"House" is one of the few TV series that I obsess on watching. I always wonder why because I hate medicines and doctors bore me to death. Finally in one season, one episode, Dr. House told me why.
He was sharing his childhood experience with his psychologist on why he doesn't care about anything and everything.
He was at emergency bay of a hospital when he was only a child. He saw a dying patient coming in. A janitor was right there and made some comments about the patient. Nurses and doctors ignored him of course. After 2 hours of emergency routines, doctors still couldn't find out what was wrong with the patient. They called for help from the most reputable doctors around the area. 6 hours later the patient was almost dead and doctors still have no clue. They had no choice but to find the janitor. The janitor suggested some cures and the patient recovered 30 minutes later. The janitor went back to his routine work but now everyone in the hospital respect him like never before.
Back then as a child, Dr. House's key learning was
When you are RIGHT,
Nothing else Matter.
So growing up pursuing what he does best, he just want to make sure HE IS RIGHT and Nothing else really matter.
What an ideology to adhere to! It hits me right there. No wonder I like this show so much. I have been hoping to be right for so long so that everything else does NOT matter. But before perfection is achieved .... as far as real life has gone .... the fact of life now is
It doesn't matter
if you are Right or Wrong,
But Everything else Matter.
What about you ? Between the "Process" and the "Result", if you have to pick one, what will you focus on ?
