TED: Mechai Viravaidya: How Mr. Condom made Thailand a better place

How to think outside of the box? Can condom bring better future in a country? Again, this is another fascinating and inspiring talk in TED about How Mr. Condom made Thailand a better place by  Mechai Viravaidya. From this talk, we are going to discover the power of condom to save the lives of people, the power of commitment from the people to change their future, and the power of education to made Thailand a better place in a short period of time.





Indeed, a combination of right approach, commitment and education, everything is possible. However, the question is, how many of us have this kind of commitment, how many of us are willing to accept this kind of education, and how many of us are putting our afford to search right approach in our life.

In the stock market investment, for example, how many of us are willing to learn the right approaches, how many of us are looking for the right education, and how many of us have commitment to do them?

Commitment is different from desire.

Of course, all "investors" are desired to earn money from stock market. But, having commitment is another story. Commitment is applying right approach in a long period of time without affected by other people point of view. This is very hard and required lots of self-discipline. Desire, on the other hand, is just sort of temporary feeling. Therefore, it is a good idea to ask yourself whether I am desired or committed to have a relationship first before searching your soul-mate, for instance.

Couple Relationship Tips: Improve your relationship with commitment approach

In my last post, "Couple Relationship Tips: Boost your relationship during Valentine's day?", I have stated out two effective tips to improve relationship via communication effectively with each other and build a good habit together.

This article depicts how to bring your relationship forward via commitment approach by answering the questions of "what is commitment in a relationship?" and "how to use commitment to boost your relationship?"

1. What is commitment in a relationship?
According to theory of love developed by psychologist Robert Sternberg, commitment encompasses, in the short term, the decision to remain with another, and in the long term, the shared achievements and plans made with that other.

On advertisement perspective, commitment is buying a big diamond ring to your partner, to have an unforgeable marriage ceremony, to buy 9999 roses for your partner, to have a dinner at 5 stars hotel etc. Since all of them need quite a lot of money, is this mean commitment equals to money? The more money you spend, the more commitment you have given to your partner? My answer is definitely NO.

Personally, commitment is an action. Having a marriage ceremony is an action to show your commitment to your partner in front of your relative and friends. Having a ring is an action to show that you are not available and you are not interested in other relationship. To reject an invitation from your ex or other handsome man or beautiful girl is an action to show how strong your commitment and confidence on current relationship.

2. How to use commitment to boost your relationship?
Let your partner know where you are and what you are doing to avoid he or she to worry about you. You should take initiative to tell your partner to show your commitment.

Show your commitment to bring happiness to your partner instead of disaster, such as get rid of your bad habit, quit your cigarette habit, invest your time properly to create wealth which will increase your quality of life.

Remember, if you are really serious about your relationship, do your homework and spend more time with your partner to improve your understanding with each other. Nothing good will come to your life spontaneously unless you put your enough effort to pursuit them.

Good luck and have a nice day^^

Couple Relationship Tips: Boost your relationship during Valentine's day?

This may be very important for us to have a memorable and fantastic Valentine's day to improve our relationship and subsequently move our relationship forward to the next level, if possible. It might be sound good to spend some money to have a precious gift such as diamond and a wonderful dinner in 5 star hotel during this special day, Valentine's day. However, what I suggest is constantly improve your relationship instead of an "occasionally mass improvement" during so called "special days". Although it cannot be denied that those special days or events are important throughout our life, personally, I will just treat them as reminders for me to improve my relationship in daily basis.

Now, I would like to share with you about my top two tips to improve your relationship throughout your life.



1. Communicate effectively with each other 
This is my first suggestion because this is extremely crucial to avoid any misunderstanding between couple. Many couples around me broke up just because this kind of misunderstanding. This is because many of us believe our partner should know what we want and it is not necessary to speak out our feeling, our desires, or our opinions. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Try to ask "Please tell me what you want?" It is because some of us don't even know what we want. Aren't you? Therefore, how can you so sure that your partner knows about it??? This is the biggest mistake in human being, we just put our life into default and wishing that good thing will come to our life.

Besides that, try to ask your partner if you have no idea about your partner expectation on you and try to tell your partner what you wish to have, where you wish to go, and what you wish to do. Then, discuss those wishes with your partner, accomplish them together and vice versa. In short, to eliminate communication problem between couple will be the only way to maintain and then improve your relationship.

2. Build a new good habit together
There are a lot of fantastic experience for me to go almost everywhere with my girlfriend. This is not because we just born like that. But it is because we build our relationship together, create several new health habits, swimming and hiking, for example, together. As a result, our relationship is very strong.

In order words, try to change yourself to be a better person. Everyone hopes his or her partner is a health and active person. Moreover, the only thing in this world you can change is YOURSELF.

Look! There are a lot of activities to boost your relationship in your daily basis. Remember your partner and you are living together 365 days annually and not just living together during those special events. I hope these top two tips will help you to build a long term relationship in your life.

Good luck and have a nice day^^
