FOCUS ON JOB

First-year students at Texas A & M's Vet school were attending their

first Anatomy class, with a real dead pig.

They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered

with a White sheet. The professor started the class by telling them,

'InVeterinary Medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities

as a Doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything

involving the Animal body'.

For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, touched his

finger in the mouth of the dead pig, withdrew it and put his

Finger in his mouth.

'Go ahead and do the same thing,' he told his students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes. But

eventually took turns putting their finger in the mouth of

the dead pig and tasted in
their mouth.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and

said, 'The Second most important quality is observation.

I touched with my middle Finger and tasted on my index

finger.

Now learn to pay attention…

Moral of the story: Life is tough, but it's a lot tougher

when you'r work like an idiot
