I felt awful yesterday and last night.
coz I felt dreadful over comments by Prof after we had mock presentation in the morning.
and I didn't get the chance to present to my own supervisors before - not sure why, but I kind of disappointed over this.
I felt hopeless and deflated, thinking that I will surely fail.
I cried many times throughout the day after coming back home. And definitely while driving home.
At 12 midnight, I felt it was the worst birthday ever.
but then... I forgot to look at the good things.
Prof allowed me to perform a Sistrunk procedure - of course partly ('mainly') done by him.
I had criticism during a mock presentation - which means I still have time to do correction and prepare before the real defense.
I did not get to present to my supervisors- but hey, I did get to present to one of the senior panelists, and also my previous supervisors (Prof Emeritus tau! hehe)
Why would I allow myself to feel terrible over what had happened? Why didn't I enjoy the present moment- Mek Ayah, my ohana and all the lovely people around me (and from far who have always been in my heart) :) and the day couldn't be better. Alhamdulillah ❤️
and my beloved boss ;) ;) said: "Ya.. one exam wont define you.. its what you do here onwards to your patients that defines you.."... too bad that he had to endure so much complaining beforehand. Sorry boss 😘
and I am grateful for this fb post that came across my wall, it really knocked me on the head so I could enjoy the moment.
here was the quote:
Complaining drains the good energy of the complainer and listener. Focus and take action on what we can control instead. And be grateful for the blessings that we have. The rest will take care itself.
-Richard Ker
So, let us not worry over the past and embrace each moment and do our best! Jia you 💪🏼
