ทุกอย่างมี 2 ด้านให้เราคิดเสมอ ..ลองอ่านดูนะ เค้าเขียนดี

การช่วยเหลือที่ถ้ำหลวงในครั้งนี้ จริงอยู่เราสูญเสียทรัพยากรมากมาย เพื่อกอบกู้ 13 ชีวิต

แต่ทำไมนะ ผมคิดว่าทุกอย่างที่เราเสียไป มันไม่ใช่เสียเปล่า แต่เราได้อะไรกลับคืนมา มากมายเหลือเกินจากเหตุการณ์นี้

1) ท่ามกลางปัญหา เราได้เห็นว่า ประเทศไทยมีคนที่ความสามารถในการจัดการได้ดี และมีความเป็นผู้นำสูงมาก อย่างท่านผู้ว่าฯเชียงราย เมื่อเกิดเหตุ ท่านวางแผน และจัดการปัญหาเฉพาะหน้าได้อย่างรวดเร็ว ทำให้เห็นว่า คนที่จะมาถึงตำแหน่งนี้ได้ ไม่ได้มาเพราะโชคช่วย

2) เราได้เห็น ความเด็ดขาดของผู้ว่า โดยเฉพาะที่บอกว่า คนที่อยากมาช่วย ใครอยากมาก็มาได้ แต่ต้องมาถกหลักการกันก่อน ว่าสิ่งที่นำเสนอมันทำได้หรือไม่ หรือว่าเป็นไอเดียที่จะถ่วงทีมให้ช้าลง ไม่ใช่ว่าคนที่อยากช่วยจะมีประโยชน์ทั้งหมด ซึ่งผู้มีอำนาจเด็ดขาด ต้องเลือกใช้คนให้ถูก ไม่ใช่รับความช่วยเหลือไปเสียทุกอย่าง

3) แน่นอน ใครๆก็รู้ว่าการค้นหาเด็กให้พบคือสิ่งสำคัญ แต่ ผู้ว่าฉลาดมาก ที่ให้ความสำคัญก่อนกับ "คนที่เข้าไปช่วย" อะไรที่เสี่ยงภัย เช่น ดำน้ำในสภาวะเสี่ยงเกินไป หรือ การเสี่ยงว่ายน้ำโดยมีโอกาสเสี่ยงไฟดูดไฟช็อต ผู้ว่าจะไม่ยอมให้หน่วยซีลลงน้ำ ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องถูกต้องแล้ว การช่วยหนึ่งคน ไม่ได้แปลว่าต้องเอาชีวิตของอีกคนเข้าไปแลก

4) เราได้เห็นว่า กลยุทธ์อะไรก็ตาม ต้องมีแผนสำรองอยู่เสมอ ในตอนแรกแผนดั้งเดิม คือให้หน่วยซีล เข้าถ้ำไปเรื่อยๆ เพื่อไปหาทั้ง 13 คนที่ติดถ้ำ แต่สุดท้าย เราก็มีแผนสอง คือตรวจเช็กปล่องด้านบนภูเขา ว่าจะสามารถหย่อนตัว ทะลุถึงถ้ำได้เลยหรือไม่ และแผนสามคือไอเดียการเจาะภูเขา การไปถึงจุดหมาย ไม่จำเป็นต้องมีแผนเดียว แต่การเปิดรับทุกหนทางที่เป็นไปได้ ก็ยิ่งมีโอกาสไปถึงเป้าหมายเร็วขึ้น

5) เราได้รู้จักหน่วยซีล ว่าคืออะไร บางคนไม่รู้เลยว่าที่ไทยก็มีด้วย ได้รู้ว่า SEAL ย่อจาก (SEa - Air - Land) คือหน่วยรบที่ปฏิบัติงานได้ทั้งในทะเล บนอากาศ และภาคพื้นดิน เป็นหน่วยทหารที่มีสภาพร่างกายแข็งแกร่ง ผ่านการฝึกหฤโหด และในยามคับขัน ความยอดเยี่ยมของหน่วยซีล ก็สามารถเป็นประโยชน์กับภารกิจได้

6) เราได้รู้จักภูมิศาสตร์ของประเทศไทยมากขึ้น หลายคนรู้จักถ้ำหลวงเป็นครั้งแรก ได้รู้ว่าขุนน้ำนางนอนอยู่ตรงไหน ได้รู้ว่าเชียงรายก็มีสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวที่น่าสนใจแบบนี้ด้วย ได้รู้จักคำว่า "ถ้ำ" ในความหมายใหม่ บางถ้ำมันยาวเป็นกิโล และคดเคี้ยวเหมือนเขาวงกต

7) เราได้ความรู้เรื่องการเอาชีวิตรอดมากขึ้น ได้รู้จัก "กฎ 333" ว่าในภาวะใดบ้างที่คุณจะมีชีวิตรอดได้ คือ ขาดอากาศหายใจได้ 3 นาที , ขาดน้ำดื่มได้ 3 วัน , ขาดอาหารได้ 3 สัปดาห์ ถ้ามากกว่านี้ก็จะตาย (แต่แน่นอนนี่เป็นแค่กฎคร่าวๆไม่ได้ใช้ได้กับทุกคน) ได้ความรู้ว่า แม้จะไม่มีอาหาร แต่ร่างกายมนุษย์ สามารถดึงพลังงานสำรองที่สะสมในรูปไขมันมาใช้ได้

