2:51 PM,
Do you know the different between PhD made in US and PhD made in Vietnam? The PhD that made in Vietname is that the one that made in Vietname is lack of humility, more attitude than gratitude! And if you happen to pick up this book, you might be able to learn about humility, and gratitude.

You should be able to learn goodness in others!

PhD is not Equal to H.E. and Samdech in Cambodia etc

2:51 PM,

You are right, I agreed with you on that. PhD people are not supper brain. They are just normal people like you and me. The different is that they just put a lot of their time to learn the art of their craft!

I believe that everybody can be a PhD or anything that they want to be...it just takes time, dedication and commitment to see one's decision toward the end!

6:06 pm,

I agreed with you, but real PhD in Cambodia have to play dum in order to servive. If they dare to speak their truth and say what is right and what is wrong, they will be end up like Dr. Loa Mong Hay - he cannot get back in Cambodia, Or worst, if one in side Cambodi, s/he will get into traffic accident!
