Up to now, I, Richard G Soper, carry
with me the lessons I have learned from my parents. Even now that I am a
physician, these lessons guide me. The parents in the family are responsible
for raising and teaching the next generations. The youth most often learn from
what they see we do more than we say. If we do what is right, then we are
setting the future generations on the right path. I have listed some of these
important lessons below, to share with other medical doctors, medical students,
and even professionals in different fields.
Do
your job right
Doing your job right means spending the
time needed to assure everything is as it should be. Always try your best to do
things right the first time you do it, but if you cannot, do not shy away from
seeking help from others.
Recharging
instead of catching up
Many professionals, especially in
medicine, use their days off to catch up with housework or unfinished work. The
problem with this is, we let ourselves be overworked even on the days allotted for
our vacation. If we always use our days off to do some other work, when will we
ever give ourselves the time to relax and recharge that help us prevent
burnout?
You
can do it too
If other people have done things I want
to do, then I, Richard G Soper, genuinely believe nothing should stop me from
doing it also. Yes, I might need time and some practice, but eventually, I
would be able to do it right.
Pay
with cash
Paying with your credit card might seem
to be the more convenient way of paying for your stuff, but when the payment
comes, you cannot deny that paying for interests are a bit ''inconvenient'. Try
our best to pay with cash to avoid being in debt just o you could pay for your
card's extra interests.
