I feel that med school is making me dumb.
I miss making powerpoint presentations.

Nine Things Successful People Do Differently
- When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible.
- Seize the moment to act on your goals.
- Know exactly how far you have left to go. Monitor your progress.
- Be a realistic optimist.
- Focus on getting better, rather than being good.
- Have GRIT. Grit is a willingness to commit to long-term goals, and to persist in the face of difficulty.
- Build your willpower muscle. Your self-control “muscle” is just like the other muscles in your body — when it doesn’t get much exercise, it becomes weaker over time. But when you give it regular workouts by putting it to good use, it will grow stronger and stronger, and better able to help you successfully reach your goals.
- Don’t tempt fate. No matter how strong your willpower muscle becomes, it’s important to always respect the fact that it is limited, and if you overtax it you will temporarily run out of steam.
- Focus on what you will do, not what you won’t do.

Happy 2014!
IF you think back, and replay your year
- if it doesn't bring you tears of joy or sadness,
consider the year wasted. - John Cage
