King’s sufficiency economy.
“Sufficiency Economy” is a philosophy conceived and developed by His MajestyKing Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand over 60 years of tireless development work to improve the lives of the Thai people and bring them a genuine and lasting happiness as the King has said that the important thing for us is to have a sufficient economy. A sufficient economy means to have enough to support ourselves. We have to take a careful step backward.
We can start sufficiency economy from home. Everybody doesn’t need to spend much money lavishly. We can save money by using things around us for living. For example, we can plant some vegetable, Chili, lemon, cabbage etc., at home for eating or selling. We get some extra money and we can use it for cooking too.
At school, we can bring some food and have lunch with friends so we don’t need to buy food. We can walk or ride a bicycle instead of riding motorcycle. After school when we clean and arrange our homeroom, we will not throw away many things which are usable such as pens, sharp pencils and erasers.
For the community, we can buy goods that were produced from people in our community. Everyone can produce some goods and sell it to make more income. We can create campaign for saving energy and recycling waste in our community.
If we live with sufficiency economy, we will spend less money and we will have better quality of life. We don’t have to buy many expensive things for living. Everyone will be truly happy.
