About taking test

Surgeons are put through rigorous tests just to get in the game. We endure decades of anxiety-provoking acronyms. SAT. MCAT. USMLE. ABSITE. And if we pass that gauntlet, we are rewarded with the need to log 850 surgeries and take an 8-hour multiple choice and oral exam. There is almost no time to take in the victory. Or even a nap. Researchers studied why some people perform better on tests. They found that it’s not necessarily related to intelligence. Some […]

About Humility

How good are you in …  Was one of the most memorable question asked to me this week. During chat with a friend around strength and weakness, she noticed that I diverted to say what is my strength, so she asked why it was so hard for me to say it. I replied my friend that because I don’t think I’m good enough, as there is someone better than me. And maybe it’s the upbringing thing that made me can’t […]

Hello 2022

It’s been awhile I haven’t been blogging here. But this year I’m planning to be more regularly back to this space. I don’t like to rant usually. But let’s take it this time is special come back 🤣 Sometimes it’s irritating when you’re sharing your thought process about your finding and the other party just say that I’m anyhow and saying it with condescending vibe that I’m such a failure When you’re doing analysis there are many ways If I […]

Ideally we should ..

How often you say that inside your head? Or “by right, ..” and some other similar phrase. I have those moments last week which made me stress out because I want to do things in certain way and expecting certain result or outcome. But it didn’t happen. I was feeling down, demoralized and questioning myself if I do it right? To the extent that I kept messaging my friends in group chat. I lose my confident. The result was bad […]

About putting trust first

Trust is something you build on over time and earn. It’s not something you can just get from other people. I learned it from a comic book back then during my high school days. As I grow up, I have my moments when I tend to second guess people and doubt them. I feel worried if I need to trust people and they will disappoint me. So I decided to think all ways to prevent that. Some of my managers […]

Thought of 1st Dec

There was a saying, you’ll never know what someone has gone through, so as much as possible, choose to be kind than right. Someone might be saying a very mean thing or bitter, but we never know what had happened to that person. It happened to me, sometimes when I was having a series of bad events in a day, I feel that I lost my patience, I just want to lash it out and all. But I also realised […]

Thought on Nov 19

The trips will feel longer when you do it the first time. For example, when you’re going through a road for the first time. It has the excitement as we are observing all the new things we see. So, that might be the reason, you think? The more you travel to different countries and places the more you see that they have different challenges.What you see is a huge problem in your country or place where you live might seems […]

Day one or one day?

What’s your mission? Do you still remember it? I feel that sometimes we will just get carried away with our day to day life and then we forgot about why we do it for the first time. Because we were dragged by the wave of life, we then forgot why we are doing it for the first time. Happened to me recently when I flipped my notes to early this year. And I found what I had scribbled about what […]
