A sharing by Dr Cotton

A junior writer once asked a Professor :" How do I know if Writing is the correct field for me? "

The Professor answered :" If every morning....... when you wake up.. and, the first thought you have in mind is Writing.. Then my dear, you are in the correct field.."

And if the first thought you have every morning you wake up... is to care about others..
I am really glad for you
.. cause you are in correct field too..

medicine is all about caring.. to practise medicine is to serve..

Be really grateful for that .. cause in this profession
People listen to you,
People pay attention to what you said,
People trust you with their lives..

Tears was rolling in my eyes when I heard Dr Cotton sharing this to us..
Caring can be tiring.. But I am still grateful to be able to care..

100th post

looks like i've got the honour of writing the 100th post. amazing isn't it, imagine from the days when the blog was just put together (sem 5) up till now when it's being read in 3 different continents of the world, split by distance, time, space. every single one on a different path now yet somehow still bounded by the friendship ties that were fostered over the 100 posts and more :)

i meant to write this a long while ago, but now i think its the most appropriate time for it.

i just wanted all of you to know that you girls are incredibly strong girls (well, inside more so than out if you will allow) with the spirit to never give up when faced with obstacles. And that, is the most important rule you must always remember. i want you to know that all of us experience the same feelings of loneliness (wherever we maybe) and that is normal. that it is perfectly fine to come home feeling useless on your down days, that it is human to be upset, frustrated and disappointed, and sometimes, even lost.

there will be days when we feel almighty, when things go the way we want and we touch a patient's life just as they touch ours - remember those days. keep a mental picture of that patient's face, a comment, praise, word that struck you. and on your down days search your memory for that face, that word, that feeling and use that to bring you out from it.

in the process, identify something you enjoy doing, and keep doing it. take chances and work hard at getting to know people even if you don't feel like it. i wont guarantee you will make great friends, but even acquaintances are fine, someone you could share a smile with on the streets, anyone.

it is going to be hard and long path, but if we look back now, we've already made it past the halfway mark. just like the never ending runs, we somehow always make it to the finish point (not without the support and help from everyone along the way - something which i'm really proud to say you girls are the perfect examples of :))


so please stay strong my dear girls, and never lose that smile i miss so much of.

i for one know i wouldn't have been able to make it so far without the grace and blessing from each and every one of you. and so now i just want you to know that we're all here, all rooting for each other together.

and just as xinying's post stated, rmb to slow down at speed bumps, and give yourself time to transition gracefully.

much love, :)
