Before I didn’t understand why people say ‘some true story we should not know’. Now, I understand the meaning. After I sense the story behind my fall that year, I am so hurt.  I try to plug my eyes, still I cannot block the tears. It is really painful to know that when I was about to fall, people who were close to me actually could save me, but they didn’t because they were afraid that I would go up higher than them, they didn’t even alert me and stood to see me falling into the deep well of mud.  It was not the imagination. I have guessed for many years, but I didn’t want to believe it; I still refused to believe it because they were who I trusted the most. However, I cannot deny it. When the time is right, though I have a strong head, I can’t, I must accept the truth that is so painful like this. But after I accepted it, my heart is not heavy anymore. The mountain I carried for almost ten years, at the end I can put it down. Now, I know what is the true face of the world, but it does

This is lunch I made for my family.  I don't know how to call it in English, in Khmer we call it 'Trey Jian Juon' (fried fish with ginger and sweet soybean). To cook it, first of all, I have to learn how to fry the fish. It is not easy. I have to make its meat to be well cooked while its skin is golden red and crispy - not hard or burn.  I have been learning it since 2007, still my fried fish is not as good as my grandma's. Before I entered the kitchen, the first thing my mother told me was about the danger while frying fish, then she instructed me how to prevent and protect it. After that, she taught how to cook - what to put first, what to put secondly, etc. I just found out that this kind of work is similar to doing business. I feel it will be useful if I study the process of cooking and convert to doing the trade. At first, I thought about the strong points and weak points of myself, but I didn’t think about the danger - the causes that might pull my business to los

I am wondering: 1. Why do people invest in famous/big enterprises?  2. Why don't they invest or cooperate with these small business people?  3. Not only the small businesses but also the medium businesses meet zero investors.   In my own opinion, some small businesses give more stable income than the big businesses.  Well, unfortunately, I don’t have money. If I were rich, I would think about investment with the small and medium enterprises.

I have learnt a lot during my pause from writing on Blogger. The one thing I found was powerful no matter in business or the working field is 'silence'. What does it mean? It means: - You don't tell anyone about your plan. Even if you sit at your table or stay in bed, you work on your project alone. - You put a fence between you and people though they are your family or friends. You don't say much with them and you don't interact with them often like before. - You are not active on social media except pages or platforms related to your project. - You don't show even a small clue about what you are going to do. Unless they are smart enough or they will not be able to catch up that you are advancing yourself. - You don't talk too much. Though you meet anyone, you seem to show your smile and listen to them much more than open your lips. These are what I have learnt from successful people. There are more than this but I am able to understand only these few meani

  In 2006, I applied for a receptionist post in an international school, located in Phnom Penh. And now, I wish to show the interview script at that time, based on what I remember. After I got shortlisted, I was called to attend the first interview. The interviewer was a Khmer lady, and she was manager of the school. I : interviewer M : me In the interview room... I : Can I interview you in English? M : Yes. I : Okay, then start. Hello, I am the manager of the school. Now, please introduce yourself. M : My name is Chakriya. I graduated from university, majoring in English. I live in Phnom Penh. I : That's all? M : Yes. I : I have looked through your CV. You don't have work experience. Well, how do you know about job announcements? M : I saw it on a job website. I : I see. So, you are still studying? M : No, I graduated. I : Well, if you become our staff, you have to work on Saturday too. And you have to take 3 months probation first. M : (nod) I : I don't ask you much becau

This is a kind of seaweed used as food for fish or decoration of the fish's tank. I bought it from the fish shop. It was expensive. I decide to grow it myself in order: - to reduce my boredom. - to reduce spending since I have fishes (pet) in the house. - to sell.

When I have freetime, I go to my friend who is a businessman. Because he has done business for many years before me, he has experiences and knows more than me. I like to chat with him to get knowledge and information related to business. We don’t talk too much, just five or ten minutes - because he is busy. Recently, I met him and he told me a small methodology. He said that if we are doing business, we should know a lot of people but we should not have many friends. Actually, I see the meaning of his words, but I don’t know how to describe them. Do you understand? If you understand, then you are good.

People might think cooking is just to fill the stomach; it is nothing, just cooking; but from my point of view, it is not just cooking, it has many things that I can learn. Such as this menu. It is fried tomato with minced pork. To make it, first, I have to mince the pork. In general, I do it with my right hand, but one day I wanted to try my left hand. While I minced the pork, because I was afraid that the pork would not be well done, I put all my strength on my left hand. Only in a few seconds, my left hand was very painful, and also my feeling was stressed and pressured. When I checked, the pork was still sticking to each other. I thought this way wouldn’t work; however, I didn’t want to use my right hand. Then I decided to mince the pork with my left hand, but I didn’t force my hand anymore, I used normal strength and motion.  In such a way, both my hand and my feelings were not stressed. In addition, at the same length of time, the pork became the minced pork - that I wanted. Talk
