Give it a try

" Where there is something that attracts your soul, you should go and try it. Although it might result great disappointment in your life, it helps you a lot. It doesn't matter if you win over or lose badly to the challenges that lie ahead of you, in my point of view, starting from the moment you start trying, you have already qualified yourself as a winner."

Doubts and concern that trouble you

I have been spending these few days in library trying to spend my time wisely and efficiently.

Having those experience encountering those people in my university make me somehow feel that i am just too tiny compare to those giants that stand in front of my way.

I of course feel unsure, concern and doubt that whether i can catch up with them in the very future, and every time i start thinking of it, it drives me crazy, cause i just can't get the solution out of it.

Of course deep in my mind, i want to be good. There is nothing wrong with the intention that i propose, but sometimes you just rush yourself too much and it will just end up with you in a situation with more pressure is exerted towards you and nothing can you gain from there.

Spending time in library do help me much in overcoming these emotional issue.

Reading through people's experience make me know that i am not the only one who is facing this.

& this is what i want you guys to know

- YOU ARE NOT ALONE-

There must be some people in this world sharing the same concern with you, and what you can do is open your mind and accept any critics as this will help you.

There is no point doubting yourself whether you can do it well, as no one can do it well at the first time.


Always read and speak it out when you have problem. Try to find someone to talk to and share your views and concern with the person.

Have a nice day.

love or work? priority

As you can see from the title, it is clear.

Love or work, priority? Which one deserves more of our attention?

Well, honestly, i don't really know the answer.

I have been keep on searching for this answer, but it seems like there is no a specific answer for this.

I can only say "it depends."

Well, it really depends.

For me, i will try to seek my balance out of there.

I will never forget my intention of choosing this path at the very beginning.

My reason, my dreams. Well, it seem to me like work is more important than everything.

But deep inside my heart, i urge for a sense of warmth, love and care. I care about others as i know the feeling that no one cares about you.

I was born in a family with my dad working outstation, my mum working all the days, and i am the only one growing up alone.

The smiles from those patients encourage me to keep on pursuing.


I believe this is the responsibility to love and to work.

One day i will learn.

I will understand my responsibility and carry out them well.

Depart as a medical student

Inspired by one of my best friends a girl Kelly, who has just finished her first year as nursing at IMU, i decided to give myself a try noting down bit and piece about my life as a medical student in Shanghai.

Kelly was my previous classmate before, we studied in the same class since junior one & it was surprising when i got to know her final decision of pursuing nursing instead of pharmacy. Some of us here might have misconception about nursing, they just think that nursing is a dirty work, as nurses ought to do all the cleaning job and they have to face in face with those patients everyday, doing things like taking care of them, perhaps greets them, calm them. In other word, nurses have become almost equivalent to maid that most of us have in our house.

Although all of this might make sense, it finds no yes in me.

To me, a doctor makes no difference from a nurse, since they are altogether in the medical team, sharing the same status, having the same intention- saving patients, serving for people, thus i strongly disagree with those people who claim that doctors possess much more respect than any other in medical team.

I soon completed my high school and started to think about the future. The very first idea to skim through my mind is to become a lecturer in university since i love teaching. I have always want to share the things that i know with people around me, giving them the mentor that they need when they are in trouble, the same as to me, hoping to get my own mentor too.

I am quite ok in my chemistry but later on i had a serious conflict with my previously primary school teacher, he talked to me for such a long time and he wanted me to pursue doctor, at that time, i was way too afraid to carry out the responsibility of becoming a doctor.

I feel terrified when handling people's life.

I feel the great responsibility and since i am perfectionist, this causes me a great deal.

Soon after an incident that took place changed my view completely, well, i have one of my dearest person injured, and there is nothing that i can do to make her feel better, all i can do is just use my bear eyes to look and my hands to hold her.

I was really frustrated with myself for unable to do anything.

The phrase "at least i try" suddenly poops in my mind and spontaneously it drives me towards my study at the moment.

I want to learn how to save people's life.

I have encountered so many irresponsible doctors and i really think that i can do much better than them, although not in the skill field, perhaps the presence of responsibility and love our patients.

Well, i guess there are still much to learn in this long way. I have just finished my first year, which is just a minor start of this long journey.

I will note down more about my life as a medical student, and hopefully you guys enjoy reading it.

Best regards,

Collin Lo
