jaffacakes1 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 More than a few inches off my gut, an addiction to chilli, increased patience, basic command of Thai, increased motorcycle rider awareness skills. Most importantly however, time to think. Expect to achieve more in year 2. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ABCer Posted October 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I am a bit confused by the question in OP. I do not think we have a purpose to 'achieve' anything in life. We are born (accident, nobody asks us); we live (if we are lucky); we die (that is the law). In any case 'achievement' is only a perception. Sometimes ours, often in other's minds. I'm 72+ - is this my 'achievement'? Don't think so. Just luck. I have more than necessary for a person to live decently. Is this my 'achievement'? Don't think so. Just luck. Last year I bought a very fast trimaran (wanted it for years). Can this be termed as my 'achievement'? Don't think so. Helping my wife's daughter to get a Uni degree (just paying fees). No obligations, just my choice. When she graduates will it be my 'achievement'? Don't think so. Live on the beach with spectacular views from a high floor. Is this my 'achievement'? Not really. Living in Thailand I eat european food (cooked myself, now my wife cooks it for me and eats it too) just because I prefer it. Is this an 'achievement'? Don't think so. Now I am content and at peace with myself. Is this a kind of 'achievement'? Not sure. Maybe just my luck or nature. I came to this country to live and die here. If/when this will happen will it be my 'achievement'? You tell me... Edited October 30, 2013 by ABCer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thailiketoo Posted October 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2013 Not too long ago Thailand, a member of SEATO, asked the UK and US and Australia for help against the Communist insurgency that was sweeping across South East Asia at the time. The UK, US and Australia came to Thailand and helped and so did I. Millions were killed in South East Asia. Not in Thailand. I came and built roads and airports and provided infrastructure and security for Thailand from the forces that were trying to do the same thing that was happening in the rest of South East Asia. Today, I drive on the roads that I built and fly out of airports that I constructed and interact with Thai people that would have been dead if I had not come to Thailand. I’m not alone or unusual. I know a couple of thousand people living in Thailand today that can say the same thing. And of course there are thousands who served and protected Thailand that have now returned home when their time to serve had ended. I realize many on this site don't know of the UK, US and Australian involvement in the defense of Thailand in the 1960's and 1970's. Anyone who has any questions can get most of the information by searching the SEATO treaty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 More than a 100 years ago, The then king of Thailand came to England to ask the help of Queen Victoria, He came to ask help because France wanted to invade Thailand, The English Queen and Germany said no to France, the rest is history. that's what Britain has done for Thailand , long before the second world war, or the 60s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren McKenzie Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sometimes it is about what you haven't done. I will have left behind no children, debts, discarded cigaret buts or beer cans, and hopefully no regrets. I have been happy to leave others to their own devices as they blaze their own path. I have not shoved strong convictions in the faces of others about what they should do or how they should do it. I hope that I didn’t get in anyones way while I was enjoying my brief stay on this planet. I will leave nothing but footprints and take away nothing but memories. "Sometimes it is about what you haven't done" Simply unbelievable. Success is NEVER judged by what you haven't done. A man is judged by who he is is and what he has achieved. You sound depressed, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
