《非主流意見》

最近係CUHK見到有preclinical醫學系二年級嘅同學抱怨無限個lectures同考試成日會考萬幾張slides裡面其中一個角落嘅minute details

首先，其實講粗口我覺得真係無乜所謂。私人生活同工作要有嘅專業形象係可以分開。不過要小心嘅係日後要確保真係私人生活同it won’t come back and bite you，呢一行好窄同好多人對粗口敏感，而你嘅事業好取決於同行對你嘅評價。

我覺得成件事有幾個好重要嘅點值得所有人反思下

1. 考試內容有無必要考d偏到無得再偏嘅details

全世界醫學院考試都有類似嘅題目，問一些上堂其中一張slide個角落嘅其中嘅minute detail。好多人話靠這些題目可以分辨邊d學生係精英中嘅精英，邊d學生值得攞distinction

我同意要有differentiating questions，但如果條題目問你AdenoCa Lung with EGFR mutation T790M應該用邊隻TKI時，呢類嘅題目又係唔係適合去分一個學生嘅能力？係咪今日無背到個mutation panel係咪代表你唔係好學生，係咪差過其他有背到張Slide嘅同學？

如果要differentiate一個學生嘅能力，我會覺得complicated clinical presentation +/- multiple comorbidity同藥物相沖etc去睇下個學生會點clinically prioritize同workup個病人，會更加能夠分辨到精英中嘅精英。

如果preclinical basic science嘅題目我倒唔覺得有幾需要分辨有背到minute details同無背到嘅同學，反而更加應該加多少少clinical relevance on basic sciences例如pharmacology, microbiology, drug interaction, disease presentation with regards to physiology etc

2. 真係唔好睇考試睇得太重

醫學唔係淨係科學，同時係充滿人性嘅一門藝術。傳統考試並唔代表d乜嘢，考得好考得差，合格嘅你就係醫生。

Don’t ever be defined by exam

你需要嘅係合格，達到醫學界對醫生知識嘅最低要求同埋擁有應對困難嘅能力。當刻你醒唔起lecture 134第48張slide嘅內容唔代表你唔識，亦唔代表你之後會醫死人，會係庸醫。考試其間有種種因素，時間嘅壓力、大腦突然mind blank、一時諗唔通等等，令你答錯呢條題目。

呢個並無咩咁大不了，如果你真心唔識嘅，就吸收呢次經驗同知識，be better next time 。如果你係識但因種種原因答錯嘅，唔緊要，下次更小心就好，無須覺得自己比別人低等。

香港學校好容易會出現一種互相比較嘅氣氛，really there is no need for such culture，相信自己嘅能力，記著，你唔需要一份筆試去定義你嘅人生。

*不過當然你仍然要合格，只係無必要去同人競爭鬥高分

當你看開d唔再區泥分數時，就算你無背到d rare minute details時，你一樣會合格會progress，呢d古怪題目唔會佔多過10-20%

我明好多時會覺得個考試唔公平，覺得個分數唔能夠充分反映你嘅努力同能力。

你絕對entitle你對考試內容不滿嘅感受，this should be acknowledged and not dismissed and framed as you are just a whining child

3. 基本重要defining features你其實真係要識

你未必需要知道concurrent chemoRT for NPC個platinum based regimen係乜嘢，但你起碼都要知個mainstream treatment係乜，chemo要be aware of neutropenic fever，RT個概念係乜嘢，呢d真心同你以後日常工作有關嘅知識

你的確可以以後睇症時up to date所有嘢，但你起碼要有個概念先知要uptodate乜嘢，如果唔係真係search到2046無都未搵到個答案。

至於whole genome sequencing其實我覺得你唔需要知得好詳細，但都可以了解下到底迎l近年醫學因為基因學嘅發展而有幾大嘅進步，癌症同autoimmune等疾病嘅治療近年咁大嘅改變，基因研究功不可沒。

