Chance to think about myself


I had one mission in this project from last three month, and I worked on the mission. But yesterday I realized I couldn't succeed it, even felt couldn't do anything for my mission....

I realized that I had too much pride and confidence for what I have = my ability. I was think I have ability to do everything for this project, I could think what experts is thinking. But now it is the time to admit that I have to improve myself more to reach the level of our experts.

I work for this project as local staff, not as expert. But I always tried to work in the level of expert, be the part of the expert team, cause I think I can do it. But the result was that always they amazed me. their way of thinking, their knowledge, their management and their way to make decision, and whatever.

Even I sometimes feel I'm useless in this project, they can do anything without me, I can't do anything without them.

Last three years in AIESEC, I worked with very smart guys, but I am as well as you are. I had so much of confidence of my ability, and in real I think I had.

Now this project is challenging me. How much I can work like in the level of the experts. I have to admit my ability is not enough now. But I shouldn't depress for it, but I should think I need to develop myself more!!!!

thanks for this chance to think about myself again
this is the time to drop my confidence
and to be developing person!!!!
Be hunger!!

Study Tour in Thailand about OTOP !!!!



The concept of One District One Product (ODOP) is from Japanese One Village One Product (OVOP), that's why we as Japanese, are supporting to promote the ODOP movement here. In this time 11days end of July, we visit to learn OTOP (in Thailand). OTOP was highly promoted very well with a lot of budget in 10 years ago, and now the movement is considered as succeeded case.



Our team is formed with Gov staff, producers, ODOP staff and Expert. It was quite nice chance to see and think about the function and system of OTOP to utilize into ODOP in Laos for them.

And for me, there were a lot of learning, especially the new idea of products. We can decide any products as ODOP, so ODOP list is unlimited. But it means that we have to be innovator. And Innovation is mostly from the combination between experiences. To see and to mortice the possibility of the way to development new products is one of the responsibility of the person who support and suggest to villagers. In this way, I can feel self-developmet from this Study tour.