8) เราได้เห็นความเสียสละของคนในพื้นที่ ยอมให้สูบน้ำเข้าเทือกสวนไร่นา ทั้งๆที่พวกเขาเริ่มทำกสิกรรมกันแล้ว ไม่มีใครอยากทำให้ตัวเองวุ่นวาย และเสียผลประโยชน์ แต่สุดท้าย เมื่อมันเป็นเรื่องความเป็นความตาย ทุกคนเข้าใจดี ซึ่งนี่คือการเสียสละอย่างแท้จริง

9) เราได้เห็นความสามารถของสื่อมวลชน ในเงื่อนไขที่จำกัด ไม่มีอะไรพร้อมสักอย่าง คุณสามารถนำเสนอให้ สื่อของตัวเองมีความน่าสนใจได้ หรือไม่ คุณมีมุมมองที่เฉียบขาดมากกว่าที่อื่นหรือเปล่า และที่สำคัญ คุณจะเคารพกติกาที่เจ้าหน้าที่ตั้งไว้ หรือจะกล้าแหกกฎเพื่อได้ข่าวที่เหนือกว่าช่องอื่น

10) เราได้เห็น ทักษะการใช้โซเชียลเน็ตเวิร์กที่มีประสิทธิภาพ อย่างทวิตเตอร์ของ Mthai การนำเสนอข้อเท็จจริงอย่างตรงไปตรงมา รวดเร็วฉับไว ไม่ต้องสร้างดราม่า ก็สร้างความนิยมได้เช่นเดียวกัน

11) เราได้รู้ว่า สิ่งที่เราหวัง สิ่งที่เราคิด กับสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นหน้างาน มันไม่เหมือนกันเลย หลายๆอย่างเราคิดได้ แต่ในสถานการณ์จริงมันทำไม่ได้ มีคนบอกว่า ทำไมเราไม่ห้อยอาหารลอยน้ำไปให้ถึงมือเด็ก มีคนอธิบายว่า เพราะในถ้ำน้ำมันไม่ได้ไหลตรงๆเหมือนแม่น้ำ เอาของลอยน้ำ ก็ไปติดโขดหิน เด็กไม่ได้รับแน่นอน หรือ มีบางคนถามว่าทำไมไม่ระเบิดถ้ำ ก็มีคนอธิบายว่า ระเบิดแล้วถ้าหินถล่มลงมาจนปิดทางเข้าออกทั้งหมดล่ะ แบบนี้เด็กตายเลยไหม เราได้เข้าใจว่า สิ่งที่จินตนาการ มันอาจทำไม่ได้ในชีวิตจริง

12) เราได้รู้ว่า ในสังคมนี้ มีคนอยากเอาหน้ามากมาย บางคน รู้ว่าตัวเองไม่มีทักษะอะไรที่จะช่วยได้ (คือจะบอกว่า มาเป็นกำลังใจ อยู่ตรงไหนก็ส่งใจไปได้จริงไหม) แต่ก็อยากเอาตัวไปให้สื่อได้เห็นว่ามาลงพื้นที่แล้ว ในทางตรงกันข้าม มีคนจำนวนมากยอมทำงานหนักเป็นมดงาน เพื่อให้ภารกิจได้เดินหน้าต่อ แต่คนเหล่านี้ ไม่ได้ต้องการป่าวประกาศใดๆ เขาต้องการผลสำเร็จ ไม่ใช่ชื่อเสียงของตัวเอง

13) เราได้เห็นว่าในประเทศไทย ความเชื่อ กับ วิทยาศาสตร์มันสามารถไปด้วยกันได้อย่างประหลาด ในขณะที่ทีมงานกำลังจะเจาะถ้ำ ก็ยังต้องขออนุญาตจากเจ้าป่าเจ้าเขา หรือขณะที่ เราใช้เทคโนโลยีโดรนที่ล้ำยุคในการช่วยค้นหา แต่อีกด้านเราก็เห็นภาพชาวบ้านกราบไหว้ ครูบาบุญชุ่ม ที่เข้าไปทำพิธีเปิดตา มันเป็นส่วนผสมที่ไม่น่าเชื่อ แต่ก็เกิดขึ้นกับประเทศไทยจริงๆ

14) เราได้เห็นว่า ในยามที่ทุกคนกำลังสับสน ย่อมมีคนหาโอกาสฉวยผลประโยชน์เสมอ คนที่อ้างให้โอนเงินเข้าบัญชีตัวเอง อ้างขอเงินไปช่วย 13 ชีวิตติดถ้ำ แบบนี้มีเยอะ คนเสพข่าวสารต้องระวังให้ดี อย่าใจดี จนขาดสติ ต้องเช็กให้รอบคอบ เพราะคนชั่วโลกนี้มันมีเยอะ คนแบบนี้ต้องไม่ตายดีแน่

15) เราได้เห็นว่า ทุกความสามารถมีประโยชน์ ช่างไฟฟ้า นักขุดเจาะน้ำบาดาล ช่างต่อท่อ แพทย์ นักปีนเขา ทหาร นักข่าว พ่อครัว ช่างภาพ ล่าม นักวิทยาศาสตร์ ทีมกู้ภัย นักดำน้ำ นักดนตรี นักธรณีวิทยา ฯลฯ ในยามจำเป็น ทุกคนสามารถใช้ทักษะของตัวเอง เพื่อเป้าหมายสูงสุดร่วมกัน มันแสดงให้เห็นว่า ไม่มีอาชีพไหน เหนือกว่าอาชีพไหน ทุกคนสามารถสร้างสรรค์สังคมได้ในทางของตัวเอง

