little tale of a personal success
10 years ago
Yesterday has been a hard day at the hospital. from 9 to 17, almost non-stop, my phone rang every ten minutes because there were so many patients waiting for a bed in our surgery services.... But it got a little reward in the end.
A few weeks ago, I spoted a name on the list of people who were getting surgery, a famiiar name. It was my best friend from high school^^ I hadn't seen him in years, and I felt mixed about this. Back then, he was a guy I admired. He would always be loved by everyone he met, and succeed in almost everything he did, especially games, in which he wa a good strategist. In short, when I was young, he was an example to me. And I was always behind him in everything.
Yesterday, I decided to go and make it a surprise to him. He didn't know I worked in this hospital as the responsible of the patient flow. What's more, though he got surgery for his nose, he was hospitalized in gynecology services(sometime we put patients there when there's no bed in the regular services. So I seized the occasion to go and make a little fun of him^^
I went to his room, saying "So this one gets artificial vagina, let's see if he's ready". His face was priceless XD But then, of course, he was surprised to see me here, and asked me how I knew he was there.
"Hey, I'm the responsible here. No one gets surgery without me knowing." I replied.
We dicussed a bit, not for too long because he was coming back from his nose surgery and he was a bit tired. But it made me feel proud of me. When I was young, I would always try to beat him, or at least be a good as him, and I would think this was simply impossible. But there I was, appearing as the guy I had become. I had given up on following him, but I had found my own way, and in ome ways, I have become someone respected.
It's a strange feeling to look back on what you've done so far, and to realize you've done better than you'd have expected when you were younger. Like, from a shy guy who never dared to do anything, I've found this job by myself, and adapted quite well to it. I also learnt many things, how to draw, how to socialize, all this represents a big acheivement to me. It motivates me even more to do my best everyday. And it's a message I'd like to share.
Don't aim at being others. Find your own way, where you're good at, what you like, and keep doing your best. Someday you might eventually find that you got over the stars you were aiming at^^
