Wafik El-Deiry: Advice for colleagues who feel disappointed or discouraged from time to time

Wafik El-Deiry, Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at the Warren Alpert Medical School, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Advice for colleagues who feel disappointed or discouraged from time to time:

Life has many difficulties and injustices as you know but it is in how we respond to them that differentiates the ordinary from the great. A determination to succeed, to make the best of every day to make it count helps very much.

Taking advantage of opportunities with careful choices can help build experiences, relationships and open doors in the future. Our career is definitely a rollercoaster and so keep going and tomorrow or one day soon will be a better day.”
