Hardworking

"I think you will become a specialist in 5 years time...." a patient said.

"why???"

"because you are so hardworking..." he replied.

"erm... uncle, hardworking doesn't mean i am smart enough to become a specialist..." I explained.

This was one of the most encouraging sentence I heard since started working, felt happy and funny at the same time because to me, hardworking doesn't equate success, but of course, hardworking does increase the chance of success exponentially.

What the patient observed did not really show that I am a hardworking guy, in fact, there are so many works a houseman have to do taking care of the patients, that's why, non stop working = hardworking, to them lo...

At least I felt my effort was appreciated by somebody else, that was really good enough to hear that, ahha!!

If only I can study the whole stacks of books, then that is the real hardworking to me... haha!!
