class="dark-link perm_post"> mbadala, na naona mengi hayo. Kwa hiyo ikiwa unapoanza na Nguzo hiyo, na si vigumu kufanya katika dawa, basi halisi kila siku ni siku nzuri. Je, huwezije kuleta bora kwako?</p><p> <b>Bw. Feineh:</b> Na swali la mwisho nililo nalo hapa ni kutoka kwa kijana ambaye alisoma shule ya ushindani huko Palo Alto ...</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> ... na kujikuta akihangaika kuhoji mafanikio yanafananaje. "Ninahisi kama nina mifano michache ya kuigwa. Hata ninyi watatu mna taaluma zenye mafanikio ambazo ziligunduliwa katika utangulizi wenu." Na mtu huyu ana hamu ya kusikia mawazo yako kuhusu taaluma, ujenzi wa ushauri, jinsi ya kuunda baadhi ya mabomba haya, na hatua ya mwisho ya moja kwa moja ya kuwasaidia wanafunzi kupanua baadhi ya fursa zao.</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Swali hili tunalisikia sana kutoka kwa watoto. Kuna majibu kadhaa tofauti. Moja ni kwamba watu hudhani kwamba kuna njia iliyonyooka na nyembamba, ambayo nilijua nilipokuwa na umri wa miaka 18 kwamba ningekuwa nimeketi hapa juu leo. Na naweza kukuambia, sivyo kabisa. Sikufikiria hata kuwa nilipaswa kuwa hapa na mtu huyu, hata hivyo, sasa. Kwa hivyo nadhani wazo la njia iliyonyooka na nyembamba limepitwa na wakati, na kama mtu mchanga - kwa hivyo sehemu ya hii ni, gamba lako la mbele - kuingia katika upande wa matibabu - halijakuzwa kikamilifu. Na gamba la mbele ndilo linalokuruhusu kuona na kupanga mapema. Kwa hivyo, kichwani mwako unafikiri ni lazima ufahamu yote, na unafikiri ni ya mstari sana - pata alama, ingia chuo kikuu, nenda shule ya kuhitimu, uwe na taaluma, pata pesa. Hayo yamesemwa tena na tena na tena kwetu.</p><p> Na tunachojaribu kusema ni kwamba, hujui maisha yako yataelekea wapi, na kwa hivyo, lazima uwe wazi kwa uwezekano. Tafuta washauri wengi tofauti. Chukua madarasa mengi tofauti na mambo ambayo yanasisimua. Fuatilia mambo yanayokuletea furaha kwa sababu hutawahi kujua. Nilipaswa kuwa mwandishi wa habari, na haikutokea, kwa sababu nyingi, na nikaanguka katika elimu na kuipenda. Na kisha sikuchukua njia ya kawaida kwa profesa. Ninamtazama Deborah Stipek kwenye hadhira kwa sababu aliendelea kuniambia, "Njoo, tufanye njia ya kawaida." Na nikasema, "Hapana, nataka kufanya kitu tofauti kidogo." Na hakika imelipwa. Lakini hakuna njia ningeweza kutabiri hii.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Hapana.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Kwa upande wangu, nilitoka kwenye kinu cha dawa wakati fulani kwa sababu niliguswa sana na uzoefu wa VVU wakati huo ambapo hakukuwa na matibabu, na ilikuwa tu -</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Ulikuwa Tennessee, katika eneo la mashambani.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Nilikuwa Tennessee katika mji mdogo. Na kwa kweli nilifikiri kwamba ikiwa singefanya jambo fulani, ningekufa. Ningekufa tu kutokana na mkazo wake. Nilitaka kufanya utunzaji wa VVU maisha yangu yote, na bado niko, na watu wengi wameanguka njiani. Lakini nilijua nitalazimika kuchukua mapumziko, na niliamua kwenda kwenye Warsha ya Waandishi wa Iowa na kuchukua pesa za kustaafu na 401(k) yangu na vitu hivyo vyote. Na ilizingatiwa kujiua kitaaluma, kujiua kitaaluma, lakini nilihisi kwamba nilipaswa kuifanya.