Students at a Medical School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. Then the Professor started the class by telling them: 'In medicine, it is necessary to have two important qualities a...

Recent events have shown me that these people are still around and always will be. I was reminded of a couple of lines from my "bible", Desiderata; "Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is" h...