16) เราได้เห็นคนจินตนาการเยอะเหลือเกิน บางคนบอกว่าเด็กไปพัวพันกับคดียาเสพติด บางคนคิดไปขนาดว่า จริงๆเจอตัวเด็กตั้งนานแล้ว แต่ปล่อยออกมาไม่ได้ เพราะกำลังเคลียร์เรื่องยาเสพติดอยู่ มีทฤษฎีสมคบคิดมากมาย แต่สุดท้ายก็เหมือนอย่างที่ผู้ว่าบอกนั่นแหละ "ขอให้งดใช้จินตนาการ" และอย่างที่ รองผู้บัญชาการตำรวจภูธร ภาค 5 บอก "ถ้ำหลวงไม่ใช่พื้นที่สีแดง" คือ การคิดเรื่อยเปื่อย มีโทษมากกว่าประโยชน์นะ

17) เราได้เห็นว่า ในช่วง 3-4 วันแรกของเหตุการณ์ทุกคนยังจับต้นชนปลายไม่ถูก ทุกอย่างชุลมุนไปหมด แต่หลังจากนั้น ทุกอย่างก็เริ่มมีระบบระเบียบมากขึ้น รถราที่ใครจะขึ้นไปบนเขาก็ได้ โดนกันไว้ด้านล่าง เจ้าหน้าที่จัดรถโดยสาร รับส่งคนขึ้นลง ทำให้การจราจรไม่ติดขัด ขณะที่ ทีมงานก็มีการซักซ้อมอย่างดี ถ้าหากพบเด็กแล้วจะทำอย่างไร ทุกอย่างมีแบบแผนเป็นระบบ ไม่มั่วซั่ว อย่าดูถูกความสามารถของเจ้าหน้าที่เลย เขาก็พยายามทำทุกอย่างให้ง่ายที่สุดต่อการจัดการล่ะ

18) เราได้เห็น น้ำใจของชาวต่างชาติ บางคนมาช่วยผ่านทางรัฐบาลส่งมา บางคนเดินทางมาด้วยตัวเอง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นแบบไหน การที่ท่านแสดงถึงน้ำใจที่มี เราขอคารวะทุกท่าน มา ณ ที่นี้ มันทำให้เห็นอีกด้วยว่า ในยามวิกฤติ ไม่มีกำแพงของเชื้อชาติ

19) เราได้รู้ว่าข่าวสารสมัยนี้ไปเร็วมาก เรื่องเกิดแค่ 1 วัน ทั้งโลกรู้แล้วว่ามีเหตุคนติดถ้ำที่ไทย ซึ่งทำให้คนทั้งโลกจับตาดูอยู่ ทุกๆการกระทำ ทุกๆการตัดสินใจ จะเป็นบทพิสูจน์ให้โลกเห็นเลยว่า ประเทศไทย มีฝีมือแค่ไหน ในการรับมือกับปัญหา

20) หลายคนไปด่าเด็ก ว่าเด็กพวกนี้ไม่ควรได้รับการสรรเสริญอะไรทั้งนั้น เป็นเด็กซน แล้วทำให้คนอื่นเดือดร้อน คือทำไมใจร้อนรีบด่าจัง ยังไม่รู้ที่มาที่ไปอะไรเลยไม่ใช่หรอ ยังไม่รู้ว่าทำไมเขาต้องเอาตัวเองตกอยู่ในสถานการณ์นั้น น้ำขึ้นอย่างไร ต้องเอาตัวรอดแบบไหน ไม่มีใครรู้เหตุการณ์จริงๆเลย ได้แต่คาดเดาไปเรื่อย แล้วการที่ไปต่อว่าเด็กๆแบบนั้น มันยุติธรรมหรือ

21) และสมมติว่า เด็กๆผิดจริง ผมอยากให้คิดแบบนี้ครับ ว่าใน 13 คน (แม้จะมีโค้ชอยู่ก็เถอะ) แต่เด็กๆโดยรวม ส่วนใหญ่อายุระหว่าง 13-16 ปี พวกเขาก็ยังเด็ก ยังไม่มีประสบการณ์ชีวิต ยังทำอะไรไม่ทันคิด ตอนเราเป็นเด็ก เราไม่เคยทำผิดพลาดกันหรอ? เราก็เคยกันทั้งนั้น ผมเชื่อว่าเด็กพวกนี้ เขาเองไม่อยากให้คนอื่นลำบากหรอก เขาแค่ประเมินสถานการณ์ผิดไป ไม่รู้ว่าน้ำมันจะท่วมถ้ำได้ขนาดนั้น ชนิดที่ร้อยวันพันปี ไม่เคยท่วมแบบนี้ ไปมาหลายครั้งก็ไม่เคยเจอท่วม มันเป็นความผิดพลาดที่ไม่มีใครรู้ว่าจะเกิดขึ้น มันเป็นแจ๊กพ็อตพอดี คือไม่ต้องชมน่ะใช่ ตักเตือนได้ แต่ก็ไม่มีความจำเป็นต้องไปด่าเขาเหมือนกัน

