Letter Of Motivation To Study Medicine



Quality = Amount + learning

I came across this wonderful story of how beneficial it is to fail early, learn and not give up. is an experiment for qualifying students. This was what happened:

ceramic
Master announced that divide the class into two groups. Everyone who was on the left side of the study would be graded according quantity of work produced and the right side be qualified only by the quality of their work .

His procedure was simple: the last day of classes compute the weight of the group work amount of the ¨ ¨: 50 pounds of vessels would qualify as A, 40 pounds as B and so on. Those who would be qualified by the "quality • Only needed to produce a vessel to have an A, but should be a perfect vessel.

Well, when it came time qualifying came a curious fact: the work of better quality were all produced by the group that had been classified by the amount!

seems the group ¨ ¨ quantity produced pots like crazy, and learned from their mistakes, the group of quality · ¨ had spent his time theorizing about perfection and, eventually, to account their efforts, had nothing but grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.


The only way forward is to gain experience. To do this you must have perseverance even in failure. That is the importance of experimentation: learning systematically.
