Far's Story
Life
My name is Far Jangtrakool, about my life! I can say that my life is different, full of adventure because I was a naughty boy. Since I was a baby, my dad is a kind of person that when he see fall down, he will let me get up on my own. I think that is why I am able to get up on my life now.
When I about to start school, I was living in the countryside in Thailand. It was not great; the quality of life is a -1 out of 10. My family was a farmer broker at that point, basically buy cheap stuff and sell it at a higher price. Business was good, but still we are just a poor family. So my dad wanted to change our way of life, and head it into the city Bangkok. He started a computer company (from a farmer broker to a computer company, are you kidding me!) yes, he went to school and learn all the things that we need to start a company. ThatÂs where I learned my computer skill, at home working.
So we were doing well, until Thailand bubble burst! From 22 employees to just 2 (mom & dad) so they designed to send my to school here in the USÂ
thatÂs when my school life and work life start.
School
School, my High School here was another fun adventure. Just imagine yourself sitting in a class donÂt know how to speak English. My first period was homeroom, and then it was a Spanish I class and then Spanish level IV. I didnÂt know that I need to walk to different class, (in Thailand teacher walk to your class) so I sit there for 3 periods.
Once I am started to learned the language, (started from the bad words!.. I donÂt know why they have to teach that stuff first when you learn any language) Oh, my high school was Saint Genevieve High School, Panorama City California.
On my Junior and Senior year I joined a soccer team, and not to mention I got 2 MVP for both of the years. ItÂs not like I am good or anything but I was a goalie and our team only win 1 game out of almost 30 games. So I guess they just feel bad for me that I had to work harder.
After I finish my High School life, I work for about 6 months and go back to Thailand to Join Royal Thai Army,

Thai Army, I got a scholarship to Infosys India for computer science camp. The camp was fun, there were 100 Thai students out of thousands that won this camp, and I was one of them. Infosys is one of the best outsourcing companies with almost 40K employees, and what I learn that they were successful because of documentation and interpersonal communication. These two are their key success.
Another highlight position of my working life is being a Traffic Manager. I get to work with a lot of nice people, it seem like I am working in a big corporate office but I still feel like family. Account Managers sometimes put in a lot of request ☺ but at the end of the day they are the one who keep me alive here! ☺
I also have my own business, dobermanlabel which is a online retail label supply for people who use PayPal to print their shipping label. I be able to do good in the company because I am using the low cost model that I have learned from my CEO.
My futureÂ
I hope I get to continue growing my business and career in the technical, web development, and design. I always keep Walt Disney quote in my head and that is ÂKeep Moving
Military
This is one of the best things that ever happen to me, being in Royal Thai Army make me stronger. The first two months I had to wake up at 5 am and start running until 8. Every morning 3 hours of running, then shower carry a gun and headed for breakfast. Then start our daily training until lunch. After lunch we continue our training until 5 or 6 then break for 30 min and headed for dinner. Finally, nighttime is classroom. This is when I fall asleep and get a punishment for doing just that!
The training that I like the most is shooting the Rifle, I was one of the top 5 best shooter. Anther training that I like is the escape training, basically they would drop us off on the top of the mountain and we have to find a way to get home without getting caught.
After the two months training I got moved up to be the adviser for Office Commander because of my computer skill. During that time, I won government scholarship to Infosys India, and that is all me tech career started.
