Intersting Chat - to start the day

I came across, online, a beautiful post that made my day and I have to share it on my page so here it is.

God : Hello. Did you call me?

Me : Called you? No. Who is this?

God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me : I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me : Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.

God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me : I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God : Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the
medium you are comfortable with.

Me : Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me : Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your
habit. That’s why you are not happy.

Me : But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me : But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty…

God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me : If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer.
With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.

Me : You mean to say such experience is useful?

God : Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me : But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?

God : PROBLEMS are

Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength.

Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me : Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading…

God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken.
Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me : Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying
than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me : In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me : What surprises you about people?

God : When they suffer they ask, “why me?” When they prosper, they never ask “Why me?” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but
few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me : How can I get the best out of life?

God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me : One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me : Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.

God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a
problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

It's not all about the money!

Moments like:

When you a see a beautiful smile on a innocent kid's face and try to figure out why she might be suffering form a life threatening disease.

When a close friend has a miscarriage because the hospital could not take proper care and provide with the right guidance.

or the friend who had to sit through the emergency for more than 12 hours while suffering through immense pain.

When you tell a person that you have chosen medicine as your future career, the first thing that they respond with is, "Oh that's wonderful, doctors make a lot of money". Honey if we were in it for money, we wouldn't spend more than 13-14 hours everyday in the hospital, spend day and night preparing to get into a medical school, and once we get there spend another 6-7 years trying to gain a degree, to do what? oh! make money. I can do that with my father's business in half the time and effort. Medicine is a noble profession, we save peoples lives. Now Im not saying that we are God, but at least we try to help. we dedicate all of our lives making other more healthy and livable. We sacrifice our quality time with family, give up our relationships so that other people can enjoy those luxuries.

I met a lady a few months back and we had quick two minute conversation where I realized what her value for our professions was. We were at a financial meeting and she, being one of the top business associate, bragged on about how great her business is. I did agree with most of the things she said, she was very encouraging, excited and enthusiastic. Then I told her that i am a premed student, she smiled asked me to join her business, said that it has more money in it, has more profit. To support her point she gave me an example she said, "I have a family doctor i go to for the past 10/11 years and 10 years ago i didn't have any money or anything. After joining the business I am so well-off but the doctor is at the same place he was 10 years ago."
Now here she was comparing, a persons 10/12 years of dedication to money. Yeah clearly she didn't see that, if it weren't for the doctor, she wouldn't be in the position she is to begin with.

Anyways all i wanted to say was that, we chose this profession because we enjoy medicine, we are ready to spend the rest of our lives in the hospital helping people.

Herez the summary: 4 years in college, 4 years in med school, 3+ residency, 2 or more fellowship, 10 years to pay off loans. We are almost 40 years old. We didn't choose medicine for the money!!!

writing a blog

Hmmmm now here I am trying to figure out as to how I should shape this page into a beautiful, insightful and amazing blog.

Yeah I am already thinking about the day when I will have about 20000 posts, I will be a doctor and i look back at this site and say, hmm maybe it was a great idea to start a blog.

Well, i think they should have dummies for blogging, or maybe they do, I just haven't checked. Now I'm not sure how all this works. The first post i had up, took me like 3 minutes and it was more of a trial run. You know like in chemistry you get 3 runs with your titrations, yeah something like that.

So there I was thinking about this blog and if I should write descriptional blogs, or should I keep it informative, or keep it narrative to my wonderful life events. BUT then the most wonderful thought of my lifetime hit me - STOP THINKING. yeah i guess that was great idea, I do tend to over think things, going on and on as to what I need to do. Maybe i should just go with the flow, write about whatever the hell I want to, in whatever style I want to.

Well just a little heads up on the style that I do got -

Warnings

I do tend to go off in tangents - like - a lot

I will probably edit my posts twice or three times to still keep the point of the post intact well, if i HAVE a point to begin with.

My posts are going to be completely random, will bear absolutely no resemblance to the previous post.
I will seldom, if ever, talk about the actual title of this blog.
I do not carry the gene of consistency - so don't expect any steady flow.

So all in all expect the unexpected!!!

Reader discretion is advised.


P.S - Do expect the design of this blog to change quite a bit for the first few months, i tend to be very fickle minded.

About time I started

Yes this blog has been up so quite some time now, and I intended to turn it in to a full flourished scripture of my time as a premed, but I kept putting it off.
The other blog that I have on my page was actually made for my first year english class. Yes i know, we had to BLOG to get those writing grades. And the very sensitive and activist type of a freshmen that I was, what a better blog topic than genocides - I thought it was perfect for the class. later I found out that other people in that class had their topics range from hockey to burgers.

So here I am my first post for this blog. Wishing my self - happy writing.
