making enough money just to keep us working, but too busy to lift up our heads to see what’s happening around us, what is happening to us, or where we’re going. Charles Tadros, M.D. May 25, 2023 Saint Louis, Missouri

We are running helter skelter toward fantastic opportunities with artificial intelligence. I have stopped looking at future potentials, as well as future hazards, with yesterday’s mind.
Absolutely, humans can and will adapt… it’s just that many humans cannot adapt fast enough.
This is where organizations, governments and societies step in to support and protect the most vulnerable.
I, for one, am very fortunate that I do not need any such support or protection.
I suspect that many of you see yourselves the same way too.

My text to a 22 year old family friend about the dislikes of his first full-time job…and my sense of the world as a 58 year-old father, husband, son, brother, physician, and former employee (turned employer).
Thanks for hanging out yesterday.I see a direct line between people who loved me and supported me (and often suffered while doing so) to my being able to sit casually with you to have a nice lunch, decades later. Seriously consider listening to what you think, say, and feel as NOT being abnormal or diseased.Continue reading “My text to a 22 year old family friend about the dislikes of his first full-time job…and my sense of the world as a 58 year-old father, husband, son, brother, physician, and former employee (turned employer).”
It’s fantastic if what we were trained to perform (or were educated to know) aligns very well with what we are good at performing, which, in turn, aligns well with what gives us joy when performing, which, in turn, makes us a good income, gives us financial stability, and helps grow our wealth.
Too often the subjects of our training and education are not necessarily what we are good at performing, nor do they give us joy. Even if our training, education, performing, and joy all align, such qualities do not necessarily, or automatically, translate into a good income, financial stability, or help us to become wealthy. VeryContinue reading “It’s fantastic if what we were trained to perform (or were educated to know) aligns very well with what we are good at performing, which, in turn, aligns well with what gives us joy when performing, which, in turn, makes us a good income, gives us financial stability, and helps grow our wealth.”
The tail end of my discussion with a young friend regarding his natural frustration, 4 weeks into his first real job…
by the way your bosses, just like your high school coaches, push you hard and don’t want to hear excuses. They believe that you can do good work.What your new bosses will notice are: 1) that you show up on time or, better yet, early. 2) that you ask insightful questions, BUT DO NOT ASKContinue reading “The tail end of my discussion with a young friend regarding his natural frustration, 4 weeks into his first real job…”
OCCASIONALLY, WHEN I AM LISTENING TO A YOUNG MAN OR WOMAN WHO IS LOST IN LIFE, WHO DOES NOT SEEM TO FIT IN WITH THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS, JOB, CAREER, OR TOWN, I REMIND THEM THAT FOR A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS AND LESS THAN 5 HOURS ON AN AIRPLANE, THEY CAN MOVE TO ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE THEY MAY FIND A BETTER SOCIAL FIT, VARIED JOB AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, MORE LIFE SATISFACTION, AND, POSSIBLY, INTERNAL PEACE AND HAPPINESS.

IN MY MEDICAL PRACTICE, I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF SEVERAL, YOUNG, HIGH SCHOOL MEN WHO WERE ABOUT TO GRADUATE. WHEN I WOULD ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO NEXT, AFTER COMPETING HIGH SCHOOL, SEVERAL WOULD STATE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING WITH ONLINE, OR MULTIPLAYER GAMING. I WOULD THEN ASK IF THEY WANTED TO CODE GAMES, WRITE STORYLINES, DRAW THE ARTWORK, ETC.? THESE MEN WOULD PAUSE AND THEN, UNIFORMLY, THEY WOULD STATE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PLAY THE NEWEST VIDEO GAMES AND GET GOOD ENOUGH IN ORDER TO ADVISE THE GAME DEVELOPERS HOW TO DESIGN BETTER LEVELS AND BETTER GAMES.

MOST EMPLOYERS ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO THINK ABOUT OR TO FIX ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOUR JOBREQUIRES.

IT IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING. THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE PROFESSIONS WHO REQUEST THAT YOU CALL THEIR DEGREED AND CERTIFIED MEMBERS, “DOCTOR”. ALMOST ALL HAVE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT EDUCATION, TRAINING, EXPERIENCES, CAREERS, FOCUS, AND COMPETENCIES.

PART OF ANY JOB, WHICH ADDS VALUE AND HAS SIGNIFICANCE, IS TO DOCUMENT AND SYSTEMATIZE WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT, IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP OUR TASKS WHERE WE HAVE LEFT OFF.
