[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7971243, member: 6803337"] Amen. Cue music: Eminem Well, this looks like a job for me / So everybody just follow me / 'Cause [i]we all need some encouraging[/i] / Life would be so empty without me! End music (Lyrics in italics slightly edited) Try using these quotes when somebody tells you discouraging news: [LIST] [*]"Always with you it can not be done." - Yoda [*]"Do not take counsel from your fears." - General George Patton [/LIST] There is more than one way to skin a cat, even a cat that wants nothing to do with it and refuses to cooperate. We have to keep looking, keep working on it. Challenge the naysayers to offer an alternative. Anybody can sit in a comfy armchair and disparage the efforts made by others, kibbutz and carp and complain. What IS going to work? Having an M.D. is a sign that you hold greater responsibility to lead, to work, to seek out a cure - not to prevent action others are making to achieve same. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by blood and dust and sweat; who strives valiantly; who errs, who falls short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause.
