About the Speaker: 
Dr. Matthew J. Dugandzic joined the theology faculty at St. Mary’s Seminary & University in 2019 after completing a Ph.D. in moral theology at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. 
Dr. Dugandzic’s scholarship focuses on medieval thought, especially Thomas Aquinas’s anthropology, psychology, and ethics. His current research focuses on the sources that Aquinas used in developing his understanding of virtue and on recovering ancient and medieval wisdom regarding economics in order to apply this wisdom to contemporary financial problems. Dr. Dugandzic also holds a BSc in biology from Concordia University in Montréal, Québec and an MA in religious studies from St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, New York. 

In addition to his work in the academy, Dr. Dugandzic has also brought his theological expertise to the aid of the Church, having taught theology to RCIA groups, catechists, and candidates for the permanent diaconate.

The Art of Listening (Rabbi Sacks on Bereishit, Covenant & Conversation)

ระหว่างคนที่ประสบความสำเร็จ
กับคนที่ไม่ประสบความสำเร็จในชีวิต
ทั้งๆ ที่เริ่มต้นและมีต้นทุนเท่าๆ กัน มีอะไรต่างกัน?
เป็นเพราะ “การรู้จักเลือกโอกาส” หรือเปล่า?
.
คนเรามีโอกาสมากมายเข้ามาในชีวิตเสมอ
แต่จะรู้ได้อย่างไรว่าโอกาสไหนควรคว้า
โอกาสไหนควรทำอย่างพอดี
และโอกาสไหนควรทุ่มหมดหน้าตัก?
.
เชิญรับฟังพร้อมๆ กันได้ใน MM Podcast EP.1652 │ เมื่อไหร่ต้องเทหมดหน้าตัก? บทเรียนเรื่อง "โอกาส" ในชีวิต
