Wat Pho – one day trip
July in Thailand is summer time, we always get out for a photoshoot at the holiday. This time I went to the famous place which is attracted many visitors from country around the world every year.
One of another most famous temple in Bangkok besidse the Thai Grand Palace is Wat Pho. This is one of the oldest temple in Bangkok, located in Rattanakosin Island. The founded year is maybe around 16th century and has been re-established by King Rama I in 1782.
You can take a 10-minute walk from Thai Grand Palace to see the combination of Thai and Chinese culture there.
Since the weather is hot at that time and the temple is quite large, you may bring your water before entering there.
“Walking there may take you half a day but I do believe it worth a visit once.”
Think big – Act small
The purpose is that to make ourselves achieve the “Big Dream”, the “Large Goals” or whatever, while keep completing the “small actions”, “cheap effort”, “achievable step” in order to make those aggregated achievement to the “Big Large Dream Goal”.
Here are some suggestions you can start applying with any goal of yours.
- Keep it specific (who what where why how)
-
Keep it easy
-
Keep it fun and enjoyable
-
Keep it immediate (can be completed in a short time)
-
Keep it cheap
-
Keep it real (real world action)
-
Keep it social (to gather feedback)
-
Build on your strength
Finally “Celebrate your small win” is the must.
Troubleshooting:
- if you find it difficult to achieve, it might because it is too big, then break it into small achievable, enjoyable and cheap steps.
