Last Saturday, I was reading this month's Reader's Digest . There's one article that caught my attention. It's about the author itself actually. The author wanted to choose a career path right after he completed school. During his time, which was in the 80's, there were limited options. He had 2 choices: enter the corporate world(business field) or become a doctor. To enable him to make a decision, he did a placement at a multinational company for 1 month followed by a month in a hospital . He got a placement at a bank and he loved the environment. After 1 month, he went on to work at a hospital and the surroundings there was different. The hospital had an intense environment unlike the less stressful environment he experienced at the bank. He thought about the 2 experiences and realized that the business option will win out. But not until he witnessed an accident. the author helped the victim by sending him to the hospital and fortunately, he survived. When the doctor introduced the author to the victim's family, the author saw grateful smile on their faces. The family thanked him again and again. He thought to himself, "What a feeling this was to help save a person's life!!..at the very moment, he knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He enrolled in a medical college and became a specialist doctor. At the last paragraph of the article, the author wrote:
"we spend a lot of our time wondering about what path to take in our lives. This experience taught me that sometimes, you don't really have to worry about the big decisions. At times, these decisions are made for you- and that whatever happens is always for the best"
I have made a big decision in my life last 6 months. and just like how the author believed, I too believe that this decision is made for me and and it's for the best. if you read my last post, i mentioned that there's something good happening in my life. It has connection with the big decision that i made. tomorrow you will know it.:-)
