Everyone should have an aim. There is a proverb that a man without an aim is like a ship without a rudder. A rudderless ship drifts on at the mercy of the wind and waves. Similarly, an aimless man is drifted along the current of life and he reaches no definite destination. An aim is, therefore, something like a compass for the adventure of life. A compass shows the right direction to a person who goes on an adventurous journey. Similarly, the aim in one's life leads one to the right path.
There are lots of aims for men and women in our society. Some men, for example, hanker after wealth, some seek power and position, some desire name and fame and some travel in the realm of knowledge. I want to be a doctor in life because I think I have special fitness for it. I think this is one of the most suitable professions to serve the nation.
Another reason behind my choice is that the profession of a doctor is no doubt noble. It is surely a humanitarian career. In our country, more than eighty percent of the people live in the villages. They live in wretched poverty, hunger and diseases. This is an unfortunate situation which should not be allowed to continue.
So I feel urge in my mind that it is my sacred duty to do something for the welfare of the poverty-stricken people of my own village. When I shall complete medical education and have my degree, I shall go back to my native village and start practising among my own people and try to help them in their illness.
There is really a great satisfaction in the service of the sick and the suffering people. By serving such men I shall be able to serve my motherland.
