“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that
makes life interesting.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Back when I was
a kid, people used to ask me who I wanted to become when I grow up. As huge
comic fan, my answer was simple...”i wanted to be a superhero".
One day upon
hearing this mom came up to me & asked, "since u want
to be a superhero, have u decided what kind of super hero u want to be?” Well I
thought for a while. I couldn't be superman as am not an alien, anyway I wasn't
a fan of him either. If I get to be a superhero, I always wanted to be 'THE
BATMAN', but of course I am not that rich & I don’t have high techs like
Bruce Wayne. And Am afraid of spiders, so getting a spider bite and
being spider-man was totally out of option. At last I told mom that I
haven't found out which Superhero I want to be, but I assured her that no
matter what I’ll be a Superhero & I’ll save the world.
She smiled and
pinched ma cheeks and told me that, “sweet heart, I am sure you’ll, then why
don’t u be a Doctor?”, I was shocked to hear that, actually I was afraid of
Doctors till then. And I asked “Doctor??? Are you telling me that a Doctor is a
Superhero??”. Mom said “of course dear, he is. Just like your superheroes he
has a superhero costume, secret weapons & most importantly, he helps people
in distress and saves the life of people everyday”. From that day, that moment
I had decided , that I’ll be a Doctor, that I’ll be a Superhero.
As I grew up
this dream grew up inside me. I was always anxious to know and gather knowledge
about this profession. Later I was fascinated to find out that this wasn’t just
a single profession, this was a whole group of professions, like a Doctor is a
student throughout his life who have to be up to date with the forever
developing medical field. A Doctor is a teacher, who imparts his knowledge to
the patients and the society to create awareness about diseases and healthy
lifestyles. A Doctor is a policeman, who fights against evil-social practices,
who fights for the welfare of the society. A Doctor is a soldier who risks his
own life to protect and save the life’s of others. A doctor is a scientist who
always keeps his faith in science and keep on researching and carrying out
experiments to take medical field to new heights for the well being of
everyone. A Doctor is a world citizen, who has no nation nor races neither
religion, for whom the whole earth is home and one family & he serves all
without bias & partiality. By then I was quite sure that being a Doctor was
never just choosing a profession, but it was choosing a whole new way of life,
where I’ll have to live and fight for the betterment of the society.
Mom, like always, you were correct about this too, a Doctor is indeed a Superhero, perhaps the Greatest of all heroes. Thank you Mom
