Heaven knows

There are many posts in this blog relate to how we can achieve success in life.

However, being too obsessed with success and failure can be dangerous. Because once we are too attached to them, we'll lost our freedom in life. They (success and failure) will become the one to control our life. They will become the only goal and reason for us to live in this world.

Furthermore, we may even reach a stage when we don't even feel happy anymore even though we achieve success.

There was a well known doctor who enjoys huge popularity at a city. One day, a young lady visited him. After examining her, he found a tumour in her ovarium. She needs to go through operation to remove it.

After short preparation, the operation begins. With the latest technology, this operation is a small case for an experienced doctor like him.

He then cut the stomach of the patient, working towards the ovarium. However before he makes his way to the ovarium, he stopped suddenly and the sweat poured down his face. What he'd seen was a baby and not tumour.

He faced a dilemma. If he cut off the foetus and tell the patient that it's a tumour, his patient will thank him and he'll keep his good reputation. On the other hand if he admits his mistake then it'll ruin his reputation.

After couple seconds, he came with a decision to put down the knife. He then sit quietly in his office waiting for the patient to regain her consciousness.

Afterwards, he walked into the room and told his patient and her family saying: "I'm sorry, I have mis-diagnosed. You are pregnant and there's no tumour. Luckily, we found it in time and the baby's doing well. You'll give birth to a healthy and cute baby."

The patient and her family were shocked. After a couple seconds, husband of the patient went out suddenly and grabbed the doctor and said: "You're a bad doctor, I will sue you!"

The baby grows healthily but the doctor was sued and almost went bankrupt.

A friend of his laughed at him saying: "Why don't you just let it be a mistake? Just say that it's a wierd looking dead foetus. Who'll know?" The doctor smiled then replied: "Heaven knows!"
