Celebrating Commitment

My own personal brand of success looks significantly different than most people's I think.

My favorite goalkeeper said her biggest fear was being alone. I don't think that's true for me. I understand where she's coming from but I've been alone a long time and its not scary. I think my biggest fear would be losing that which I've committed my entire life to: my education.

I think I've learned to value what I have and what I can control. Valuing something you cannot or do not have breeds discontent and unhappiness. You can also miss what you do have pining for what you don't have. Though I deeply desire marriage, I can't control that. Instead, I focus of what I can do well without anyone else's approval or involvement.

I have historically succeeded academically (until med school where I'm just trying to pass), therefore my commitment has yielded things that mean a lot to me.  Commitment to my academics has had tangible returns in my life. Most people wear a ring on their left ring finger to symbolize commitment to another person.  I have yet to be able to convince another person that they should spend their life with me so my ring means something different.

I wear a ring on my left ring finger to symbolize commitment to intellectual discovery.  I'm a scholar. Its who I am.

If you know me you know, my PhD means a great deal to me and I have a huge ring commemorating that achievement. Now that I'm in med shcool, I can't exactly wear that under my gloves....

Welcome Qalo!

They are the makers of these super cool medical grade silicone rings that were designed for men who are commitment to sports and their marriages. Its been expanded to women and people who simply lead active lifestyles.

Thanks to them I can wear my commitment to the advancement of science and the frontiers of knowledge at all times.
