Dream a little dream of me

Grateful for my 2 lecturers who made the operation list today enjoyable, although I am halfdead tired being on call yesterday.

The best thing today was I was given the opportunity to do laparoscopic suturing for an ovarian reconstruction.

Although it was a single stitch with 2 knots of 2 loops each, I felt that I mastered it quite well.

Doing it in an Endo-trainer versus real human being is a world of a different.

Thank you for such an opportunity.

Dream a little dream of me.

Target in life!!

Inspiration from Dali

Don't aim just to be rich,
aim to
create wealth,
create better lives,
create better livelihoods for people,
create jobs where others can contribute to society
and be a useful participant.

Use your wealth to
fund your passions and causes,
and don't forget to enjoy yourself in the process.

Stand up
for injustice,
for the downtrodden,
for those who cannot help themselves.
Aim for equality for all, in all.

Have a zest for good things, finer things in life,
its OK to to enjoy.

Surround yourself with positive people.
Make sure your life partner is enthusiastic,
have energy for life,
and empathy for people, friends and family.

Don't wait for fate or destiny to affect your life,
its your life, make it happen.

Finding something or someone that/who means more to you than yourself.

Make a conscious effort not to hold onto
people who don't love us or
people who hate us or
people who make us mad or
people who take us for granted ...

we also care too little for the people who love us unconditionally,
the people who adore us,
the ones who still stick around
in spite of all your shortcomings.

Make an effort to to live healthy for yourself and
the people who care for you.
Live long but more importantly live well.

Make a conscious effort to
better the lives of the people
around you, your family and circle of close friends.

Bloom where you are planted,
not whine about why you are where you are.

Strength is about choices we make

The Carpenter
Author Unknown

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer/contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

... The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort.

Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."

Who could say it more clearly?
