After all, how do you know that getting your medical degree will actually make you any happier? Hi Si,

This is a perfectly fair point, but I would argue that if you HATE your medical studies, it just isn’t worth forcing yourself through five-six years of it. After all, how do you know that getting your medical degree will actually make you any happier?

Thanks for this timely article. I have some things right now that are goals of mine but have just recently started to cause me some stress. That kinda crept up on me before I knew it.

Depends on what it is we want and what we define 'hard work' to be. It is an incredible struggle for me to stay positive when compairing myself with others. Sometimes it is hard to choose 'making ourselves happy' over the commonly chosen path of 'do x to make mr. x happy'. How hard should we work to get what we want?

I find I have present day and long term goals that conflict with each other. I enjoy writing a blog and believe that long term it will be of great benifit. However, I also have a young son and want to spend as much time with him as possible. Toss in a full time job and things get crunched. So I write when he sleeps, so far it's working. Great post, thanks very much for it.
