US trip by Oak


Before I went on the trip to USA, I felt very exciting and thought that it would be like vacation trip. But, in fact, IMBA gave me a lot than I ever expected.
Since the first day I arrived at Stanford University, I felt this university is fully equipped with all learning material needed. All the environment and structures are well planned. During that time, Tina Seeling, one of the faculties over there took us to campus tour. I have a chance to visit School of Design, which is my most favorite place. From the outside, it looks like ordinary building. But inside, I could feel lots of learning environment and energetic people. Moreover, I very interesting in the change able room, which could re-design to match with the group need. In my opinion, the change able room idea is very incredible. We should adopt this idea in Thai university.
Improve reading skill class with Bryan Weller was my most favorite class during the trip. He is very unique and talented. From his class, my reading speed is increase about 2-3 times faster than before. He also made me understand more about the way our brains work then try to maximize its capacity. Moreover, the mind map method is very good idea to remember anything in our life. I will use this method more often in the future.
After we finished class at Stanford University, we went to the Green MBA in Dominican University. On the way to Green MBA, we stop by at one of the guess speaker house near by the ocean. I can’t remember his name, but I can remember his house. It is a very beautiful house that I want to have one in the future. I could tell that his house is the most inspiration for success during the trip.
In the Green MBA, during the Business plan presentation, I could learn lots of ideas. The Idea I like most is the environment friendly lubricant. In my opinion, this idea is most likely possible and could generate lots of profit in the future. However, I already forgot the detail of his product, but if I have chance, I would like to talk with him again. His idea and product may workable in Thailand.
Finally, I have to thank you to John, his wife and Roberto to give us a very warm welcome in this farm and a great dinner in his house. His farm is like an eco-tourism place. The living roof idea is a very great idea. In the future, I would like to have my own living roof too.
The trip to USA with IMBA was one of my great experiences in life. It has opened my vision wider and expands my thinking a lot. And I was very surprise that the heart of Green MBA teaching was focus on sustainability which the same as our King teaching. Therefore, Now I believe that it is the essential concept for doing businesses. I will thing very carefully and concern a lot about the consequence effect in the future.