22) สิ่งที่แต่ละองค์กรพยายามมอบให้เด็ก อย่างสโมสรเอสซีจี เมืองทองฯ อยากให้ทีมหมูป่า มาดูบอลที่สโมสร และได้โอกาสฝึกกับทีมเยาวชน หรือ สโมสรเชียงราย เตรียมให้ตั๋วดูบอลฟรีตลอดชีวิต มันไม่ใช่การมอบรางวัลให้คนทำผิด แต่มันเป็นการส่งกำลังใจให้ครอบครัวของเด็กต่างหาก ให้คุณพ่อคุณแม่ทุกคนมีแรงใจสู้ต่อว่า เจ้าจงรอดกลับมาเถอะนะ มีสิ่งดีๆรออยู่มากมาย อย่าเพิ่งมาจบชีวิตตอนนี้เลย

23) ใครอยากเอาชีวิตตัวเองไปเสี่ยงตาย คุณเอาตั๋วดูบอล มาแลกกับชีวิตทั้งชีวิต เป็นคุณ คุณเอาหรอ มีคนบอกว่า จากนี้ถ้าเด็กคนไหนอยากได้อะไร ก็คงวิ่งไปติดถ้ำ เพื่อให้คนช่วยออกมา แล้วจะได้มีผู้ใหญ่มาให้ของรางวัลมากมาย คือ ก็อยากเห็นเหมือนกัน ว่าใครจะเอาชีวิตตัวเองไปเสี่ยงกับของตอบแทนแบบนี้

24) อีกอย่าง ถ้าเด็ก "รอดชีวิต" จริงๆ การที่พวกเขาติดอยู่ในสถานการณ์ลำบากขนาดนี้ แล้วยังประคับประคองสติ จนรอดชีวิตได้ไม่คลุ้มคลั่งไปก่อน มันก็เป็นเรื่องน่าทึ่งนะ น่านั่งพูดคุยกับเขา ว่าในสถานการณ์บีบคั้น เขาคิดอะไร ถึงรอดตายมาได้ น่าจะเป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้กับอีกหลายๆคนได้เลย

25) รวมถึงเรื่องสภาพร่างกายด้วย ว่าในสภาพที่มีอาหารน้อย น้ำน้อย ทุกอย่างจำกัดหมด พวกเขามีอาการอย่างไรบ้าง และทำอย่างไรถึงรอดชีวิตมาได้ เป็นประสบการณ์ใหม่ ที่อนาคตถ้ามีคนโชคร้ายเจอเรื่องแบบนี้อีก จะได้พอมีแนวทางว่าต้องทำอย่างไร

26) ในครั้งนี้ ประเทศไทยแลกอะไรไปหลายอย่าง เงินทอง กำลังกาย ทรัพยากร แม้แต่ธรรมชาติ ป่าเขาอยู่ของมันดีๆ ก็จำเป็นต้องถูกตัดไม้ ระเบิดหิน เพื่อเพิ่มโอกาสในการช่วยเหลือทุกคนให้รอดปลอดภัย เราเสียอะไรไปเยอะมากจริงๆ

27) แต่สิ่งที่เราได้เรียนรู้จากเรื่องนี้ก็มากมายเช่นกัน กับภัยพิบัติที่เกิดขึ้นครั้งแรก ได้ประสบการณ์ ได้ความรู้ ได้อุทาหรณ์ ได้เห็นมุมมองจากคนทุกสาขาอาชีพ และได้เห็นคนทั้งประเทศรวมใจกันเป็นหนึ่ง

28) และเด็กๆ ถ้ารอดมาได้ พวกเขาจะได้รับรู้แน่นอนว่า คนทั้งชาติต้องแลกกับอะไรมาบ้าง เพื่อให้เขามีชีวิตต่อไป เขาจะใช้ชีวิตอย่างไม่ประมาทอีกเลยต่อจากนี้ และทั้ง 13 คน ก็จะกลายเป็นอนาคตของประเทศชาติเราต่อไปในทางใดทางหนึ่ง

29) ที่สำคัญที่สุดอีกข้อคือ เรื่องนี้จะเป็นข้อเตือนใจให้วัยรุ่น และเยาวชนของชาติคนอื่นๆ ให้คิดอ่านอะไรให้รอบคอบมากขึ้น และต้องตระหนักเลยว่า ต้องมีสติให้มาก เพราะเวลาเกิดเรื่องขึ้นมา ไม่ใช่แค่ตัวเองที่ลำบาก พ่อแม่ก็เป็นห่วง แถมคนอีกมากมาย ต้องมาลำบากเพื่อตัวเอง

30) แน่นอน ไม่มีใครอยากให้เกิดเหตุการณ์นี้ขึ้น แต่เมื่อมันเกิดขึ้นแล้ว แทนที่จะหัวเสีย ไปโมโหว่า "มันไม่ควรเกิดขึ้นแต่แรก" หรือ "ทำไมเด็กไม่อ่านป้ายคำเตือน" ก็ยอมรับความจริงตรงๆไหมว่ามันเกิดขึ้นแล้ว และ ย้อนคิดดีกว่า ว่าเราจะเก็บเกี่ยวอะไรได้บ้างจากเหตุการณ์นี้

จริงไหม?

ขอให้ผู้ช่วยเหลือ เจ้าหน้าที่ และผู้ประสบภัยทุกคนปลอดภัย

#ถ้ำหลวง #ทีมหมูป่า #HOPE
The help at tham luang is true. We lost a lot of resources to save 13 lives.

