Dear All,
Effective from 1st July, we will resurrect the English by E-mail programme, correcting written mistakes frequently made by our staff.
Remember, there is absolutely no embarrassment in making a mistake as long as we all learn from our errors and avoid repeating them. Therefore, please do not be afraid of your shortcomings, nor look to hide them behind the superior writing talents of others. Instead, simply aim to learn and improve your own writing.
To quote Theodore Roosevelt, “The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything.”
As previously, anyone with e-mail access repeating the mistakes highlighted in this programme will be asked to donate 1 Baht to Dusit Smiles (or any other meritorious cause at any given time) for their first mistake. However, this donation will be doubled for each subsequent repeated error (2 Baht, 4 Baht, 8 Baht, etc.) made by the same person until it has been (hopefully) stamped out for ever.
After all, in the words of Oscar Wilde, “Once is a Misfortune, Twice is Carelessness”
