Description

Being humble means we need to trust other people’s capabilities. Sometimes, we tend to play the know-it-all role in a group. Although, we might be well acquainted with a certain issue, we need to exercise self-restraint. Don’t think as if you are the only one who has the unique idea or the solution to a problem. Because most of the times, we’re not. Not because others beliefs are in contrast with ours, we’d think they are stupid. We need to accept that we are prone to making mistakes.

one hot afternoon on a beach, people noticed a young girl drowning. They quickly rescued her. The little girl was unconscious. An old man from a nearby cottage hardly reached for the girl laying down on the seashore. As the old man was about to hold the girl, a furious man warned the people surrounding the girl to step aside, including the old man. I was trained to do CPR. Stay out of this. Let me do it, the guy explained. The old man stood up and step behind the guy and watched quietly while the latter was performing CPR for the girl. After almost a minute, the little girl regained consciousness. The people around them felt relieved and began applauding The guy, the old man who looks very happy, gratefully congratulated the guy as well. After two hours, however, the guy who saved the girl suddenly felt too much fatigue, experienced difficulty breathing and became unconscious himself. A few minutes later, he woke up in an ambulance, rushing him to the nearest hospital. Beside him was the old man he saw earlier at the beach. Now checking his pulse, the old man did the CPR on him. This time while he was unconscious. This time he learned the old man is a doctor. Why didn't you tell me you're a doctor? He asked. The doctor just smiled and answered, and doesn't matter to me. Whether you call me a doctor or not, precious life is in danger. I became a doctor not for the fame, but to save lives. We have the same goal, and that was to save the girl. Nothing could surpass the feeling that you have just saved another life. There's a lot of things to be protected other than our ego. The teary eyed man humbly said, Well, you have just saved two more lives today.
