damn this guy is a monster. wtf are you *******s doing with your life?

[MisterChase]

I looked at the guy's credentials and experience, and I'm pretty sure this guy didn't do all that on a 'ooh I'm a muthafuggin juggernaut of intellect, I'm so badass' attitude. People like these treat this stuff like a job; they're typically very orderly, unpretentious, and down to earth. They'll have very minimal, if any, emotional impediments to learning complex material and dedicating large majorities of their time to whatever they're doing. If you want to glorify something, glorify the contribution to society or to the resolution of problems larger than their lives. Don't try to mythologize the work processes that go into such accomplishments, because it does a disservice to those who might otherwise pursue similar paths but turn away from fear that they r not dat zomg juggernaut alpha badass.

[SurgeonBrah]

Not really.


Asian countries have the tendency to push their kids into being highly educated and make a lot of money, but I know many people who still aren't happy after being investment bankers or doctors.

I know nearly all of my colleagues are tremendously satisfied with their career choice.

I would say the jaded doctor is the exception not the rule, as it is in most professions.

[NeverGiveUp87]

he's married... he accomplished more in 10 years than all 100000000 of us miscers can do in our lifetimes combnied

Not quite.

Mirin his credentials, but I am baffled as to why misc always needs to find someone to worship. Set your own fukking goals, don't be a herd of sheep.

life's all about balance. his social life most likely sucked. meh, do what makes you happy I guess.

This x 1000. Being one-dimensional isn't all that great. I would know, I've been there before.

[RocknRollMuscle]

Yeah but can he pickup a sloot at a club? Think he's got the smarts to do that???

I think NOT! Beta Alert hellooooo.

[neuron]

You're 20. Have you ever worked in an OR? Most miserable place I've ever rotated through. A HUGE percentage of surgeons are jaded...do you think they'll make them look that way in articles? Pretty naive dude

Neurosurgeons are megalomaniacs, which makes up for their terrible lifestyle.

[Muckle_Ewe]

I don't get it. Expected a lot more.

[mandarin163]

Lol only on the misc could this guy be considered a loser.

[Johnnay]

LOLing hard at these jelly mofos putting chit on a guy thats done literally 10x more than they'll ever achieve. Bunch of haters projecting their own personal failures trying to bring hard workers down. Just LOL, its funnier reading your justifications too.

[JM3K]

i find it hard to believe people are that stupid to believe what justintense said, as soon as i read it i knew he was trolling. its not that hard to decipher a little sarcasm

[nextyearsharks]

Life is all about ****ing bitches and licking ass. That ugly mother****er is wasting his time.

u wot m8?

[nextyearsharks]

i find it hard to believe people are that stupid to believe what justintense said, as soon as i read it i knew he was trolling. its not that hard to decipher a little sarcasm

[Awarebrahhh]

I bet if he dedicated himself to lifting he would be Mr.O in 2 years.

[Lampards_Lard]

Fantastic achievements. He is a doctor thrice over ! The bar is now set ..

[_Muskelberg_]

would rather stay in bed and sleep

[Sergis]

as always, the bitter *******s on the misc grasp at every straw to bring anyone better than them to their level

crab mentality at its finest

[RobElite]

The guy deserves respect. Without out surgeons, a lot of people would die. If you don't want his lifestyle its understand, but he has done a lot.

[TawabTitan]

couldnt care less to do that chit

wait. what.. This guy got banned!?

[spamy]

Adi Gillespie or any other quarter of a celeb with abs and who has fcked at least a girl in his life = 100+ pages of guys riding his dick
An accomplished doctor who saves lives and has reached his potential = multiple posters calling him a loser

[GM54]

[mirroraddict]

as always, the bitter *******s on the misc grasp at every straw to bring anyone better than them to their level

I agree man.

But find your own kind of success, I totally respect the guy if it was his passion in life to be a surgeon. I also respect athletes who love their sport enough to dedicate their life to it. Regardless of money, I define success as having achieved what you dreamed of.

You can't say that a surgeon is the benchmark, this is what has caused lots of young men to become beta depressed *******s in my country.

[CokeAndRoidz]

life's all about balance. his social life most likely sucked. meh, do what makes you happy I guess.

