วันวาเลนไทน์












                                    ผู้มีหัวใจที่งดงามได้กล่าวไว้ว่า

                             เอาความรักออกมาแบ่งปันให้กันเถิดหนา
                                       แถดพล้วเราจะมีความสุข
                                             มีแต่ความพึงพอใจ
                                             ไม่มีอะไรเทียบได้






 ความรัก เป็นสิ่งที่อยู่คู่กับมนุษย์มาช้านาน  และมนุษย์ทุกคน ล้วนมีความรักอยู่ภายในใจ ไม่มากก็น้อย ความรักได้ผ่านเข้าออกดวงใจของเรานับตั้งแต่แรกเกิด  เมื่อได้ลืมตามาดูโลก พบกับพ่อ แม่ ผู้ให้ความอบอุ่น เลี้ยงดูอย่างทะนุถนอม  ตามด้วยญาติ พี่น้อง ผู้มีสายเลือดชิดใกล้  ต่อเมื่อเติบใหญ่ขึ้น จึงได้รู้จักกับเพื่อน ทั้งหญิงและชาย วัยเดียวกัน หรือต่างวัย ความรักก็เริ่มแตกกิ่งก้านสาขาออกไป จนกระทั่งได้พบคนที่ถูกอกถูกใจ หวังให้มาเป็นคู่ชีวิต ความรักได้งอกงามไปในอีกรูปแบบหนึ่ง เมื่อตกลงใช้ชีวิตร่วมกันจนกระทั่งมีบุตร ความรักในบุตร ก็เป็นอีกฤดูกาลหนึ่งของชีวิต จนกระทั่งย่างเข้าสู่วัยชรา ความรักประสาวัยรุ่น ที่คึกคะนองได้อันตรธานไป  แปรเปลี่ยนเป็นความรักความห่วงใยในบุตรหลาน และบริวารตามอย่างผู้สูงอายุ

Passage 4
Parks Toy (Thailand) has recently suffered sharp falls in its
annual income after once enjoying sales of as much as US$6
million a year.
The toy manufacturer, which is owned by Korean business-
5 man Young Tae Park, has been in business in Thailand for 17 years
and focuses mainly on exports to the US and European countries.
But like other exporters, it has faced tough price competition
following China’s entry into its markets. Some toymakers are
even seeing dim business prospects ahead in Asian markets.
10 However, Parks Toy is trying hard to turn a crisis into an
opportunity. It sees some lights of opportunity still burning in
the US and European markets and is undergoing a change in its
business strategies.
Among other things, it has declared “pay-back” time for its
15 Chinese competitors. It has developed a new brand of Grade A
toys called “Anee Park”, and is selling them in China.
“Before we can fix the problem, we have to know its roots,”
Park explains.
Chinese manufacturers enjoy a big advantage because of low
20 labor costs. Although the cost of labor in China is rising slightly,
Park believes Thailand’s labor costs are still acceptable. The
problem is that workers here do not work to their full capacity, he
says, especially during long holidays, when many are absent.
“Our labor problem is that we can use only 70 per cent of
25 work capacity. This has a major effect on the business because we
are unable to manufacture in time to meet orders.”
Low labor costs aside, China also has its own raw materials,
while Thailand still needs to import them from Korea. Some Thai
toy manufacturers recently tried to source their materials locally,
30 but found suppliers were incapable of meeting demand.
As a result, low labor costs and locally sourced materials are
the two main factors enabling Chinese manufacturers to produce
toys at half the price of their Thai counterparts.
Parks Toy pondered what its advantages might be, and it
35 concluded that they were quality, design and after-sales service.
And these things, it believes, should be enough to create business
opportunities.
