Failure can only be measured in what you have not learned from you past mistakes.

The paradox or our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degress but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more MEDICINE, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan mare, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.


These are the times of fast food and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. these are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or just disregard it.


Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person will soon grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved onces, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that persone will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. I Love You Guys!


"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"


Remember why you choose to become a DOCTOR. Remember that at the end of it all, your goal is to improve the quality of life of your patients. Remember, patients will go to you because they need a friend to open up to, and they choose to open up to you. Remember, treat your patients as human beings and not as a disease.

A friend of mine sent that to me a year ago or so and I'd almost forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me about it; it has a great message.

It is sweet I think we always get so busy in the works that we forget life.
