        " Our very business in life is to not get ahead of others... but to get ahead of ourselves."

                                                           Thomas S. Monson

                 

                           It's never good to compete against each other because all it will cause is problems with one  another. The reason why Thomas S. Monson is saying this quote is because you should be worrying only about yourself and not about others because at the end of the day the only person it will be affecting is yourself not nobody else.Think of ways to better yourself if people don't want to do good that doesn't mean  you should go along and do even worse because they are doing the same. Don't be a follower be a leader and show those who are doing wrong that you won't be the same you will do better because it will affect you and not the other person you are trying to get ahead off. Better yourself more then yesterday.

                        Allopathic Physician (M.D.)

Duties and Responsibilities: Physicians examine patients and obtain medical histories. They also perform and interpret diagnostic tests; and prescribe and administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease.  They counsel patients about illness, injuries, health conditions and preventive healthcare. They can also conduct medical research, teach and run medical centers. Often additional medical tests are required, including blood work, to assess biochemical indicators of general health or specific diseases.  A physician often writes an order for a pharmaceutical for the patient to take to either alleviate symptoms or to treat the disorder.

Salary: $86,600- $750,000.

Education: Most MD programs require 4 years of study, including emphasis on basic science, clinical work, and social science. The first two years of most programs are generally aimed at classroom learning of basic science as it relates to medicine.  Subsequent years of most programs then focus on clinical training.

Reflection: Being Allopathic Physician (M.D.) sounds like the regular doctor that will usually be in your clinic trying to figure out what is wrong with you. I’ve seen how hard that is because you have so many patients waiting on you, you must have a lot of passions in order to deal with a job like that. With that being said I wouldn't like to be a Allopathic Physician.

            "True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse."
                                                      
                                                       Og Mandino 

  

                                         

                             Og Mandino is making an excellent quote by saying that true wealth is of the heart not of  the purse because it matters more for a person to have a great heart and personality then if you have all the money in the world. What' a better way to be loved and liked for your money or for the person you are. At that time that you have all the money you can ask for and also the friends it might feel good but what if one of those days all your money runs out where will all your friends go if all you offered them was money and not kindness of your heart. That's why wealth is not of the purse.

                   Allergist/ Immunologist

Duties and Responsibilities: is a physician specially trained to diagnose, treat and manage allergies, asthma and immunologic disorders including primary immunodeficiency disorders. These conditions range from the very common to the very rare, spanning all ages and encompassing various organ systems. Examines and treats disorders and diseases of the immune system. Prescribes and administers patient medications. Performs a variety of laboratory procedures, examines sample tissues, and uses various biological and chemical analyses to identify harmful organisms or pathological conditions.

Salary: $187,400-$225,814

Education: In the United States, becoming an allergist / immunologist requires at least an additional nine years of training beyond a bachelor’s degree. After completing medical school and graduating with a medical degree, physicians undergo three years of training in internal medicine or pediatrics and pass the exam of either the American Board of Internal Medicine or the American Board of Pediatrics. May require at least 2-4 years of immunology/allergy experience.

Reflection: An allergist/immunologist doesn't sound like the type of career I would enjoy studying. It does sound like a very important job and the salary is not bad either but what’s the point in studying something your heart doesn't desire. This topic doesn't interest me and I rather be happy with my job then be rich and depressed waking up to a job I dislike.

                                                           Sterling W. Sill

                     

                                     In life money isn't everything. Sterling W. Sill makes a strong point by pointing out that just because you  might be wealthy in life that that makes you a better person than someone who isn't as fortunate. Being wealthy as what you are means what kind of person you are.  If you have all the money in the world but you're a cruel and selfish person nobodys going to see you as a good person. For example if you have a person who isn't as wealthy but is generous and kind of course he's going to be worth a lot more then the person with the money because at the end of the day money can only buy you happiness that won't last long or isn't real.

                    Acupuncture

Duties and Responsibilities: The stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body involving various methods such as penetration by thin needles or the application of heat, pressure, or laser light. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion and cupping therapy. It is a form of complementary and alternative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. According to TCM, stimulating specific acupuncture points corrects imbalances in the flow of it through channels known as meridians. Acupuncture aims to treat a range of conditions, though is most commonly used for pain relief. Doctors of acupuncture use implements such as herbs and needles to restore the energy flow. This course on herbs and health can give you an idea about natural medicine to supplement acupuncture.

Salary: $75,000-$80,000

Education: You will need the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree to begin a career and start earning as an acupuncturist in a regionally accredited college or university. You can major in a subject range as long as you include six hours in your semester for biochemistry, chemistry or biology, which is a prerequisite for Master’s program applications. To become certified, you will need to enroll in a master’s program that the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine has accredited. The required curriculum for acupuncture students include courses in ethics and practice management, counseling, biomedical science, treatment and diagnosis techniques and oriental medical theory.

 Reflection: This career won’t be one that I would like to wake up in the morning to go do. It honestly seems boring because to me all you’re doing is poking a person with a needle to heal them. What if an exscinded was to happen and I was to puncher something else? Plus it’s a very long process of education and to find a job because only 23 states allow this kind of process and the fact that it’s not legal in other states makes it seem as not a good career you would want to choose.

        "You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

                                                     Ezra T. Benson

                    Sometimes making the right choice can be hard for some people. But Ezra Benson is right, you can't do wrong and feel right that's the reason why you feel guilty after doing wrong. That's probably the main reason why humans have a conscience because we are not meant to do the wrong thing but the right thing and if we do make the decision to do wrong we always have something behind our heads reminding us it was wrong and that you must do the right thing. For example if you lie to someone you won't feel good inside because it's all a lie, it's not true. Making the right decisions can only bring good and positive feelings.
