It's so easy to give up. You don't even need a reason. After 10 years of medical school what's the logic in giving up. There will always be a reason that will make it ok. A reason for mediocrity. If you think it's hard to continue, it's much harder to start again. It's sad to realize that not everyone is cut out to be a doctor, and intelligence is not a big part of it. My friends will never read this. They are individuals in their own right and it's not my place to tell them what to do with their lives. At times everyone becomes envious, losing respect for levels and achievements you have yet to reach. Trying to be cool when you simply are not. Losing insight on the first principles leading to misguided, overconfident proclamations and generalizations that are not only devoid of knowledge but also wisdom. You cannot know every answer. But that doesn't matter, its the process, the application that counts. When you understand you don't have to memorize. The point is keep moving forward. When you tire slow down, don't confuse activity with productivity. Don't get discouraged. You're not smart enough, tall enough, fast enough, strong enough. Become smarter, stand taller, be faster, grow stronger. Hard work beats talent everytime. Have faith. You cannot do it alone. In times of weakness, He is your greatest strength. He will carry you. He's carried me and He will carry you. There will be times when you are better than everyone else, there will also be times when everybody else seems to be better than you. Don't be too proud, don't be too humble, just be. Just quietly go about your business. Get it done. Have enough character to follow through, finish what you start, take responsibility. You don't need inspiration. It's overrated. Just get it done.
