Page 2 - FINAL

Every human being wants to be happy, and I am not different. When we

feel healthy, strong and vibrant, we are able to physically do whatever we

want, but when our health starts deteriorating, everything in our life…

suffers. After leading a more materialistic life during the 90’s, I learned

that true happiness lies within oneself and not in the possessions one has,

because in the end one does not really have anything, it’s possessions that

have us. Genuine happiness arises from the fact of making another person

happy. Is there anything that can make us happier than saving another

life? Although seemingly impossible, all of us can do it! While being

born may be the highest emotional impression we can experience, when

we lose a partner, or a mother loses her son, or a son loses his father,

we experience the lowest emotional impressions we can endure, besides

our own death.

I think all of us would like to be heroes, saving other peoples’ lives,

whether it’s saving them from drowning or from a fire or a car crash. I

believe this is the reason why so many young people study medicine.

They do it with the aim of helping and healing. We need to know there is

a pathway to health, even when we have been told that there’s nothing

else we can do. We can’t give up Hope… ever.
