Q&A: US Trip (3)


Question4: What is keeping you from achieving the same thing as that person?

Gluay:
            I do not know how I can be like them because I saw them when they already got everything. I did not know how they did it. But I believe that everyone has their own path, and I have to find mines.
            I think what keeps me from doing things and projects in general is my laziness, fear, and money. You may argue with me on the last one, but I still believe that I need some to get started. My laziness is also a big problem for me. When I realize how many things I need to do to do a project, I don’t feel like doing it anymore.
Mint:
            I think it might need inspiration and passion in my business life, I did afraid many times in the business because of the first time of jumping in is feeling like burden. I have lost many inspiration and passion in the first year of working, the second year still the same. Many things in IMBA changes my attitude, and lots of thing in US trip did inspired me and make me believe again on what am I wish for or looking for in my business, ,my life and my future.


Question5: What ideas did you learn, which you would like to bring back to Thailand?

Gluay:
            I wish what I saw in GreenMBA(water and fish preservation, and permaculture) could happen in Thailand. I hope that one day Thais will pay attention to environment, seeing it as a critical thing in their lives.
Mint:
            I also think the same as p’Gluay, the environmental caring issue is very important in USA., I wish I can see the actual plan and the actual doing for environment more and more, at least from Thai people’s perspective that concern more on environment, not just the money, wealthy thing. Somehow, the Capitalism teaches us to maximize profit of resources but don’t say about sustainability of those resources. It’s a time for us to care more on our planet.
            And also about entrepreneurship, in Thailand we found tons of entrepreneurs on the street (food strolls) but how can they get successful? No one can tell them how can they do it with growth and sustainable. Thai people always have entrepreneur mindset in themselves, with some push from outside, we would have a chance to see they bloom.


Question6: What is keeping you from doing that?

Gluay:
            I do not know where to start. They are big ideas, probably too big for me, and I guess that it will take a lot of time, effort, and money.
Mint:
            Nothing is keeping me to not doing it myself, for the environmental issue; I start with myself the one who is around me (friends and family) to concern or look in my point of view. If you ask about how much impact that I create, I don’t know but I believe that if I start with myself, I can say or persuade others with confident that even me doing it.
            The best start in my sight is from myself and then influent to people around me, that’s what I think.
