Science
has taught us that repeat exposure to the same stimulus or biological invasion
dulls our reflexes and when a certain saturation point is reached, we gain
immunity.
Contrary
to this, failing grades has always been unpalatable. It has never ceased to
ignite in me feelings of regrets of what coulda, woulda, and shoulda.
Experiences
like these are God’s way of teaching us a humbling lesson. It is from these
that we evolve and survive as homo sapiens - the highest form of animals.
We
may mourn for a little while, this is all but natural. Who wouldn’t? But we
should always move on with a renewed vigor made wiser by our inductions and
deductions. As the great Bob Marley once sang, “Every man gotta right to decide
his own destiny...We’ll fight this little struggle...We gonna fight!” And if we
are going to fight, we should follow the Art of War of the great strategist and
philosopher Sun Tzu.
“The
great general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the
battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations
beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory and few calculations to
defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point
that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.”
I’ve
always believed that whatever grade I get in class is a reflection and
tantamount to the effort I put into the subject. Therefore, we must persevere.
Whatever we are doing now needs careful examination, discernment and
improvement.
Research
says that IQ may get us the job but EQ will give us the promotion. What I’m
trying to say here is and I know you are already well aware of is that thinking
coupled with action and feelings equals success.
We
must plan and stick to it. We need to sacrifice now for a lifetime of success.
Focus. Pray. Believe. We are going to be doctors by 2015!
“IF
you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred
battles. IF you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you
will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will
succumb in the battle.”
This
we know so far: medicine is not a walk in the park. It needs time and
attention, understanding and lots of memory work. By now, we also know that our
effort is not paying off. Perhaps we do read our books three times and even
more but have we truly, madly deeply committed it to memory? Do we fully
understand the concept and interrelationship?
Promise
me we will not just read our tomes of medical scripts but we will fully
understand it that even our subconscious will start dreaming it.
I’ve
always thought of my brains as muscles. It needs a regimen to obtain optimal
results. There is still 80% of our brain that is left idle. We need to use that
or risk Alzheimer’s.
IF
medicine is war then I say let’s get ready to rumble!!!
