Before I Go: A Stanford neurosurgeon’s parting wisdom about life and time

Thursday, December 22, 2016 / BY Unknown
In residency, there’s a saying: The days are long, but the years are short. In neurosurgical training, the day usually began a little before 6 a.m., and lasted until the operating was done, which depended, in part, on how quick you were in the OR. A resident’s surgical skill is judged by his technique and his speed. You can’t be sloppy and you can’t be slow. From your first wound closure onward, spend too much...

Stars

“All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You... you alone will have stars as no one else has them." "In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I...

What Constitutes Winners and Differentiates them from Others?

Sunday, August 21, 2016 / BY Unknown
According to Wikepedia (hahaha.. shaddap, wiki is my new BFF), Grit is defined as: "Grit in psychology is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual's passion for a particular long-term goal or end state, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective. This perseverance of effort promotes the overcoming of obstacles or challenges that lie within a gritty individual's path to accomplishment, and serves as a driving force in achievement realization.

If you can keep your head when all about you        Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,      But make allowance for their doubting too;    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,      Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,  Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,      And yet don’t...

Stop Explaining

Monday, July 04, 2016 / BY Unknown
"Girls are derided, at an early age, for displaying confidence and swagger. As a result, many of us overexplain ourselves — to justify, to contextualize, to apologize for seeming any way other than how we're meant to seem. We forget how to stop and let our words hang in the air, without apology. We forget that we're not always responsible for other people's comfort, and that refusing to take responsibility for other people's comfort is...

In case you are wondering... I'm not okay. I'm not okay in settling. Yes, you heard me right. Once was enough. But I'm not settling into something that I know I don't deserve. I don't know when that day comes... and honestly, I'm not afraid if it doesn't come. I'm not afraid. I have no fear. But if settling down to anyone is the norm these days, then I'm not okay. ... I deserve more...

This made me realize that there are many women out there whose circumstances are far worse than mine but despite it all, they choose to be strong. It's not an easy decision. But they have to. I'm so amazed with this woman's confidence, wit and grace to bounce back up. I'm very fortunate that I have...

There is a terrible pain in the left side of my heart. I can't seem to get it off my chest. Thinking of all my classes in internal medicine, I'm deciphering the various differential diagnoses I could get. Am I having a heart attack? Heart indeed. But no, not an attack. Just a case of emptiness. It's funny how you possess that left side of my heart. Why not occupy this right side as well?...

The Dawn of Social Media

Thursday, March 24, 2016 / BY Unknown
I was born in the late 80's and grew up seeing the advances of the computer as well as the internet. As a child during that era, I was accustomed with MIRC and ICQ, wherein the sound of the dial-up was music to the ears (knowing that you could have internet access soon). What I liked most about this era was that you can meet a variety of people and keep up with friends you...

You couldn’t let me love you, so for a while you decided to make me hate you. How crazy is it that for you...
