Come What May

Every once in a while, we are confronted by things that lead us to several choices, of what we ought to do and what we must not do. Today, we have heard so much about problems. And I suppose, what would matter most is not how much time we have spent for this but what we have learned. This gives us the challenge to be more than willing to apply everything not just for the sake of the medical arena but in the service of humanity as well. For all of these would be non-sense if what we have heard or what we have seen would only be placed in the trash bins of our life. What would matter most is the meaning of everything.
There is this simple story by Paulo Coelho that dares to emphasize the meaning of everything we do. The story goes by showing a young man in search of a treasure. He travelled in different places and met different people. But in the end, he realized that the treasure he was keen to seek is just under the very place where he stays during his childhood.
I guess, the treasure that the author is referring here is not mere possessions that are exhaustible but the inner treasure that a man might find even in the dregs of his own heart. This is the treasure of meaning. But we cannot realize this type of treasure unless we try to go to places and meet people. In our local terms, those people are supposed to be our friends. We try to find the meaning of ourselves, as part of our profession, through these people by giving them the service we ought to give them. For once, we are not learning so much stuffs just to pre-occupy our neurons and keep them working. We do this for a greater purpose. And hence, by doing so, we find the meaning of our very self being students.
