Ideals

Everyone has his ideals. A businessman wishes to make greater profit; a farmer expects plumper harvests; a student tries to learn more and better.

However, one should be sensible about whether his ideal is well founded or not. If it is, one has to plan and work hard for its realization¹. Effort, skill and persistence² are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help from others, including advice and support in one form or another.

My ideal is to become a doctor. It is said that the field of medicine is a well-paid profession, but I take it as a lofty profession entrusted³ with saving people’s lives. To realize my ideal I have concentrated on laboratory work to develop the analytical⁴ skills necessary to become a qualified⁵ doctor. I believe that I will realize this ideal one day.
