It’s an art time…
How to tackle problems between boss and employee
The miscommunication, personal life problem and age gap relationship may cause misunderstanding between boss and employees. As you are the boss, do not let this unclear issue turn out to be a work difficulty.
1. Control and keep them working
Keep close while your employee working otherwise work is likely not progressive. This problem might happen when employees face repeatedly tedious works so they lose their enthusiasm. The best way out is to allow them rotate their positions and have them try working on new roles.
2. Break the rules
Breaking the rules is regularly occurred and every employee has done if only you knew it or not. Reconsider why they have to do and talk honestly to improve your regulations.
3. Younger gets fear to command
What if you work with elders? If you have a tactful performance and the majority accept your ability, the seniority is not the great deal. However, being courteous and friendly will help you work smoothly.
4. They don’t know and they don’t ask
No boss loves to work with employees who don’t really understand the job details but they continue working carelessly. You may be at fault due to giving vague instructions, using difficult language or confusing work structure. Therefore, you should recheck every time that your employees do understand the details of job and then keep following up them from time to time.
5. Skip the procedure
Many like the shortcut and try to reduce the work procedures as much as they can. Sometimes it comes up with the damage. To eliminate this problem, you should explain how much advantage they will get from following the work procedure.

Are you wearing a surgical mask?
Another potential advantage of surgical masks is they may help you to remember not to touch your face with your hands. A mask could help you remember that precaution when you may be "acting on automatic " when out in public.
Therefore wearing a surgical mask is a must to all doctors especially in having contact with the patients to avoid transmission of disease. And the best prevention is good hygiene and hand washing. If unable to wash hands thoroughly and briskly for a minimum of 20-30 seconds with warm water and soap, use a waterless hand sanitizer that is a minimum of 60% alcohol.
According to the health professionals, to avoid transferring bacteria from their mouths to patients, usually wear a surgical mask, during surgery, or when visiting vulnerable patients. The surgical mask may also protect against blood splatters from a patient during surgeries. It is usually made of paper or synthetic materials suitable for one-time use only.
Club Friday
Do you know “Club Friday”? It is a TV program talking about love which is broadcasted through green channel and radio wave 106.5 green wave. Initially, I’m not interested in it because there are two DJs talking together about love; it’s boring. One day I turned on TV on this channel, but I was not in front of TV (I only listened while cleaned up my room.). In fact, the listeners or viewers can call to tell their love stories and consult DJs how to solve their problems via this TV program. Each time a love topic will be provided while it is on air, for example, “valuable gifts,” “I don’t care, but I feel,” “last minute,” “You’re gone, I still love you.” They’re all about love. After that I usually watch it. Many times I cry because some love stories are very sad for me. I also get a good advices and suggestions from DJs. They can give the best solutions to their listeners and viewers. Those love stories are both sad and sweet. They are so various which can make me feel many kinds of feelings. I think it is one program that is useful for people because some stories are the same as we used to meet and we can get advices or suggestions to think about. We may change ourselves becoming better person and also change our bad thinking to good thinking. Simply, we may be more optimistic than the past.

Thai New Year Day
Second, the first waxing moon day of the fifth lunar month (Songkarn Day) was New Year day because the sun moved from Pisces to Aries.
Third, in BE 2432 the fist of April was on the first waxing moon day of the fifth lunar month. The government wanted to follow the Solar calendar so the first of April was announced as Thai New Year's day since BE 2432.
Forth, Marshal P. Pibunsongkram, the Prime Minister of Thailand at that time would like to follow the international New Year day, the first of January. Therefore, the first of January was suggested by his government and approved by parliament on the 29th August B.E. 2483.
The first of January from BE.2484 to BE 2554, Thai was believed as the former prime minister that the first of January made Thailand and Thai people “prosperous and joyful”
Finally, the writer also suspected that Marshal P.Pibunsongkram's change could make the country prosperous or not.
Anyway, Thai people have celebrated their New Year on the first of January for 70 years.
