Use what you have, make people smile

Even in this time of economic uncertainty, professional careers in fields like law and medicine offer opportunities that the vast majority of humans on this small planet can never hope to enjoy. And more than money, they offer power - the power of knowledge - and the prestige that accompanies society’s realization of that power.

With power comes responsibility, and in the words of the video’s uploader, “When we use what we have been given (whatever that might be) to make a positive change for our world, thats when life make[s] sense.” Watch this, and remember that what you have achieved is built upon more than your hard work and talent; it is built upon very rare opportunities that most in this world will never know. Give back.
