A new coral reef was discovered off the Thai coast, which is home to over 30 types of hard corals and at least 112 species of fish, including a parrot fish never seen in Thailand until now — and as a rare species of sweet lips. It's an area of 1.4 square miles, 270 hectares, and scientists call it "spectacular." “The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential.
