"One day, you guys will be speaking on stage, in the Orange pill council on stage..."
The disbelief was apparent on everyone's faces with my serious demeanor, despite my apparent inebriation. I thought at the time, we were venturing towards Beer's tower 3.
The sparkle in nostr:npub1a8wreeghu0j8g4zqgzex53sq38gjwjdp5czxnu3rfydnz8n8yu2spqkavy 's eyes...
nostr:npub15l5mxmljftnnqur8gf2nkjj2yuemqy2kuly7yc29lx7x598svx5s447rgk seemed thrilled, nostr:npub1z7k4pffj7250eaydd3ya0v07mmzecylcq9cw5af68zu39q0k4u3qj6xre4, nostr:npub1qd6zcgzukmydscp3eyauf2dn6xzgfsevsetrls8zrzgs5t0e4fws7re0mj and others cheered out loud,
While nostr:npub16hpaqcm8zhc6n4d79tu2mtsf9464093r4v3r7l5hq5tpsng3txesw3tu5f ...nearly shed tears.
I have a penchant for uttering such whimsical statements...
Then, when what I said turned into reality,
Everyone thought of me as someone "diviner."
Not at all... I never knew anything...
I just had to stand by my words,
That seemingly fanciful goal became the driving force, pushing us to find ways to reach it... Eventually, my prediction never came true because I was a prophet, but because we made it come true.
Today, I've told many that... one day we will see tens of thousands of Thais on Nostr -- I'm not predicting the future, but I have set a goal. And I just have to find a way to make it happen... sustainably.
Some might think I tend to push myself too hard. Truth be told, I've never felt pressured when striving to improve. It's exhilarating, lively, challenging, and keeps me intrigued each day.
On the flip side, I'd wither away seeing the same old scenario day by day... that's just who I am.
The youngsters were apprehensive, not yet daring to let loose and follow my rhetoric...
They were just settling down with a cold beer after a hectic conference. They still saw themselves scurrying around like busy ants across the hall... once mere admirers of others on online platforms.
How will I get to sit there one day?
"That's why we need to find a way to make it happen. Since we don’t know how to do it today, it's the difficulty that urges us to find a way."
The more I spoke, the more baffled the youngsters got.
Sometimes, when you're at the forefront, you simply have to make others believe... you're leading them from the "impossible" to the "possible." You need to find a way to assure them they’re good enough to do it, or even better than just enough…
Motivation and confidence are not built merely by words. The process, various strategies, and gradual results along the adventurous path reinforce them far better.
I made a promise to the youngsters,
"If you guys strive to improve yourselves enough, I promise to strive to find ways to make it happen too... We are Bitcoiners, we believe in the 'Proof of Work' philosophy and that's our way forward.
From here on... we just have to make sure... we're ready when it's time to really sit on those seats. We’ll hone every necessary skill to have enough confidence to make it happen. We'll evolve to be worthy of the upcoming opportunity..."
Clangggg!!!
The sound of clinking glasses resonated without any prior arrangement, with some slightly spilling their beer. It revealed the flaming determination simmering within them. They clinked their glasses with utmost sincerity.
At that moment, I secretly harbored a thought...
Don't break those glasses, guys... heh, heh.
"Would you dare to do that for real?"
Someone chimed in, saying...
"I will try not to let you down."
I stared at the speaker for no less than 5 seconds, without uttering a word.
His eyes were trying to tell me... Was that merely sweet talk, or did it spring from his true intent?
"Good!!"
That's all I exclaimed.
"Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise."
Eventually, they strived to improve themselves, to one day sit alongside the professors they idolized...
nostr:naddr1qq9rzd3exuursv3sxsmqygxv5lh4g8dcx6y5z0vht38k5d0ya3eezk39jmrhqsfdj2rwwv33wcpsgqqqwens4nqjy5
You need to have a goal to make your tomorrow intriguing. You will go out and live to find the way to that goal. The expectations you set for your own amusement and personal joy will not create any pressure on you. There's no timeline, just the desire to make it happen swiftly.
It opens up opportunities for us to explore and learn new skills.
It keeps us constantly striving to improve ourselves. It makes us review every action of ours to find points that can still be better. We are open to criticism and welcome every suggestion because we want to be good enough to get there...
Today, you guys have gone through the Work and Proofed yourselves worthy of what's happening in the picture...
The only person you should thank is yourself...
Thank yourself for the effort and absorb those good feelings.
As for me?
I sit smiling, watching you guys grow from a distance. I am happy too...
It's just a pity that I don't have a cold craft beer in hand.

When I say... we will have tens of thousands of people on Nostr using #siamstr, it's not going to happen because I predicted it.
But it can happen when all of us in the community come together, helping each other out, each contributing a bit, finding ways to make it happen. Whether the results are slow or fast, we will always be aware that we are doing various things for a reason...
We will set goals for ourselves to fill in what's lacking, to complete every factor that will take us there. We will see every unknown as an opportunity, an opportunity to enlighten ourselves.
At the very least, not knowing what we don’t know is valuable, as it will help guide us to the answers...
I just hope to see everything happening and growing sustainably going forward... I mean the sustainable happiness of every community member...
"What's your dream, Nim?"
Young Nim, on a day filled with both daring and dread, was asked this by me months before the conference event unfolded...
"I want to interview Bit, I enjoy listening to Bit."
"Okay... If I make it really happen, will you do it?"
"Will that day really come?"
"It will... if you strive to improve yourself enough..."
