the impossibble

I literally speechless after reading this article:

Praise be to Allah. It's beyond my imagination how would I do it if it ever happen to me. It was definitely very easy to just let go. But, yes...
You can't go through life quitting everything. If you're going to achieve anything, you've got to stick with something.
... how true the saying is.

Even Albert Einstein once said, It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

We got to win over our own doubt, make belive that something is achievable and go out to make it yours. Move! Move!

what money can buy

You met a long lost friend in the city, looking happy and presumably successful. He wear stylish clothes and drive the latest model of ever-expensive car. "Ah, if only I could have those."

But, would you pay the price?

He paid the price, he's wearing his hard work. You could do the same if you want to. The truth is we would go as far as we can to get what we really want.

The secret is, you've got to really really really want it. Your desire can drive you further than you could imagine.

Some people even had to pay a higher price than we have to should we want the same thing. But, what makes them got it? They don't wait for a cheap bargain. Buy it at the price it costs. Easy said than done, yes.

The last thing we want to happen in the end is, even we ourselves cannot understand why we had been so stingy to spend the 'money' which could never be kept for future use. C'mon my dear, you might as well spent it for a good cause!

I personally like this one:
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. ~Earl Nightingale

medicine is bitter

He conquers who endures. ~Persius

It's not too early for a reflection. How far we have reached, how much we have achieved, how big we have grown...

Our friends are the irresistible parameters. It is not uncommon to compare yourself with your collegues. While some people just cannot accept the idea of comparing ourselves with each other for the argument that it will only create unnecessary tension between people, it does have the good side of competition.

It should be a win-win situation in the first place. This is the game that nobody should lose. If you win, the only loser is the fear or laziness or anything bad within you. After all, you should only be competing with your own self. This will save us from all the social diseases like inferiority, jealousy, etcetera...

Do not disappoint our own potentials. They are here inside ourselves. Bear with the pain, give it a little bit more push and the time will come when you can be proud of yourself.

mismatched ideas

I was shadowing Mr Flynn, consultant in urology, in his clinic last week. In between patient, he turned to me an ask casually, "so, what's your ambition?"

I was, huh? What did I heard? Doesn't he know that I'm in my third year of medical school? "Sorry? What do you mean?" I chose to ask.

"Yeah, what are you going to be when you grow up?" Again? Am I a child?

"I mean, are you going to be a doctor or something else..." he continued.

The doors are still open. We are not dictated by the position or situation we are in, we make use of the present to create our dream future. Don't lock up ourselves in an open field. The toughest walls are in our heads. If we can't even control our whims, we tend to lose control of ourselves. But, it is not something then take over ourselves... I believe it is just our neglected potential just flew further and further...

Yes, the road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places. If we fail to keep going on, fight the devil in our mind, we'll end up giving up for a cheap bargain. Ah, if only we see the value of finishing the race...

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't. ~Henry Ward Beecher

drowning in pebbles!

Michaelmas Term Examination is just around the corner. I have no right to complain of anything. Situation is bad for everyone, favouring nobody. So, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going...

There's many big problems all around us. So many that it is hard to decide which one is the hardest. But, it's actually not important to do so. While it is true that first thing should come first, the problem will not be there at the first place if the culprit called procrastination is nowhere near us. How true the saying that goes...

Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain.
