"Health is not valued till sickness comes"


I would like to start this week's blog by talking about this exercise we did in class to learn more about segmentation. My professor, Dr. Engelberg had the class break into two groups based on health being on top of our priority list. Well, out of approximately 15 students, only four including myself considered our health as a priority on our list. I was surprised and amazed how one can easily forget that the most important thing in life is one's health. I admit that I also take my health for granted at times but having gone through family ailments; I keep reminding and appreciating my health as well as my families.

I was watching this program on TV that was talking about a girl and her life story. They were showing her hobbies in life in which one of them was cheerleading. This girl was very active, enthusiastic, bright, beautiful, and full of spirit and love for life. Then, came the day when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease and her life was changed overnight. The show went on talking about how this heartbreaking news affected not only her life but her family's as well. So, my message to everyone is to appreciate your health because without it life is not as enjoyable. No matter how challenging life gets, we shouldn't forget how our health is the most important thing and should be on top of our priority list. My wish for everyone in this world is to be healthy and thus happy!

Funny you should mention this... Last night, I had to take a friend of mine to ER and stayed with him throughout the whole thing. I saw so many people coming in needing treatment for all kinds of diseases and complications emergency or not. Something you'd only get to see up-close if you have to visit a hospital. I thought to myself maybe it's not a bad idea to visit a hospital once in awhile just to be able to appreciate the priceless gift of being healthy.
