"Give them kindness..."

Today was our work Christmas luncheon at the Prado and one of the doctors gave this speech about "touching" those around you. He described life as a pond and we were the pebbles being thrown into it. With each movement we cause ripples in the water, and in turn, touch those around us.

He said something like people don't necessarily remember the things you do but rather how you make them feel. I was thinking, damn that is soo true. Looking back at certain situations, I can remember how angry I was or how happy I was but I don't necessarily remember the details of those events.

So in the future, no matter how upset I am or how much I want to punch someone in the face I'll remember his advice because I don't wanna be remembered for making someone feel horrible. Especially when it comes to patients! Make everyone feel welcomed, make everyone feel good.

Moral of the story, DON'T ACT LIKE A BITCH! haha