But why? I think everything we lost is not a waste, but we get so much back from this incident.

1) in the midst of problems, we have seen that Thailand has a very high leadership ability to manage and leadership like governor of Chiang Rai. When he quickly planned and manage the problem quickly, it shows that the person who will arrive at this position did not come because Lucky help

2) we have seen the truth of the governor, especially saying that those who want to help. Whoever wants to come, but we have to discuss the principle whether the presentation can do or is the idea to slow down the team, not that the one. If you want to help, it will be useful. All the authority must choose to use the right person, not receive all help.

3) of course, everyone knows that finding children is important, but the governor is very smart to focus on "people who help" something that is dangerous, such as diving in too risky or swimming with a chance to risk of sucking fire. Lot Gov won't let navy seal get into the water, which is right. Helping one doesn't mean taking another person's life in exchange.

4) we have seen that whatever strategy must always have a backup plan. The Original plan is to let navy seals keep going to go to the cave to the cave. But in the end, we have a second plan is to check the crater on top. Whether it can be able to go through the cave. And plan three is the idea of drilling mountains. Reaching the destination doesn't have to have one plan, but opening every possible way, the faster the chance to reach the goal.

5) we have known navy seal what it is. Some people don't know that Thailand also know that seal squat from (Sea-Air-land) is a force that works both in the sea, on air and ground as a military unit. Strong body condition through brutal training and in trouble, the superb of navy seal can benefit the mission.

6) we have known the geography of Thailand more. Many people know tham luang for the first time. We know where the nobleman is sleeping. Know that Chiang Rai also has interesting attractions like this. Know the word "Cave" in some new meaning. The Cave is a kilo long and crooked like a labyrinth.

7) we know more about survival. Know "Rule 333" what condition you can survive is lack of air for 3 minutes, lack of drinking water for 3 days, lack of food. 3 weeks. If more, I will die (but of course, this is just a sketchy rule. It doesn't work for everyone). I have knowledge that even without food, the human body can pull back up energy accumulated in fat.

8) We have seen the sacrifice of local people who allow to smoke water into the field. Even when they start doing karma, no one wants to mess themselves and lose benefit. But in the end, when it's death, everyone understands. Is truly a sacrifice.

9) we have seen the ability of the press in limited terms. Nothing is ready. Can you present to your media interesting? Do you have more sharp views than other places and most importantly, will you respect the rules that the authorities set? I will dare to break the rules to hear above other channels.

10) we have seen effective social networks skills like mthai twitter. Presenting facts, fast, fast, no need to create drama, it can create popularity as well.

11) we know that what we hope, what we think about what happens in front of the event is different. Many things we can think of. But in real situations, we can't do it. Someone says why we don't hang food to float water. A child's hand, someone explained that because in the cave, the oil doesn't flow straight like a river, put the floating stuff, then the water is stuck in the rock. The kid didn't get it for sure. Someone asked why they didn't explode the cave, someone explained that it exploded if All like this. Do kids die? We understand that what I imagine may not be done in real life.

12) we know that there are many people who want to face in this society. Some people know that they don't have any skills to help. (well, I want to say that I'm rooting for you can send my heart. is it true) but I want to give myself to I see that I have come to the area. On the contrary, there are many people who are willing to work hard as an ant to keep the mission to move on. But these people don't want any announcement. They want success,

13) we have seen that in Thailand, faith and science can go together freak together. While the team is about to penetrate the cave, we still need to ask permission from the forest or while we use great drone technology to help find our other side. I saw a picture of villagers paying respect to teacher ba bunchum who went to do an eye opening ceremony. It was an unbelievable combination, but it really happened

14) we have seen that when everyone is confused, there are always a chance to take advantage of those who claim to transfer money to their account claim to help 13 lives in the cave like this. There are many people who use news. Be careful. Don't be kind. I have to check it carefully because there are many people in this world. There are many people like this will not die.

15) we have seen that every ability is useful, electrician, groundwater driller, pipeline, doctor, hiker, soldier, journalist, photographer, photographer, rescue team, rescue team, musician, musician, geologists, etc. Everyone can use their own skills. For a common goal, it shows that no career surpasses any career. Everyone can create society in their own way.

16) we have seen a lot of imaginary people. Some people say that kids are involved in drug cases. Some people think that they have found the kid for a long time, but they can't let it out because they are clearing drugs. There are many conspiracy theories, but What the governor said, " Let's stop using imagination " and as the deputy commander of Phu Thon Police, part 5 says, " Tham Luang is not red area " is to think random. There is more punishable than

17) we saw that during the first 3-4 days of the incident, everyone still couldn't catch the beginning. Everything was commotion. But after that everything started to have more organized system. The car that anyone could go up on the hill got hit below the staff. Bus shuttle people up and down makes traffic from getting stuck while the team has a good practice. If they meet the kid, what to do? Everything has a pattern. Don't underestimate the ability of the officer. He tries to do everything as easy to manage.

18) we have seen the kindness of some foreigners to help through the government. Some people come by themselves. No matter what you show the kindness that we salute everyone here, it makes you see that in crisis, there is no wall of race.

19) we have known that news nowadays is going fast. It's happened for only 1 days. The whole world knows that there is a reason for people in the cave in Thailand which makes the whole world to watch every action, every decision will prove to the world. How skillful is Thailand to deal with problems

20) many people say that these kids should not be praised. They are naughty kids and hurt others. Why are they are you so impatient? Don't know what dobt. Don't they don't know why they have to put himself down. In that situation, how to survive. No one knows the real incident. But keep guessing. is it fair to blame kids like that?

