A Quick Thought
Why do lots of people feel ashamed when they pronounce an English word in an incorrect way ! While on the other side , we never made fun of those who don't speak Arabic well , neither do they feel ashamed for that ! But when it comes to English , it is the thing that you should know , and if you don't , it will be a great disgrace !
Need to be Said
Why is it hard for us to accept the truth , why shall truth always - or lets say most of the time - makes us mad ! Why is it hard for us to admit that we are wrong , why we don't listen to what is being said , when it comes to proving us wrong ! Why we don't want to believe anyone except the voice in our minds ! Why do our preconceived ideas prevent us from reaching the truth !
I believe that when someone goes into a situation , he should listen for feedback . He should widen his view by using others' eyes , since he would never be able to see the whole thing all at once , there are always different angles to look at the same thing in the same time , and see different things !
Sometimes , the situation we are going through narrow the choices in front of us , and necessitates to think in a certain way , pushing us away from other roads , and restricting our decisions according to the limited view we had ! And here rises the importance of listening to other point of views !
We should be fair with ourselves , while having others talking , its not enough to hear them with our ears ; we should listen to them with our minds ! We should be neutral and unbiased with our preconceived ideas or any personal believes about the person or the situation !
Well , my friend , I am sorry , but when you ask me about my opinion , I should say nothing except what I see in front of my eyes - regardingless of its trueness or matching to your believes - but since you had asked , you should have listened ! Otherwise its better not to ask in the first place !
Of the Best Feelings
One of the best feelings is , when you feel that someone cares about you and is looking after you !
When you see things in a different way
Well after spending the first 3 weeks of my new rotation " Obstetrics & Gynecology " - ya3 - in the hospital as a patient , today I have finished my second successful week in this rotation . As a good news ; I can say we have reached the best formation for our sub-group ...... Me , Omar , Munjed , Samer , Fareed , Muna , Rasha , and Lina :) One group spending good times together , laughing , joking , picturing , where we all can understand what does each one of us wants , with no more LOTS ! The rotation so far seems to be well organized , starting the morning report at 8:00 , history taking and rotation activity from 9:00 - 9:45 , round with the attending doctor till 11:30 , then we will have a lunch break from 11:30 - 12:30 , then a seminar for an hour and a half .
The past few weeks were different , and what made them different , is the way I see things ! During my whole life in med school those weeks were so remarkable , I have never felt down due to the amount of studying , I have never been broken into a million piece when being criticized by any of the doctors , I have never woke up late , I have never thought of not attending , I have been studying with a smile on my face , I have been much more active in rounds and lectures , I even have never yawned during the lectures , I kept looking forward for the next day all the time .........
I have been in this rotation before , and systemically , it is not much more different from other rotations , it is same same , the same studying , the same doctors , the same material , the same 6:00 AM wakening up , the same way back and forth , the same usual normal boring stuff . All these things that I have been complaining about before , have been changed into an exciting , amusing , & pleasurable moments .......
Maybe some times we need to change things to feel happy ; or more correctly to feel different ! While on the other hand , we can reach the same result if we just try to change our perception and sensing about the same things that has been around us since ever ! Well maybe that doesn't sound as easy as it sounds , and it might need something big to happen to initiate a whole cascade that ends up with you seeing the same exact things in a different way ! Which is totally worth it !
