Phya Anuman tell why he was successful

| 1969 | February 4, 1969 Praya Annumanrajadhon shared why he was so successful - because he knew people. Working as a clerk he gained only 90 baht instead of 200 baht, but it was not important because he gained more knowledge than money. When there was a conflict with the supervisor, he would wait until the supervisor was in good humor, and then discussed it. He would work as perfectly as possible, ignoring whether his supervisor would think he knew more than him. | Punch card