21) and assuming that kids are wrong, I want you to think that in 13 people (even with coaches) but most kids are between 13-16 years old. They are young and have no life experience yet. I couldn't do anything when we were kids. Didn't we ever make mistakes? We used to each other. I believe these kids don't want other people to be difficult. They just underestimate the wrong situation. I didn't know that the oil could flood that much. The kind of a hundred days and a thousand years. I have never been flooded like this many times The mistake that no one knew would happen is jackpot. It's not to watch. Yes, I can warn, but there is no need to scold him either.

22) what each organization is trying to give to kids like scg muangthong club. Want the wild boar team to watch football at the club and get a chance to train with youth team or Chiang Rai Club. Prepare for free football tickets for the rest of their life. It's not to reward the wrong person, but it is sending encouragement to the family of children. Let all parents have energy. Keep fighting. Come back. There are many good things waiting. Don't end your life now.

23) who wants to risk your life? You take tickets to watch football for your whole life. Do you want it? Someone said that if any kid wants anything, they will run into the cave so that people can help out so that there will be adults. Come to give many rewards. I want to see who will risk their lives with this kind of return.

24) by the way, if kids really "survive" they are stuck in this difficult situation and still hold their mind until they survive. It's amazing. It's amazing to sit and talk to him that in the situation. Squeezed him. What did he think to survive? It should be an inspiration to many others.

25) including physical condition, in a condition with less food, everything is limited. How do they have symptoms and how to survive. It's a new experience in the future. If someone is unlucky, there will be a way to have a way to be a way. How to do it?

26) in this time, Thailand exchanged many things, money, body, resources, resources, even nature, the forest is good things need to be cut, stone exploded to increase the chances of helping everyone safe. We have lost a lot.

27) but there are many things we have learned from this. with the first disaster, experience, knowledge, see the perspective from every career field and see the whole country together as one.

28) and children, if they survive, they will surely know what the whole nation has to exchange for him to live. He will live careless. from now on, and all 13 of them will become the future of our nation. Next in some way

29) the most important thing is that this will be a reminder for teenagers and youth of other nations to think. Read more carefully and you need to realize that you need to be very conscious because when things happen, not just yourself that are difficult, parents are worried. Plus many people have to be tough for themselves.

30) of course no one wants this incident. But when it happens, instead of being angry that " it shouldn't happen in the beginning " or " why don't kids read the warning signs " accept the truth that it happened and Better think about what we can reap from this event

Is it true?

May all helpers, staff and victims be safe.

Below is the transcript of the talk of Dr. Richard Teo, who is a 40-year-old millionaire and cosmetic surgeon with a stage-4 lung cancer but selflessly
came to share with the D1 class his life experience on 19-Jan-2012.

Hi good morning to all of you. My voice is a bit hoarse, so please bear with me. I thought I'll just introduce myself. My name is Richard, I'm a medical doctor. And I thought I'll just share some thoughts of my life. It's my pleasure to be invited by prof. Hopefully, it can get you thinking about how... as you pursue this.. embarking on your training to become dental surgeons, to think about other things as well.

Since young, I am a typical product of today's society. Relatively successful product that society requires.. From young, I came from a below average family. I was told by the media... and people around me that happiness is about success. And that success is about being wealthy. With this mind-set, I've always be extremely competitive, since I was young.

Not only do I need to go to the top school, I need to have success in all fields. Uniform groups, track, everything. I needed to get trophies, needed to be successful, I needed to have colours award, national colours award, everything. So I was highly competitive since young. I went on to medical school, graduated as a doctor. Some of you may know that within the medical faculty, ophthalmology is one of the most highly sought after specialities. So I went after that as well. I was given a traineeship in ophthalmology, I was also given a research scholarship by NUS to develop lasers to treat the eye.

So in the process, I was given 2 patents, one for the medical devices, and another for the lasers. And you know what, all this academic achievements did not bring me any wealth. So once I completed my bond with MOH, I decided that this is taking too long, the training in eye surgery is just taking too long. And there's lots of money to be made in the private sector. If you're aware, in the last few years, there is this rise in aesthetic medicine. Tons of money to be made there. So I decided, well, enough of staying in institution, it's time to leave. So I quit my training halfway and I went on to set up my aesthetic clinic... in town, together with a day surgery centre.

You know the irony is that people do not make heroes out average GP (general practitioner), family physicians. They don't. They make heroes out of people who are rich and famous. People who are not happy to pay $20 to see a GP, the same person have no qualms paying ten thousand dollars for a liposuction, 15 thousand dollars for a breast augmentation, and so on and so forth. So it's a no brainer isn't? Why do you want to be a gp? Become an aesthetic physician. So instead of healing the sick and ill, I decided that I'll become a glorified beautician. So, business was good, very good. It started off with waiting of one week, then became 3weeks, then one month, then 2 months, then 3 months. I was overwhelmed; there were just too many patients. Vanities are fantastic business. I employed one doctor, the second doctor, the 3rd doctor, the 4th doctor. And within the 1st year, we're already raking in millions. Just the 1st year. But never is enough because I was so obsessed with it. I started to expand into Indonesia to get all the rich Indonesian tai-tais who wouldn't blink an eye to have a procedure done. So life was really good.

