The best job in the world

by Myriam Petit

I'd like to tell you about the best job in the world. It's a job that helps you see yourself for who you really are and teaches you to live for others. Can you take a guess? It's a job as a nurse! You can recognize people who are born to be nurses by their kindness, their joy, their love, their patience, etc. They are wonderful people who are there when you need them and are always ready to help! Being a nurse is much more than a career, it's a calling. Like with any career, you have to love what you do for work. However, many people aren't happy with their jobs. Each person must find their own calling. We aren't all destined to be nurses or doctors; the important thing is to find our place, the job where we feel most useful to others. I want to be the hand that helps others, to be there for all those people who need help, I want to be a nurse! I want to feel useful. I want to live to help others. I want to change people's lives forever, to be a ray of hope, to comfort them when they're frightened. If I can help, heal, encourage with a smile, bring joy to those around me, I will feel that I've had a successful life. Our journey through this life is so short. The important thing is to find the right path for you. I've chosen nursing. What about you?
