The Woodcutter

The Woodcutter
คนตัดไม้

Once upon a time, there was a very strong woodcutter. He asked for a job from a timber merchant, and he got it.
กาลครั้งหนึ่ง มีคนตัดไม้ที่เก่งมากคนหนึ่ง ซึ่งได้ทำงานกับพ่อค้าไม้
The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason the woodcutter was determined to do his best
เนื่องจากพ่อค้าไม้ได้จ่ายผลตอบแทนและสภาพการทำงานที่ดีให้แก่เขา ดังนั้น คนตัดไม้จึงตั้งใจแน่วแน่ที่จะทำงานของเขาให้ดีที่สุด
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work
เจ้านายได้ให้ขวานและบอกให้เขาไปตัดไม้ในพื้นที่ที่กำหนดให้
The Boss was very much impressed and said, "Congratulations keep it up!"
เจ้านายประทับใจในตัวเขามาก และกล่าวชมเขา “ดีมาก ทำงานให้ดีต่อไปน่ะ”
The first day, the woodcutter brought down 18 trees.
ในวันแรกคนตัดไม้ สามารถตัดไม้ได้ถึง 18 ต้น
Very motivated by the words of the boss, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he only could bring down 15 trees.
เพราะเขาได้รับกำลังใจที่ดีจากเจ้านาย เขาจึงตั้งใจที่จะทำงานหนักขึ้นในวันต่อมา แต่เขากลับตัดไม้ได้เพียง 15 ต้นเท่านั้น
The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring down 10 trees
ในวันที่สาม เขาเพียรพยายามมากขึ้นไปอีก แต่กลับตัดไม้ได้เพียง 10 ต้นเท่านั้น
Day after day he was bringing down less and less trees. "I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought to himself
แต่ละวันผ่านไปเขากลับตัดไม้ได้น้อยลงทุกที คนตัดไม้รำพึงกับตนเองว่า ความแข็งแรงของเขาคงลดน้อยถอยลงเสียแล้ว
He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
เขาจึงไปหาเจ้านายของเขาเพื่อขอโทษ และบอกกับเจ้านายว่า เขาไม่เข้าใจว่าทำไมผลลัพธ์มันจึงเป็นเช่นนี้
When was the last time you sharpened your Axe?" the boss asked.
เจ้านายจึงถามเขาว่า “ เธอได้ลับขวานครั้งสุดท้ายเมื่อไหร่?”
"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my Axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees.
ลับขวานเหรอครับ? ผมไม่มีเวลาที่จะลับขวานของผมเลย ผมยุ่งอยู่แต่การตัดต้นไม้”
The moral of the story:
ข้อคิดของเรื่องนี้
Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen the axe.
ชีวิตของพวกเราก็เช่นกัน บางครั้งเรายุ่งเสียจนไม่มีเวลาจะลับขวานให้คมอยู่เสมอ
In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy than ever. Why is that?
ในโลกทุกวันนี้ดูเหมือนทุกคนจะยุ่งมากขึ้นแต่กลับมีความสุขน้อยลงกว่าเคย ทำไมจึงเป็นเช่นนั้น?
Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay sharp?
เป็นไปได้หรือเปล่าที่ว่า พวกเราลืมที่จะมีชีวิตอยู่อย่างชาญฉลาดที่จะลับชีวิตของเราให้คม
There is nothing wrong with activity and hard work.
มันไม่ผิดที่เราจะทำงานหนัก
But we should not get so busy that we neglect the truly important things in life, like our personal life, taking time to care for others, taking time to read, etc.
แต่เราไม่ควรวุ่นวายจนละเลยสิ่งที่สำคัญในชีวิต เช่น ชีวิตส่วนตัว การเอาใจใส่ผู้อื่น การให้เวลากับการอ่าหนังสือ และอื่นๆ
We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow.
เราทุกคนต้องการเวลาที่จะผ่อนคลาย ที่จะคิด ที่จะสร้างสมาธิ และที่จะได้เรียนรู้และเติบโต
If we don't take time to sharpen our lives, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness also our competency.
ถ้าเราไม่ยอมใช้เวลาที่จะลับคมให้แก่ชีวิตของเรา เราจะกลายเป็นผู้ที่โง่เขลาและสูญเสียซึ่งประสิทธิผลและศักยภาพของเรา
To stay competence is as important as your life and it is your responsibility to do so. It is a guarantee that you will success and most wanted in your career.
เป็นความรับผิดชอบของเราที่จะต้องรักษาและพัฒนาศักยภาพของตน เพราะมันจะเป็นส่วนหนึ่งที่จะรับประกันความสำเร็จ และความเป็นที่ต้องการในอาชีพของตัวเรา
So start from today, think about the ways by which you could increase you competency level. So that you can do your job more effectively and add a lot of value to it.
ดังนั้นขอให้เริ่มต้นตั้งแต่วันนี้ ลองคิดหาหนทางที่จะพัฒนาศักยภาพของเรา เพื่อที่จะทำให้เราสามารถทำงานได้อย่างมีประสิทธิผลและสร้างมูลค่าเพิ่มให้แก่งานของเรามากขึ้น
Hope this story has given you some insight to life.
หวังว่าเรื่องนี้จะให้ข้อคิดแก่ชีวิตของเรามากขึ้น
May you be happy always.
ขอให้คุณมีความสุขตลอดไป

