Always Be A Humble Man

The one who is humble always gets a good response from everyone. Your friend who may think you bad may become your good friend later because of your humbleness. Of course, we still have a friend who dislikes us but someday he will understand us and become our good colleague. However, I always understand them.




I searched 'humble man' by Google; I found one story that was interesting. It says about one Daimyou (a high rank of governors who governed a province in ancient Japanese) who was humble. One day he got fish as a gift from a man and he ordered his secretary to daft a letter to thank that man. The secretary had drafted the brusque letter on behalf of the great saying thanks to the low rank man and submitted to the Diamyou for his consideration. When reading, he ordered him to rewrite the polite letter to the man again.



From this story, humbleness is very important for everyone, not only for a boss. Sure, a boss must keep this story in mind for his consideration of practice because when someone becomes the boss he gets much respect. He may feel that he is the great. But actually people may respect him because of being afraid of his position; it is not a real respect from the mind. So practicing a humble mind, you will sit in the minds of all people.

The Successful way of the Great Men

Staying alone, it is a good way to train yourself because you will have more time to think about every thing. You should think about what you want to be or what is your goal for this life. Then write down skills that will be useful for your success. Your success may be not come for one day, but do not give up. As the great men like the Buddha, Mohummed, Christ, and Moses become the leaders of many followers because of staying alone in a remote place. They used that time to train themselves and later they realized the truth. After realizing, what they had discovered was useful for the mankind. So, don't feel lonely to take yourself away from the city or friends and practice yourself.

Develop Your Positive Sides

After realizing your negative sides, you begin examining your positive sides by writing down them on your paper. If you cannot find them, try not to do any negative things. That is a way to develop your positive sides. The fast way to develop your positive sides is to set them as a goal in your mind and try to cultivate it until it becomes your permanent behavior. Never give up your goal.

Sleeping in the temple

It may be a strange story when hearing some one stays in a temple. You may imagine to the one who has no house, or is a wandering man, or a poor man or whatever.

Carefully thinking, temple is a quite place where is simple and has no Maya.

It is lucky to me that I find the temple where is the suitable place for me to stay for a few days a week. I enjoy staying alone, reading, meditating and whatever. My simple life develops my spirituality and I have learnt to understand myself and the world better. I realise the peace of mind.

I suggest you finding a temple and sleeping there for some periods of time at least one a year. It is easy to find suitable temples in Thailand. First visiting a temple, just walk to meet an abbot and ask for staying for a couple of days or week. That is a chance to begin devolping your spirituality like me.

Good luck to you to learn yourself.


Learn your bad sides

Are you angry at any person who blames your mistakes or even comments you? Sure, you are angry because you do not learn to know yourself well. You are agry because you hold  that you are a right person, a perfect person. That is an normal thingking of all people who always think they are right. This idea is right only you see yourself, but it may be different from the other eyes.

We have to accept the truth that we are not a perfect one. We can not do any thing that satisfies every body. So, learning to know your bad sides is a way to discover yourself. Find your bad sides before other point out you. Whoever is blaming you, you will not be angry at them any more because you know yourself very well.


You may write down  a list of your bad sides on your paper and consider how you can manage them. Some days you may wonder why you enjoy with any body who is blaming or commenting you. You may say "that's all right" or "Yes, I am a bad man" like me. 

Good Luck and live peacefully on this changing world.

Your good friend

Ask yourself, what is friend? Yes, around us is our friends. But they may not our real friends. The real friend is a person who has good wish to us. Beside this that is not your real friend.


It is not easy to find the real friend throughout your life. The reason is because of you that behave differently from others.


If you cannot find any good friend, I suggest you that you yourself are a good freind. MAKE YOURSELF to be your good friend by doing a good thing. Sure, you may stay and do alone. You may feel lonely because you have no any person to speak to. However, staying alone is a good way to practice yourself in some skills that may be useful for your life. Those skills that have been trained well in some periods of time will benifit for your life.


I have learnt that my good friend is myself. I have trained myself on useful skills that may help me for living in the future. I read and I further study. I have earned my life or sometime controlled myself by walking on right way; my life never falls. On the other hand, it goes high and high.


Learn to know yourself, you will be like me.


Good luck.

I Will be a Better Man

It is not easy to be a better man if you don't understand yourself.  Naturally, human beings are both positive and nagative sides. You must to learn to know about them. Basically, we learn to know ourself by seeing our nagative side in our mind first and then learn to know stop them working. If you learn more about yourself, you will realize that you are a bad man. It is not meant that you do a bad thing but you realize you are not yet perfect man.


After realzing your bad side inside yourself, the positvie inner qualities will be continuously developed.
