</p><p><em>Bangkok Post</em> - August 18, 2008<br />Even on his busiest days, Natwut Amornvivat, a CEO and talk show host, spares 15 minutes to train his pet dog, Tiger, whom he hopes will become a rescue dog one day. He never misses a training session for the two-year-old Boxer, except when he goes out of town. In his mid-30s, Natwut has already reached the top. He currently wears two hats - leader of the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) and co-host of one of Thailand's most famous TV talk shows, Joh Jai. "I always wanted to be an engineer. When I was young, I built toy planes. I cut wood, installed engines, filled gas and sent them into the sky. Like many other boys, I pulled apart and re-assembled stuff," Natwut recalled. Finally, he became an engineer. In 1993, he graduated from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Engineering. He furthered his studies with a master's degree in industrial engineering from the Georgia Tech. In 1998, he obtained MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management.<br /><a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/180808_Outlook/18Aug2008_out56.php">http://www.bangkokpost.com/180808_Outlook/18Aug2008_out56.php</a></p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
