"I find your lack of faith disturbing."- darth vader
Vader was right.In order to some of the most difficult cases and success in the most sick pets, we have to have confidence.We must believe that our knowledge and skills, but we also need to believe in our team's knowledge and skills.I have seen some of the best save is I was the only one of a group of opponents said "he will get better."Because I believe it, have confidence in drugs, so it happened.

"Your focus determines your reality."- qui-gon gold
What a wonderful teaching.We often focus on grumpy customer or our understaffed.These negative thoughts into your reality.Why it's important to remember that we are into the veterinary domain;Because we want to help pet and practice good veterinary medicine.If we focus on the wonder drug, lovely cat, cute dogs, grateful for the customer, our reality will be more happy.

"You can't stop, just like you can't stop the sun."-- shmi skywalker
Change is scary, but in veterinary medicine, it has been happening.In the field of veterinary work after 23 years, I have become accustomed to change, I wish I knew when I started to change.One of my favorite veterinary clinic, decided to leave my work for the first time, I think the world will be over.This kind of practice could not survive.I was wrong.Shmi skywalker was right.You can't stop to change, change is possible, sometimes even welcome.

"In my experience, no luck."Obi-wan kenobi
Yes, obi-wan was very clever.On medicine has many unexplained things, but luck is not one of them.Your achievements are not accidental.Pets are saved because of the team.With your success and team success.

"Sometimes we have to let go of our pride, do what we want."-- anakin skywalker
I also don't like anakin, but what he said makes sense.The vet has no place to be proud of.Veterinarians is teamwork, there are many different methods to cure disease.An open mind and accept other people's thoughts, put pride aside, is always right and the team the best pet.

"The hand on the things you learn."- yoda
Yeah yoda!Many times, I heard "training is not my job".This is not only harmful to people who want to learn, but also training for individuals.Is closed and cannot be a good teammate, and is very unfavorable to the team.The lecture is everybody's job.I still learn something new every day, I thank you very much for all my life will be their knowledge to my particular talent.

"All mentors have a way to see more errors than we want.This is the only way we grow."-, mei
Being criticized is possible, if you provide some Suggestions, please make sure that it comes from the good place.And because someone said this could take a different approach and remorse, thank them.They are very concerned about trying to help you improve or show you the different ways to complete the task.Therefore, when we get feedback, we often blame themselves, and think we are bad or wrong.Instead, embrace it.Provide it might just want to help.

"One day you will be wrong" - princess leia
Leia was right.In fact, many days you will go wrong, it doesn't matter!I had made mistakes and thrashed him for these errors.The most important thing is that I learned a lesson from these mistakes, and try to ensure that they are no longer occur, and help others to avoid the same mistake.Wrong it doesn't matter, because we are all in a moment.

Finally, I learn from the "Star Wars" the biggest lesson is the importance of the team.Your veterinarian family is you strange and wonderful second family.Look at all the Star Wars in nine franchise movie team.The best team is made up of a robot, robot, this wookiee had, the jedi and rebel fighters team of what kind of?They are very different, but they all have the power to others do not.Accept differences and learn each other's advantages, you will be the best veterinary team.
