Chapter 10 : Assets of a good Medical Student ( 4 )

A postgraduate student in her Masters of Ophthalmology training wanted to give up her studies after failing one exam, which requires her to repeat the subjects in six months time. I persuaded her to persevere and asked her to grit her teeth and sudy for the next exam. Thankfully, she passed all her subsequent exams without any problem. Currently, she is heading one of the eye departments in the country serving the nation. It is her perseverance that leads to this well sought-after position.
