"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." Steve Jobs

Honestly, I don't know if I would call it advice, but the most motivating thing I ever heard was when my pre-med adviser said to me in my sophomore year, "you may want to think about schools in the Caribbean." That completely changed my motivation and perspective, and it was the singular moment that reshaped the way I applied myself to my studies. True story. I look back at that moment now as the turning point in my pre-med career.

Don't go to med school.

― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better.

Love this quote......sometimes you need to laugh so you don't cry.

Awesome thread OP! there are some really great things on here and it truly shows the kind of people that go into medicine...I think all of the hard work and sacrifices we make in medical school will be worth it because we are going to be in a group of amazing people doing some really amazing things.

My favorites:

"Work hard in silence... And let success make the noise."

I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I must stop and look fear in the face... I say to myself, I've lived through this and can take the next thing that comes along... We must do the things we think we cannot do.