So what do I do with the spare cash. How do I spend my weekends? Typically, I'll have car club gatherings. I take out my track car, with spare cash I got myself a track car. We have car club gatherings. We'll go up to Sepang in Malaysia. We'll go for car racing. And it was my life. With other spare cash, what do i do? I get myself a Ferrari. At that time, the 458 wasn't out, it's just a spider convertible, 430. This is a friend of mine, a schoolmate who is a forex trader, a banker. So he got a red one, he was wanting all along a red one, I was getting the silver one.

So what do I do after getting a car? It's time to buy a house, to build our own bungalows. So we go around looking for a land to build our own bungalows, we went around hunting. So how do i live my life? Well, we all think we have to mix around with the rich and famous. This is one of the Miss Universe. So we hang around with the beautiful, rich and famous. This by the way is an internet founder. So this is how we spend our lives, with dining and all the restaurants and Michelin Chefs you know.

So I reach a point in life that I got everything for my life. I was at the pinnacle of my career and all. That's me one year ago in the gym and I thought I was like, having everything under control and reaching the pinnacle.

Well, I was wrong. I didn't have everything under control. About last year March, I started to develop backache in the middle of nowhere. I thought maybe it was all the heavy squats I was doing. So I went to SGH, saw my classmate to do an MRI, to make sure it's not a slipped disc or anything. And that evening, he called me up and said that we found bone marrow replacement in your spine. I said, sorry what does that mean? I mean I know what it means, but I couldn't accept that. I was like “Are you serious?” I was still running around going to the gym you know. But we had more scans the next day, PET scans - positrons emission scans, they found that actually I have stage 4 terminal lung cancer. I was like "Whoa where did that come from?” It has already spread to the brain, the spine, the liver and the adrenals. And you know one moment I was there, totally thinking that I have everything under control, thinking that I've reached the pinnacle of my life. But the next moment, I have just lost it.

This is a CT scan of the lungs itself. If you look at it, every single dot there is a tumour. We call this miliaries tumour. And in fact, I have tens of thousands of them in the lungs. So, I was told that even with chemotherapy, that I'll have about 3-4months at most. Did my life come crushing on, of course it did, who wouldn't? I went into depression, of course, severe depression and I thought I had everything.

See the irony is that all these things that I have, the success, the trophies, my cars, my house and all. I thought that brought me happiness. But i was feeling really down, having severe depression. Having all these thoughts of my possessions, they brought me no joy. The thought of... You know, I can hug my Ferrari to sleep, no... No, it is not going to happen. It brought not a single comfort during my last ten months. And I thought they were, but they were not true happiness. But it wasn't. What really brought me joy in the last ten months was interaction with people, my loved ones, friends, people who genuinely care about me, they laugh and cry with me, and they are able to identify the pain and suffering I was going through. That brought joy to me, happiness. None of the things I have, all the possessions, and I thought those were supposed to bring me happiness. But it didn't, because if it did, I would have felt happy think about it, when I was feeling most down..

You know the classical Chinese New Year that is coming up. In the past, what do I do? Well, I will usually drive my flashy car to do my rounds, visit my relatives, to show it off to my friends. And I thought that was joy, you know. I thought that was really joy. But do you really think that my relatives and friends, whom some of them have difficulty trying to make ends meet, that will truly share the joy with me? Seeing me driving my flashy car and showing off to them? No, no way. They won’t be sharing joy with me. They were having problems trying to make ends meet, taking public transport. In fact i think, what I have done is more like you know, making them envious, jealous of all I have. In fact, sometimes even hatred.

Those are what we call objects of envy. I have them, I show them off to them and I feel it can fill my own pride and ego. That didn't bring any joy to these people, to my friends and relatives, and I thought they were real joy.

Well, let me just share another story with you. You know when I was about your age, I stayed in king Edward VII hall. I had this friend whom I thought was strange. Her name is Jennifer, we're still good friends. And as I walk along the path, she would, if she sees a snail, she would actually pick up the snail and put it along the grass patch. I was like why do you need to do that? Why dirty your hands? It’s just a snail. The truth is she could feel for the snail. The thought of being crushed to death is real to her, but to me it's just a snail. If you can't get out of the pathway of humans then you deserve to be crushed, it’s part of evolution isn't it? What an irony isn't it?

There I was being trained as a doctor, to be compassionate, to be able to empathise; but I couldn't. As a house officer, I graduated from medical school, posted to the oncology department at NUH. And, every day, every other day I witness death in the cancer department. When I see how they suffered, I see all the pain they went through. I see all the morphine they have to press every few minutes just to relieve their pain. I see them struggling with their oxygen breathing their last breath and all. But it was just a job. When I went to clinic every day, to the wards every day, take blood, give the medication but was the patient real to me? They weren't real to me. It was just a job, I do it, I get out of the ward, I can't wait to get home, I do my own stuff.

Was the pain, was the suffering the patients went through real? No. Of course I know all the medical terms to describe how they feel, all the suffering they went through. But in truth, I did not know how they feel, not until I became a patient. It is until now; I truly understand how they feel. And, if you ask me, would I have been a very different doctor if I were to re-live my life now, I can tell you yes I will. Because I truly understand how the patients feel now. And sometimes, you have to learn it the hard way.

Even as you start just your first year, and you embark this journey to become dental surgeons, let me just challenge you on two fronts.

