A message to the extraordinary

If you consider yourself to be one in a million, guess what? The world doesn't need you.  The lofty abilities you offer are neither dependable nor consistent.  The system will continue without you because it never factored you in.

Even if you are merely a modest 1/100, the position you are destined to fill is designed to be occupied on chance alone.  Whatever organization, sports team, or business you are involved in, if there are few suitable candidates, there will be fewer positions. Your chances are effectively the same.

Yes, as always, play the hand you've been dealt to its fullest.  But remember that whatever you hold was given to you.  Give thanks, avoid hubris.

  2. I think all med students are one in 10 thousand, if not in a million, do you agree?

    So I think the above comment is right, the more one is gifted, the more is he responsible to use that properly

    Mathew 25:14-30
