Great Things

"It has been a pleasure sharing the journey through med school with you, and I know that you will go on to do great things..."

Such a simple statement from my friend Ruth and yet, it meant so much to me.

From where I stand right now, I can't see what's ahead of me. I certainly can't see any "great things".

And yet, something about her statement alludes to the potential of great things to come. Something in her statement gives me hope.

I suppose the lesson here then is, never underestimate the power of a few sincere, well-chosen, kind words.