Inevitably, all of you here will start to go into private practice. You will start to accumulate wealth. I can guarantee you. Just doing an implant can bring you thousands of dollars, it's fantastic money. And actually there is nothing wrong with being successful, with being rich or wealthy, absolutely nothing wrong. The only trouble is that a lot of us like myself couldn't handle it.

Why do I say that? Because when I start to accumulate, the more I have, the more I want. The more I wanted, the more obsessed I became. Like what I showed you earlier on, all I can was basically to get more possessions, to reach the pinnacle of what society did to us, of what society wants us to be. I became so obsessed that nothing else really mattered to me. Patients were just a source of income, and I tried to squeeze every single cent out of these patients.

A lot of times we forget, whom we are supposed to be serving. We become so lost that we serve nobody else but just ourselves. That was what happened to me. Whether it is in the medical, the dental fraternity, I can tell you, right now in the private practice, sometimes we just advise patients on treatment that is not indicated. Grey areas. And even though it is not necessary, we kind of advocate it. Even at this point, I know who are my friends and who genuinely cared for me and who are the ones who try to make money out of me by selling me "hope". We kind of lose our moral compass along the way. Because we just want to make money.

Worse, I can tell you, over the last few years, we bad mouth our fellow colleagues, our fellow competitors in the industry. We have no qualms about it. So if we can put them down to give ourselves an advantage, we do it. And that's what happening right now, medical, dental everywhere. My challenge to you is not to lose that moral compass. I learnt it the hard way, I hope you don't ever have to do it.

Secondly, a lot of us will start to get numb to our patients as we start to practise. Whether is it government hospitals, private practice, I can tell you when I was in the hospital, with stacks of patient folders, I can't wait to get rid of those folders as soon as possible; I can't wait to get patients out of my consultation room as soon as possible because there is just so many, and that's a reality. Because it becomes a job, a very routine job. And this is just part of it. Do I truly know how the patient feels back then? No, I don't. The fears and anxiety and all, do I truly understand what they are going through? I don't, not until when this happens to me and I think that is one of the biggest flaws in our system.

We’re being trained to be healthcare providers, professional, and all and yet we don't know how exactly they feel. I'm not asking you to get involved emotionally, I don't think that is professional but do we actually make a real effort to understand their pain and all? Most of us won’t, alright, I can assure you. So don't lose it, my challenge to you is to always be able to put yourself in your patient's shoes.

Because the pain, the anxiety, the fear are very real even though it's not real to you, it's real to them. So don't lose it and you know, right now I'm in the midst of my 5th cycle of my chemotherapy. I can tell you it’s a terrible feeling. Chemotherapy is one of those things that you don't wish even your enemies to go through because it's just suffering, lousy feeling, throwing out, you don't even know if you can retain your meals or not. Terrible feeling! And even with whatever little energy now I have, I try to reach out to other cancer patients because I truly understand what pain and suffering is like. But it's kind of little too late and too little.

You guys have a bright future ahead of you with all the resource and energy, so I’m going to challenge you to go beyond your immediate patients. To understand that there are people out there who are truly in pain, truly in hardship. Don’t get the idea that only poor people suffer. It is not true. A lot of these poor people do not have much in the first place, they are easily contented. for all you know they are happier than you and me but there are out there, people who are suffering mentally, physically, hardship, emotionally, financially and so on and so forth, and they are real. We choose to ignore them or we just don't want to know that they exist.

So do think about it alright, even as you go on to become professionals and dental surgeons and all. That you can reach out to these people who are in need. Whatever you do can make a large difference to them. I'm now at the receiving end so I know how it feels, someone who genuinely care for you, encourage and all. It makes a lot of difference to me. That’s what happens after treatment. I had a treatment recently, but I’ll leave this for another day. A lot of things happened along the way, that's why I am still able to talk to you today.

I'll just end of with this quote here, it's from this book called Tuesdays with Morris, and some of you may have read it. Everyone knows that they are going to die; every one of us knows that. The truth is, none of us believe it because if we did, we will do things differently. When I faced death, when I had to, I stripped myself off all stuff totally and I focused only on what is essential. The irony is that a lot of times, only when we learn how to die then we learn how to live. I know it sounds very morbid for this morning but it's the truth, this is what I’m going through.

Don’t let society tell you how to live. Don’t let the media tell you what you're supposed to do. Those things happened to me. And I led this life thinking that these are going to bring me happiness. I hope that you will think about it and decide for yourself how you want to live your own life. Not according to what other people tell you to do, and you have to decide whether you want to serve yourself, whether you are going to make a difference in somebody else's life. Because true happiness doesn't come from serving yourself. I thought it was but it didn't turn out that way. With that I thank you, if you have any questions you have for me, please feel free. Thank you.

The local government in Ibaraki gave us free reign for three days to film whatever places we wanted, and I happened to stumble upon this cafe through my frantic googling. THANK GOD WE DID because this is legitimately the most beautiful restaurant we've ever seen in our lives!! It's right next to a waterfall (which you can walk under) on a mountainside and there is nothing else nearby. No ugly cities right out of view, just nature and this beautiful soba restaurant! There are a lot of other waterfalls nearby, as well as apple orchards, a river, and some lovely cafes and ryokans. If you get a chance, I recommend stopping by Daigo for a day! It's probably best to rent a car because I'm not sure how accessible most places are by train!
