Lessons I learned from failure

Failure is inevitable. It hurts but It teaches a lot. I worked for months preparing myself to apply for US colleges. I stayed up countless nights writing my essays, studying for my SAT, working my GPA, and doing lots of other things. I dreamed of studying at any of these elite universities. I applied to over 20 universities, but guess what? I got rejected from all of them.
I vividly remember the moment when I realized that all the doors are closed in front of me. I knew that I am not going to make it and I will have to continue studying in my home country. I was destroyed from inside. I spent some nights crying, wondering where did all that EFFORT I made through the year go? I was immensely hopeless. Later, I got into one of the great universities in my country for studying medicine. I made a lot of friends and I started to feel satisfied. Now, I am really ambivalent and don’t know whether to apply again to the US or to stay in the place that I fell in love with. I guess that I will continue.

  Moral: Not all the things that we think are great choices for us are really the right choices for us. Sometimes life has to teach you a lesson to wake up and start to look around you. I fell in love with the university that I am in and I glad that I didn’t get into any of the US universities I applied to

    Hello!

    That is absolutely how one must view their life decision, whether be Universities or not winning the lottery. We must never take in adversity in the face of failure and make it control our view and actions in this world. Rather, we must make it our prey and a constant variable for teaching. I'm currently also attempting to apply to Medical Universities and I have chosen my options in several countries. I expect not to be accepted, but albeit it is challenging, I must try and that is what one must do; Try for it is the best incentive to life, try and try and try in whatever method you find successful. I'd like to end with 2 Quotes from fictional and non-fictional individuals that are connected with the same vital idea of failure:

    "It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." - Bill Gates, Founder Of Microsoft

    "Failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is." - Master Yoda

The suffering that people with cancer live with!

Image
As a student doctor, I have seen many patients who had cancers growing in their bodies and don’t feel it and don’t have any symptoms until it is too late (until the tumor has metastasized to other organs) I have seen a patient who has lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) He didn’t feel anything; he literally had no symptoms, but one day he started to have some symptoms related to his respiratory system like cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis. When he did a chest x-ray, he was found to have massive pleural effusion (water on the lung) due to the tumor metastasized to his lung. He had an x-ray similar to that. Look at the left lung! Not only that but he also, when he was asked to do a CT scan on his abdomen, he was found to have the tumor metastasized to his liver. (Can you see these blackish areas? These are multiple tumor masses growing at his liver) I knew that this patient had a very bad prognosis and he most likely will pass away in a few months. It is very sad to know that. The...

Can someone be born with a penis and vagina together?!

Image
That vaginas are the basis of human life. Not only because without a vagina you wouldn’t have been there, but also because without a vagina, something  else  wouldn’t have been there as well! Let me explain to you what is it. Did you that at some point in your life you had a vagina? yea vagina! For me, this is disturbing but still fascinating! Reproductive organs in human (whether as a male or female) during fetal life is the same. It is an incompletely differentiated vagina that is waiting a signal from your body to differentiate. If you are a male which means that you have XY chromosomes, genes on your Y chromosome will make this incompletely differentiated vagina turn into the male reproductive system. While if you are a female, this vagina will continue to differentiate more and more until it gives the final familiar shape. Take a look! Unfortunately, there are some unlucky males who have problems with the genes that are responsible for the differentiation of their genital...

Excessive meat consumption and its relation to hypertension and other diseases

Image
I am really shocked by the fact that many people think that the more meat they eat, the healthier they get and the better their health becomes! Let's crush this fact in this article. Let’s dive into some details about what can increased consumption of meat do to your body. I will begin with very very basic concepts related to basic physiology in our bodies and later I will show you what does the recent research and trends say. 1- I ncreased consumption of protein (steak) is associated with hypertension due to the effect of protein on our kidney and its ability to reabsorb sodium The topic may seem confusing but I will make it so simple as possible. We all aware that steak is a great source of protein, and all of us need a constant amount of protein to avoid collapsing our metabolic pathways. For now, I will talk about how excessive consumption of just protein is related to hypertension (not mentioning cholesterol and animal fat and their direct negative effect on our health) Meat i...
