Some people are SO focused on their purpose/mission in life (in a good way)
I was just reading some career biographies ..... and I was so impressed (and thankful) that there are people who arduously plod on through life - victory after victory (but those 'victories' come at the end of a lot of hard work). They're not looking for any recognition (beyond their own community perhaps).....but that's where we all live....in our own little communities first.

(okay, I was looking at Doctor's bio's)

:applause: "Thanks Doc" for all you do/being there/serving/you're only human....please kick the 'bad' doctors among you to a desk job/doing routine physicals before they really 'hurt someone'.... s'okay by me!

1. Agreed. It's a wonderful, amazing thing when a human being devotes his or herself to trying
to make the world a better place.

It's the highest calling, IMO.

3. It's what humanity should be about, but often isn't.
