Dr. Dev (fictional name) was in first year of junior
residency in Department of Surgery, AIIMS, New Delhi. A workshop on surgical
sutures (stitches) material was organised for the residents of the department.
At the end of the workshop a written test was organised to check what the
residents have learned by attending the workshop.
As Dr. Dev’s seniors had taught him well about sutures
and other surgical instruments on joining the department, he had good knowledge
even before the workshop. Also, as that day was not their emergency admission
day, he was able to attend the workshop uninterrupted.
Due to this, Dr. Dev topped the test defeating even the
second and third residents by scoring a perfect 20 out of 20 marks .
Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji (fictional name) was
Professor and Unit Head of unit in which Dr. Dev was posted. Dr. Tarun Kumar
Chaturji had left the workshop well before the test was taken and the result
was declared.
Next day, at the time of ward round, the Assistant
Professor posted in the Unit informed, Dr. TK Chaturji, “Sir, after you left
the workshop a test was conducted for the residents in which Dr. Dev topped.”
Dr.
Tarun Kumar Chaturji who was not impressed with Dr. Dev’s academic powers looked
with amazement at Dr. Dev and remarked, “If twenty donkeys (asses) run
together, some donkey or other will come first.” “That doesn't mean that donkey
has now become a horse.” “He will still remain a donkey.”
After
some achievement if your superiors/ teacher / parents / colleagues do not feel
overjoyed or do not express their pleasure, do not take this as a discouragement.
It may be that they just feel that you are destined for much bigger greatness
or they do not want you to become complacent and stop improving yourself.
An achievement is an achievement whether
it is celebrated or not celebrated by your superiors/ teacher / parents or
colleagues.
