Let’s remember that everything comes from God and belongs to him. He is the one who sets the law and order in all his creation. We need to refer ourselves to him if we are to go along with what is proper in life, if we want to know what is true and false, what …

Human resources are priceless
The title came from a quote of Dhanin Chearavanont, the senior chairman of conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group or CP for short.

Banish Anger Quickly
We get angry sometimes. Hopefully, it’s not very often. Truth is it’s not a pleasant state to be in. And there can be many reasons why we get angry. People commit mistakes, or they can offend us or simply irritate us and other reasons can come out ‘adinfinitum.’ Our usual reaction to these events is …
Don’t do this after brushing
Brush your teeth ideally after every meal or at least twice a day, in the morning and the evening. Because less saliva is produced while sleeping at night, the more residual fluoride that is left, on teeth, the more protection from acid-producing bacteria. Rinsing immediately after brushing.

Hating Father’s Day
Whether real or imagined, as the pressure to share power to the offspring builds, the founder starts resisting loosening his or her hold on power.
