TMB Bank launched in 2011 a great brand vision “Make THE Difference” by making a film to inspire people to start thinking differently. With a hope that they will start to Make THE Difference to their own world. It doesn’t have to be big, but a little can create positive changes. This film is based on a true story. In 1986 a football team that lived on a little island in the south of Thailand called “Koh Panyee”. It’s a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The kids here loved to watch football but had nowhere to play or practice. But they didn’t let that stop them. They challenged the norm and have become a great inspiration for new generations on the island.

Australian Comic Jim Jefferies Has The Right Idea On The Stance Of Guns
Jim Jefferies has the right idea on the stance on guns. Jefferies points out perfectly the absurdity of America’s reaction to mass shootings as opposed to his native Australia.
“In Australia, we had the biggest massacre on earth. The Australian government went, ‘That’s it! No more guns!’ And we all went, ‘Yeah, alright then. That seems fair enough.’ Now in America, you have the Sandy Hook Massacre where little, tiny children died, and your government went, ‘Maybe – we’ll get rid of the BIG guns?’”

“What Is Punk?” Is The Book Every Music-Loving Parent Should Have For Their Kids
Punk rock is a style of music, but it also is a way of thinking about and interacting with society. As a style of music, the influence of its energetic arrangements, distorted guitars, and anti-conformist lyrics is evident in the work of many of the most important bands from the last 25 years. As an attitude, it continues to shape (rightly or wrongly) media, design, politics, and fashion. With honesty, integrity, simplicity, and humor, What Every Child Needs to Know About Punk Rock explains this cultural phenomenon to young children, helping them to understand the modern world and, more importantly, the adults in their lives. Written by two dads — a child expert and a researcher — What Every Child Needs to Know About Punk Rock is the book for any adult who wants to help young children understand the roots of this ongoing movement.
I wish I found this book when Hannah was a kid. Actually, at 13, she might be the perfect age for this, since she’s learning now the music of the 50s and 60s and learning to think about it to today’s pop stars. Actually, I know a lot of adults who would love this book, too. Once they know all about punk and how the musicians and fans made it their thing, they’ll make it their own today.
