i finally know what it means
to walk around in other person's pair of shoes
it feels different
the sky seems clearer
not as cloudy as before
the stars seems to shine brighter
not a faint flickering light
as it was before
i feel like i can see far beyond the horizons

the journey is turbulent and unpredictable
but love is the constant that will carry us through
our wings shall bind
and brave the stormy seas as
one

the hardened resolve to serve
medical school is a journey of self discovery
the patients i see taught me so much more about life
i am glad i chose this course
for if i had the choice to choose again
i will definitely still choose medicine.

to continue to believe in and feel optimistic about yourself when you have disappointed youself-yet again-is one of the hardest things to do, it feels..
but if there's a will..there's a way..i will take that way..even if it is the hard way.

i read in Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club that the saddest thing that can happen to someone is to lose himself or herself to the circumstances. Well..that seems to true..it's really easy to lose yourself once you become totally taken over and overwhelmed by your surroundings..be it an ambition, revenge, hatred...

it is one thing to want to and hope to be able to see things from another person's point of view
it is another thing when you are walking around in that person's shoes
it requires you to put away all your desires and even your own point of view
something which is literally inseparable from you
and immerse yourself totally in the other person's role
and feel the same way as the other person does
i must say
it really isn't as hard as what i previously thought it would be
it's even HARDER
the perfectionist in me finally bows down
i realise that i should really stop putting myself down
i can't be perfect all the time
much as i want to be
the people around me are like a mirror
that tells me when i need to step back and think
i believe that when there's a will, there's a way
