. My legs are quite painful now. My eyes barely open. I’m very tired now, but I have to write this down. Recently, I’m learning “Di Zi Gui”, in English, means standards for being a good student and child. It is an ancient Chinese book handed down to us from ancient Chinese Saints and sages. I’m also reading a book too. Today, something hits my head – saying thank you doesn’t mean you’re a grateful person. Saying the words thank you on the odd occasion certainly didn’t make you a grateful person. Say the words only when you really mean it, thank sincerely.