It's the people who don't have 'balance' in their lives that propel humanity forward. I very much doubt this guy is thinking 'Damn while I'm in here saving lives and pushing the limits of medical science I'm missing out on getting wasted at the bar.' Some people are just on another level, he probably feels he was born to do this.

[travellingbrah]

Life is short as an Asian's whang. Why the fuk would I want to contribute to society when I can just live to make myself happy.

lmao, if everyone had this attitude we'd still be in the stone age. The things you use every day that make you happy, were invented by people like this guy who want to leave their mark on the world.

[pmoney14]

Not quite.

fukin this, so many ass lickers on the misc, ffs miscers even asslick men with good facial aesthetics, bunch of *******s

[mirroraddict]

so what if it's "easy" to you? I'm content with it.
the vast majority spend their college years partying it up, smoking, drinking all the time, gaming, sleeping late, waking up late, dont even lift, suffer from depression, etc. i'm none of those things

you only grow when you come out of your comfort zone, and that's all i've been doing. so for me, its not easy.
for example:
lifting at the begining was hard as hell, i was inconsitent as f0ck and heavy weights took a beating on me mentally. i would come close to barfing when i was bulking. but it was all worth it when i saw progress.

last year i didnt read at all. i couldnt focus, i was agitated and had anxiety most of the time. but i made it a goal and although it was hard to keep on reading, i did it. and i do truly enjoy it now. even though my "peers" view it was a waste of time/nerdy

i do things that are challenging and develop me as a person I WANT to become. its not easy but I do enjoy it.

edit: i had to type that all over again because my interent froze up for a sec



I hate to sound cliche and stupid but you have the mentality of a sheep. consistency is key and many people complain of a shortage of time(includign me) but if you are truly focused on it 24/7 and you want it bad enough it is possible. if i truly wanted to do all the **** he wanted as badly as i could possibly want it, i probably could (and so could you)

coming from an asian background, I was 4 years ahead in maths, and read at a 12th grade level in 7th grade. I know about hard work and dedication in academics, and it just doesnt really appeal to me

it boils down to how bad you want it and if you're consistent enough you can do it. might just be my naive teenage mind saying this. but I've grown and developed more than a lot of my peers by being consistent on what I think would make me a stronger/better person. i've grown beyond my expectations.
so i leave you with this :


maybe sounds stupid and optimistic, but thats all im about positivity and consistency

seems like the general argument of the thread is enjoying life vs working hard (preferabbly something in science)
you guys(including me) are exaggerating on some of the things. you critisize people who want to enjoy life: that they party too hard, drink all the time, smoke, no ambitions. and the others critisize people who work hard to having no life (no social life, etc; miss out)

what I have to say about it is: life is waht you make of it, sounds stupid but its the most simple way i can put it. for me moderation of both is key but I'd say im more on the "enjoy life" side



cliffs:
would you rather spend 5 years living as a lion? or 50 years living as a sheep?

note: i typed all this before and had better ideas but i had to retype it (internet froze) and forgot a lot of it. IDGAF about spelling and grammar cus this is the misc

I like this post.. Repped on recharge.


I know the feel, used to perform at the top of my class till 10th grade, but eventually I realized that it wasn't what I wanted. I come from a family of engineers/doctors, it was totally expected of me to be an engineer or doctor but I chose something that would matter to ME, something which would be an accomplishment for myself.

There are plenty of great achievements in the world, you don't have to achieve any particular one.


But I'm sure the guy in the OP loves his job/studies so he has achieved what he wants and I respect him for that, but don't keep the same expectation from everybody else.

[mirroraddict]

I know nearly all of my colleagues are tremendously satisfied with their career choice.

I would say the jaded doctor is the exception not the rule, as it is in most professions.

Yeah man, because in your country it is totally YOUR choice to be a doctor.

In countries like mine,people like the guy posted in OP are idolized beyond belief and this leads many people who are actually not interested in medicine to take up the stream. It's changing now, but for years this was the leading cause for depression in young adults in Asian countries.

[xMetalocalypse]

Meh, he's dedicated, nothing else to it. Once most people have a child, they don't give two fuks about their education.
