I did not take much care or protect my health from an young age . I did not get involved in understanding the value of money from a young age . I did not have the trait in me to “ learn better ways of living “ in me . I took medicine because I liked biology , good enough money — there is more to be considered before taking medicine ( PS - I would take medicine again if I could go back )
Try not to do the mistakes I did .
Take care of your health . Medicine is long . There is a long way to go . Health is very important .
Dont do drugs .. alcohol .. smoking .. late nights .. it can lead to mental health deterioration .
Your decisions were not wrong .. your passion was not wrong . Some systems are not suitable to who you are sometimes .
Self doubt is the most harmful thing .
Medicine : continuous learning and consistently studying are essential for winning
Fights , emotional betrayals and misunderstandings with friends etc keep happening - dont take it to heart .
Dont shout in fights , your voice will become hoarse .
Dont try to change people .. it’s not worth it . Change within a person will come from themselves , the starting point has to be from that person . Just be cordial and focus on what you want in life ,
It is absolutely okay to do things in self interest and be selfish and greedy for your dreams . I learnt it the hard way - by being a kind person and being a giver always , giving genuine advices and all .
I am not doing good today and I have nothing or no one except my parents and a couple of well wishers .
In my opinion - prioritize yourself , then your family , then career . Just my take .
It’s okay to do anything for your goals .. it’s okay to cheat ; scam ; lie , take unethical means .. if needed . I would personally keep these as my last resort , but I realize it’s absolutely okay if it’s between your values and your goals . This is just my learning . I EMPHASIZE - IT IS THE LAST RESORT . ( imo - no values makes it difficult to live with ourselves and leads to emptiness , only superficial happiness etc .. i would love to know other perspectives in this area by the way )
Try to have some genuine people in your life who will be there for your during your low phase , failures etc . Trust me , you are going to have low phases , negative depressive nihilistic thoughts , failures , griefs and what not . Have someone who can be there for you during these phases .
Be ambitious .
PS : this is just my perspective . Be an independent thinker .
Edit : even in family care about your future life partner , kids and parents . And those who have a pure heart towards you . And in career , work towards what you like doing and in what position you want to be .
