When He Speaks, Many Smart People Listen Very Carefully.
=============================================
It was another great Sunday: One football match in the morning, then the following match ensued.
It was around 6PM, there'd be another football match on NBC around 6:30PM. Thus, my son and I had some (unwanted) break from football, so we turned our TV to CBS to watch the Sixty Minutes....
The featuring guest of this Sunday show was Alan Greenspan... The long-time FED chairman who served as many as 6 American presidents during his long long tenure.
When he was working at FED, people listened to him carefully when he addressed numbers related to American economy and their implications. And, his predictions were more or less true.
Thus, I listened to him carefully.... There was nothing much, yet some of his words/phrases/sentences might catch your attention:
1) Recession 2) Return of Inflation 3) It's just a beginning. 4) It's not that bad, we'll recover.
These were ominous signs of a bursting bubble economy from a noble American economist about his own country's economics.
If you're interested in American economy, you should listen to him, a man whom always be listened.
Sorry I missed your call. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't call back. I thought it was someone calling to make a reservation at Holiday Inn! I've got lots of calls like that. My number obviously used to be the hotel's number.
Please try again and if I'm not answering the phone please leave a message so I know it's you and I'll call you back without fail!
================================= Note: My life has been intertwined with works and many others. New responsibility has emerged, resulting less and less time for my ordinary life. Although, a love to write is still intact... But having less time is related to having less imagination.... Therefore, I could not come up with new writings for quite some times.
It might be a good time for me to leave this forum for moment.... Please take it as Mr. A.T. is having a sabbactatical leave or something like that....
As noted above, my love to write is still the same... and will not be changed. Sometimes somehow, I hope I could come back and give some thoughts in this blog once more.
Cheers, Mr. A.T. June 6th, 2008

Hello,
My pen-name in Pantip is amatuer translator. Actually, I'm a lousy translator with lame translation. My pen-name is somewhat misleading, I have no background in linguistics what-so-ever. Anyway I love to read, write and communicate with people...
Reading is my most favorite hobby. I read everything from shopping bags to articles in theoretical physics. I do research and teaching for my living. So, reading, writing, thinking and doing research works are my everyday routine.
I would like to define myself as a person who is accepting new ideas and adopting those into my way of life.
I believe in power of knowledge/education. I think every society can be a better society with knowledge. Ignorance can be dispelled by it. Humanity can live sustainably and harmoniously with each other along with its biosphere with understandings in the nature surrounding it.
Apart from my philosophical thoughts reflecting who I am, I can tell you something I like or love in particular;
I love dogs.... Particularly, labradore retrievers.... One day, I would like to spend my time and life with them as a big part of my family.
Zhuge Liang is my hero. With his wisdom and faithfulness, he led a tiny army to a mighty and formidable kingdom. He left his humble residence with a hope to come back. But, sadly, he had never returned and died far far away from home in a horse carriage in a battle field. If I could choose where I would, I would say where-ever my lovely wife was nearby.
I value happiness and my family as my first priority. My profession and my philosophy come in the second. Pursuit in wealth has never been in my desire.
I'm glad to be your friend, and look forward to seeing you around krub.
