BERNIE SIEGELI truly feel the best doctors are ones who are criticized by nurses, patients and family. They do not make excuses and learn from their mistakes.
BERNIE SIEGELIt is the experience of living that is important, not searching for meaning. We bring meaning by how we love the world.
BERNIE SIEGELIf you love people, you’ll enjoy your life. If you don’t, you won’t love anything you do.
BERNIE SIEGELIf none of your role models provide the answer, then it is time to go within and ask yourself, “What would make me happy?” In other words, let your feelings guide you. This doesn’t work well if you focus narrowly on your personal needs.
