The more I look at my CV, the more I seem to think so.
Have followed a more or less linear path- exam after exam after exam. 10/12/MBBS/MD.Was nearly heading into a DM reversal of role.That was aborted by something I still have two thoughts about.
But really cant escape the lack of laterality in what I have done/ achieved thus far.It seems someone has already done the spadework, thought and written the books we read, made the algorithms,defined the parameters, set the rates for 'cut', devised the techniques, attended the conferences, constructed the hospitals,established the contacts,conceptualized ethic and ethics.
And you just drift inertly from one to another. Go through the same motions in a quest to learn more and more about less and less.
DRK asked me " besides your score, what have you in your CV?"
I went openmouthedexpressionlesslimpideyes " blink, blink"
Probably I could commiserate thinking that ( as Dents says) "today is the first day of the rest of my life" and ( as Gaurav says) "age is just a state of mind"
So maybe I could pretend not to feel old or mediocre when students call me " Sir"
Thats a good start.

meliorix,
If you so prefer:
Judge not thee by your excellent test scores,
Judge thee by your intelligence,
Deny not your worth,
Your prose, your verse,
Your erudition, your creativity,
Any which way you look at the diamond that is you,
Its still a smoothly polished gemstone,
All you need is a good display case and excellent lighting,
And you will shine!
The search is on for your display case with excellent lighting!
