My family has two super-active kids. The older one, NB, loves tennis. He's a little tennis player. He started to play since he was 4 years old...Our first only and still objective of ours of introducing him to this sport is wishing him to have a sport he can play with us, with his baby brother, with his friends, with his wife, his children and (maybe) his grandchildren when he grows up... At this moment, we believe that he has attained more and more than we firstly anticipated.
Three years has passed, his skills have been improved tremendously. He practices at least 3 times a week; one is a private lesson with a USTA-certified coach, and other two are group lessons along with 10 of his classmates.
Last summer, he won a trophy as a runner-up in a boy-under-10 division. This year, he is going to compete more regularly in in-state tournaments.
His primary weapon is his brain.... Although he can play power tennis.... you know, tennis with a lot of muscle... But his coach has trained him to be a player who plays with crafty styles.... It's not necessary to win points with full energy but he has been coached to win points by burning and draining energy from his opponents.
Both sides of his hand are awesome.... I would like to show you his picture when he's hitting his two-handed backhand.
================================= 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.

But I'm glad I found my passion soon enough and had the courage to act on it. It was intimidating at first but now I can do it in my sleep.
