Bangkok--1 Apr--The Regent's International School, Bangkok
The Regent's International School, Bangkok – a leading international school in Thailand, that proudly bears the motto "Home of Well Rounded Leaders of the Future", was granted a license from TED to host their own TEDx Talk. The talk, TEDx Youth@RegentsSchool, gave speakers a platform to share ideas and inspire.
Under the topic "Dare to dream: How can our passions influence those around us?", two special guest speakers and six of the international school's students gave talks on varied subject matters and gave the opportunity for international and Thai youths alike to join the event.
Mr. Attaporn Theemakorn (Num), actor and film director, gave a talk to inspire all audiences from his experiences of doing the best in everything. Khun Num also expressed his quote in life that "All work can be done successfully…you have to start from being happiness in what you are doing". Recently Khun Num was awarded as the best film director, which highlights his working capabilities in this field.
Mr. Kanatip Soonthornrak (Loukgolf), English teacher and owner of Angriz English school, is very popular among Thai school and university students. Khun Loukgolf shared his experiences that he was afraid to speak English throughout secondary education. However, his change in attitude towards the English language helped him succeed and could be pinned down to 3 important things: positive attitude, passion and knowledge. Khun Lougkgolf now speaks English better and better everyday. Currently, Khun Loukgolf is well known teacher, DJ and brand ambassador of the leading consumer brand. Last but not least, he said that you have to improve, you have to get better and your time will come again.