What is Gmail?

Gmail is Google's free webmail service. It comes with built-in Google search technology and over 2,600 megabytes of storage (and growing every day). You can keep all your important messages, files and pictures forever, use search to quickly and easily find anything you're looking for, and make sense of it all with a new way of viewing messages as part of conversations. There are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, only small text ads. Ads and related information are relevant to your messages, so instead of being obtrusive, they may even be useful for once. Gmail also integrates instant messaging right into the email experience, so you can stay in even better touch with your friends when you're online. Easy, efficient and maybe even fun to use. It's a whole new way to think about email. It's Google's approach to email.

Why is Google offering email and instant messaging? I thought you were a search company.
1. What makes Gmail different?
Yes, Gmail is another email service. But it's different in lots of ways, starting with a philosophy: that communications can be made simpler, more efficient and more fun. When building Gmail, we looked at the frustrations people were having with email, and started with our product from scratch. The result is something that's faster, cleaner, and more intuitive. For example, Gmail automatically groups an email and its replies into a conversation, so you can easily follow the back and forth of an email exchange. It's just like you were chatting. And now, you can chat in Gmail too.There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail, and very little spam. With Google search, it's easier for you to find the things that matter to you. And Gmail even has some personality. But don't take our word for it, try it yourself. Think of it as a fresh start.
2. How do I sign up?
You can get a Gmail account if you're invited by someone who already has one. Or, you can sign up for an account using your mobile phone.
3. What about spam?
Innovative Google technology on the inside keeps spam messages on the outside. Lack of spam is one of our users' number one reasons for loving Gmail. And we keep improving our sophisticated spam filter every day. You can help by using the Report Spam button, which removes spam from your inbox and automatically improves spam filtering in the future.
4. I heard I can chat in Gmail too?
Yes, you can! Why should you always have to choose whether you want to email or chat with someone, and then go to a different program for each? Gmail integrates the two so you can see when your friends are online and get in touch with them however you want. Having email and chat in the same web browser means you can now chat with your friends wherever you have Internet access. Even save and search for your chat histories just as you would with email messages so you never lose important information again. Gmail users are now part of the Google Talk network, and this feature is completely synchronized with our downloadable Google Talk client, which also enables free voice calls through your computer.
5. Can I get Gmail on my phone?
There are two ways you can access Gmail on your phone. You can download the Gmail for mobile devices application, by pointing your phone’s web browser to http://gmail.com/app or you can access Gmail directly over the web, by pointing your phone’s web browser to http://gmail.com. If your phone supports it, we recommend the downloadable application—it’s super-fast. You have no idea how fast email on your phone can be! Both mobile versions are optimized for the phone you’re using, make it easy for you to view the attachments you receive in email messages, and keep your Gmail account synchronized whether you’re accessing it from your phone or on your computer.
6. What does Gmail do to prevent viruses?
We take the security of our users very seriously. In addition to virus protection that automatically scans your attachments and tries to remove any viruses found in them, Gmail also doesn't send or receive any executable files since most computer viruses are contained in executable files.
7. Are there ads in Gmail?
Yes, there are small, unobtrusive, and relevant text ads alongside your Gmail messages, similar to those on the side of Google search results pages. The matching of ads to content is a completely automated process performed by computers. No humans read your email to target the ads, and no email content or other personally identifiable information is ever provided to advertisers.Ads are never inserted into the body text of either incoming or outgoing Gmail messages and you won't see any pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail. In fact, Gmail users have even told us that they've found our ads to be interesting and even useful.
8. What about privacy?
Google respects our users' privacy. For details, please see the Gmail Privacy Policy. Google also take several steps to guard the confidentiality of users' information by offering a number of industry-leading protections. To learn more, please visit our section on Gmail and privacy.
9. Why is Google offering email and instant messaging? I thought you were a search company.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally useful and accessible. We know that more and more of the information that's important to people is being exchanged and kept in email and chats. It can be overwhelming to keep track of this information, or to find later. We believe we can help with that. Gmail helps users make sense of the information in their inboxes. There is less spam, things are easier to find, and you can keep the things that are important to you. Google's search technology is at the core of all of this. And now, we're using that technology to do for email what we did for search. Making it easier and more efficient than ever.

