“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meanings” –Morrie Schwartz
I bet this old man above will be one of the very few people in this world, who have had a meaningful life before they die.
In his age of 82, he has to use a cane to walk, he has to sit on a chair to perform his solat.
But he still comes to the hospital everyday, to share what he can share, to give what he can give, to contribute what he can contribute.
What a great old man.
He do what he thinks he had to do, despite some of his students who don't appreciate him at all and just hope him to die.
Or some who couldn't help but giggling every time they saw his fake teeth nearly came out of his mouth when he was mad at the students.
Or even some who playfully snapped his picture in the middle of the lecture just to put it in their blog. =P
Ghong aaa.
I don't know you that much aa, but I'm sure that you've been a great doctor.
May Allah bless you for everything good that you've done in your life.
P/S: I, on the other hand, am sure as hell that I won't be going to the hospital to work, let alone to teach students if I will still be alive in that kind of age. =P
