t I shall do as a doctor.
Different people have different ambitions. Some want to be rich. Some wish to be
come leaders of the country to gain honor. Some desire to be great scientists. T
here an others who are mainly led by a spirit of adventure. The latest craze amo
ng young boys and girls is to go to foreign countries. Their aim in life is to e
arn a lot of money within a short period. I am a human being. I too have my own
ambition.
My ambition in life is not wealth, power or high social status. I am too modest
a young man to aim at any of these things. My ambition is simple enough. It is t
he service of the poor and the down-trodden. Ever since I attained adolescence,
it has been my joy to help those who are in trouble. Many a time I have left my
work at the weeping of the neighbors. I have spent hours and hours together to r
emove the cause of their sorrow. My heart weeps at the sight of people in troubl
e. I do my best to help those who need my help. And. what a joy it is to me to f
ind that I have been of service to some one. To work for others gives me a sort
of peace of mind.
This being the case I have decided once for all to spend the rest of my life in
the service of the suffering people. My ambition is to become a good doctor. For
this purpose I have made up my mind to join a good medical college after passin
g Pre-medical Examination. I am determined to be a doctor. I shall be a doctor,
different from the doctor who grows fat at the expenses of others. I shall never
be on the lookout for fresh cases. I take oath not to fleece my patients of the
ir hard earned wealth. I am sorry to find doctors who deceive their sick brethre
n. Doctor's business is after all service and I am determined to do so.
As a doctor it will be my object to charge only reasonable money for the medicin
e or medicines supplied to my patients. I do not want to collect any wealth for
myself. I need money only for my bare necessities. This money
I shall be able to have by having a good practice. I will work hard. I shall ear
n reputation of being a good all-round doctor.
It is clear from what I have written that service of humanity will be my motto.
I shall not run after riches. I shall always help the poor and the needy. May Go
d help me to achieve it !