Google AdSense Program Plicies

2007-02-05T00:53:00.000-08:00

Google AdSense Program Policies
Publishers participating in the AdSense program are required to adhere to the following policies. We ask that you read these policies carefully and refer to this document often. If you fail to comply with these policies, we may disable ad serving to your site and/or disable your AdSense account. While in many cases we prefer to work with publishers to achieve policy compliance, we reserve the right to disable any account at any time. If your account is disabled, you will not be eligible for further participation in the AdSense program.
Please note that we may change our policies at any time, and pursuant to our Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to keep up to date with and adhere to the policies posted here.
Invalid Clicks and Impressions
Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to repeated manual clicks or impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software. Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited. Failure to comply with this policy may lead to your account being disabled.
Encouraging clicks
In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers may not request that users click the ads on their sites or rely on deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks. Publishers participating in the AdSense program:
May not encourage users to click the Google ads by using phrases such as "click the ads," "support us," "visit these links," or other similar language
May not direct user attention to the ads via arrows or other graphical gimmicks
May not place misleading images alongside individual ads
May not promote sites displaying ads through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites
May not compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior
May not place misleading labels above Google ad units - for instance, ads may be labeled "Sponsored Links" but not "Favorite Sites"
Site Content
While Google offers broad access to a variety of content in the search index, publishers in the AdSense program may only place Google ads on sites that adhere to our content guidelines, and ads must not be displayed on any page with content primarily in an unsupported language. View a list of supported languages.
Sites displaying Google ads may not include:
Violent content, racial intolerance, or advocacy against any individual, group, or organization
Pornography, adult, or mature content
Hacking/cracking content
Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia
Excessive profanity
Gambling or casino-related content
Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails
Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages
Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, e.g., your site's PageRank
Sales or promotion of weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, fighting knives, stun guns)
Sales or promotion of beer or hard alcohol
Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products
Sales or promotion of prescription drugs
Sales or promotion of products that are replicas or imitations of designer goods
Sales or distribution of term papers or student essays
Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity, or infringes on the legal rights of others
Copyrighted Material
Website publishers may not display Google ads on web pages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content. Please see our DMCA policy for more information.
Webmaster Guidelines
AdSense publishers are required to adhere to the webmaster quality guidelines posted at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html.
Site and Ad Behavior
Sites showing Google ads should be easy for users to navigate and should not contain excessive pop-ups. AdSense code may not be altered, nor may standard ad behavior be manipulated in any way that is not explicitly permitted by Google.
Sites showing Google ads may not contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation, change user preferences, or initiate downloads.
Any AdSense code must be pasted directly into webpages without modification. AdSense participants are not allowed to alter any portion of the code or change the behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads. For instance, clicks on Google ads may not result in a new browser window being launched.
A site or third party cannot display our ads, search box, search results, or referral buttons as a result of the actions of any software application such as a toolbar.
No AdSense code may be integrated into a software application.
Webpages containing AdSense code may not be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings, or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code.
Referral offerings must be made without any obligation or requirement to end users. Publishers may not solicit email addresses from users in conjunction with AdSense referral units.
Ad Placement
AdSense offers a number of ad formats and advertising products. Publishers are encouraged to experiment with a variety of placements, provided the following policies are respected:
Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page.
A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.
A single link unit may also be placed on each page.
Up to two referral units from each referral product or offering may be displayed on a page, in addition to the ad units, search boxes, and link units specified above.
AdSense for search results pages may show only a single ad link unit in addition to the ads Google serves with the search results. No other ads may be displayed on your search results page.
No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed in a pop-up, pop-under, or in an email.
Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads.
No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.
No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.
Competitive Ads and Services
In order to prevent user confusion, we do not permit Google ads or search boxes to be published on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colors as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.