都係果句，唔識或答錯唔緊要，從中學習睇下知識，只份卷10%嘅題目真係唔會令你唔合格。

4. 好多前輩們其實可以諗諗你覆個學生嘅objective係乜嘢

如果你只係想開心share呀叔同老娘當年都係狂背書，呢d嘢係well expected嘅時候，你想achieve d咩嘢

現實就係有學生覺得考試唔能夠全面評核佢地嘅知識同能力，呢個係一個legitimate嘅感受。當我地立即judge佢嘅心態再下埋判決覺得佢唔會survive medical career，覺得佢無做醫生嘅資格或質素，甚至叫佢quit U or transfer，你係無address過個root cause and culprit

當然你絕對有權去覺得新世代都係whining child，心態有問題，但當你睇症時都可以嘗試去從病人角度出發再adjust your approach時，點解面對師弟師妹又唔可以呢？

我唔同意單憑一個secret post就落judgement去判一個人死罪再圍鞭一輪。

的確世界唔係圍繞一個人而轉，世界亦未必會為咗一個人而改變，但如果我地真心覺得有地方值得改善，係唔應該submit to the culture or system

The world might not change for you
But if you believe a change is needed
Be that change yourself

非主流意見遇咗實有人會唔同意

最後只想同所有讀緊醫嘅同學們講
Preclinical係好悶，clinical years會好好多。唔好睇考試睇太重，the last one who passes is still a doctor

相信自己嘅能力，捱過難關後便會有另一番天地

Don’t ever be defined by exams or other people

Do you want to be the very best founder? The best there ever was?

The key is to figure out early WHY you want to do a startup, rather than focusing on WHAT to do.

Much like when we were determined to become the Pokémon Champion, picking any of the starter Pokémons doesn’t alter the result. Once deemed the hardest decision for a young gamer, actually mattered very little. What mattered most was our persistence.

Working as a VC, this is in fact the same formula we observed when differentiating successful founders with their peers. What these great founders actually do on a day-to-day basis have minor variance with other founders, they might check off a few more items on their to-dos and have a tighter packed schedule, but what ultimately places them in first class is the conviction that drives action and relentlessness to overcome any problems they encounter.

So how can an aspiring founder like us wield this power?

It all lies within self-awareness and self-reflection.

Founders too often dive head first into launching a startup because of some technology trend, what VCs are investing in, or potential exits. These reasons will only fuel you for the next 3 - 6 months before burning out, but in reality, any reward that is worth the risk of doing a startup, takes at least 7 years to accomplish. So we need to spend 50x more time thinking about WHY we want to start a startup, and really fine tune our trajectory carefully until we have a strong conviction with our flight path before launching.

譯自原文：從創投籌措資金是非常有挑戰性的，從美國私人風險公司Andreessen Horowitz的研究報告指出，獲得創投的投資機會只有1/2000。身為創業者的我們，該如何提升自己的被投資機會？

📋文章中譯摘要如下：
1. 創投檢視新創的三大要素：巨大的市場(Huge Market)、差異化的技術(Differentiating Technology)、特別的人/創業家(Incredible People)
2. 創投檢視創始人的兩大特質：膽識(Courage)、天賦(Genius)。膽識，指的是在逆境中也不屈服、有成功的決心，並願意從錯誤中學習；天賦，指的是人天生的思考方式。
3. 創投檢視募資簡報(Pitch)的三大重點：簡潔(Succinct)、合乎邏輯(Logical)、引人入勝(Compelling)。可以完全透過募資簡報理解你的理念、藍圖、以及商業想法。

希望透過這篇文章，能夠讓大家換位檢視身為創業者的自己，以提升自己在創業路的成功率。

Years ago we tested Jun on his ability to tell the difference between "L" and "R" sounds, which was rather difficult for him! The Japanese language only has the "R" sound, which actually ends up somewhere in between an American English "R" and "L". This makes differentiating "R's" and "L's" one of the most difficult parts of learning English for a native Japanese speaker. Years ago, even sounding nearly fluent in English, it was quite difficult for Jun! But has he gotten better at it since??? MAYBE! Time for a test!