</p><p> Na kisha nilikuwa namaliza hapo na tayari kuchukua kazi ya kitaaluma, na nilikuwa na fursa nzuri sana za kukaa katika Chuo Kikuu cha Iowa, shule kubwa, au Chuo Kikuu cha North Carolina kilikuwa kinataka kuniajiri, na ghafla nikagundua, singewahi kuandika katika maeneo hayo kwa sababu ningekuwa na shughuli nyingi kujaribu kupata ruzuku za NIH na hayo yote. Na hivyo, nilikwenda Texas Tech El Paso. Ningeweza kurusha jiwe nje ya dirisha langu na kumpiga mtu huko Juárez, Mexico. Na bado, ilikuwa mahali pazuri zaidi pa kufanya mazoezi, kwa sababu katika hospitali hiyo ya kata tuliona kila kitu kwa vijana, bila kutibiwa; ilionekana kuwa ya maana sana, lakini jioni zangu zilikuwa zangu kuandika na kukuza sauti yangu, na wikendi yangu ilikuwa yangu. Na mwishowe niliajiriwa kwa Stanford kwa njia ya kuzunguka, haswa kwa sababu hiyo. Na kama ningekuja Stanford hapo kwanza, karibu sasa hivi ningekuwa nikipoteza umiliki wangu na kuelekea El Paso, Texas, pengine.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Kwa hivyo nawaambia wanafunzi kuwa maisha ni ya kejeli. Kamwe haitakuwa njia uliyopanga, na ikiwa hauko wazi kwa kile ambacho moyo wako unakuambia, ndani ya sababu, basi labda hautakuwa na furaha kama hiyo.</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Na ninataka tu kuongeza, kwa sababu kuna utafiti wa kuunga mkono jambo hili, kwamba kwa kweli tulitumia mwaka mmoja katika Mafanikio ya Changamoto, tukiangalia matokeo ya chuo kikuu na kuuliza, je, haijalishi unaenda chuo gani? Tuliiangalia katika masuala ya fedha; tuliiangalia katika suala la kuridhika kwa kazi; tuliiangalia kwa hali ya ustawi. Na utafiti wote unaonyesha, kwa sehemu kubwa, haijalishi. Ikiwa wewe ni mtu ambaye anatoka katika hali duni sana, mtu wa rangi, inaweza kuwa muhimu zaidi katika suala la fedha kuliko kwa wengine, lakini kwa wengi, ikiwa unaenda chuo kikuu cha jamii au unaenda Stanford, kwa suala la kuridhika kwa kazi katika siku zijazo, katika suala la ustawi, na katika suala la, kweli, fedha, sio jina. Kwa hivyo, hiyo inapaswa kukuletea -</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Ni nini kinacholeta tofauti, basi, kama si…?</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Kwa kweli ni kiwango cha uchumba unacholeta chuoni. Na itakuwa sawa katika sehemu ya kazi na sawa katika hospitali.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Na nadhani, unaposema uchumba, huongelei tu kama utapata alama nzuri.</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Hapana, ni kinyume chake. Baadhi ya watu wako wanaoshiriki sana hupata alama mbaya zaidi kwa sababu wako huko nje wakizingatia sana kile wanachotaka kufanya, na hawafuati sheria, na mwalimu hajui la kufanya na hilo. Hapana.</p><p> Ni uchumba, ambapo unasisimka na shauku kuhusu kile unachofanya, unahusika katika jumuiya yako - inageuka kuwa hiyo ni muhimu sana; inaweza kuwa ligi ya bowling au jumuiya ya kanisa au chochote, lakini unahisi sehemu ya mahali hapo - una washauri; na unatafuta njia za kutumia yale unayojifunza. Kwa hivyo, mafunzo ya ndani au utafiti wa kina - ni kweli, kutoa programu-jalizi isiyo na aibu kwa Kituo cha Haas, kile ambacho Kituo cha Haas hufanya [ <em>kinacheka</em> ] kwa watoto hapa Stanford.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Ninataka kusema kwamba kitu ambacho kilikuja katika baadhi ya mazungumzo ambayo nimekuwa nayo katika Kituo cha Haas katika wiki kadhaa zilizopita ni njia yenye matatizo tunayofanya kazi na hadithi ya mafanikio, ambayo mara nyingi inahusu mtu ambaye anatoka katika hali isiyotarajiwa - kwa kweli, jinsi masimulizi yanavyoenda, mahali duni - hiyo inadhaniwa, mahali pasipo na fursa, na hatukuwa na mafanikio yoyote, na hatukuwa na mafanikio yoyote. kufafanua mafanikio. Na pia, mara nyingi ni kuhusu kuondoka mahali walipotoka. Na hatuna budi kujifunza jinsi ya kuona na kuheshimu aina zote za maisha yenye mafanikio ambayo hayapimwi katika cheo cha kazi.</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Ni muhimu sana. Ninasikia haya kutoka kwa - Ninafanya kazi na wanafunzi wengi ambao wanajaribu kubaini wakati wa kupata watoto na ukiondoka mahali pa kazi ili kupata watoto na - "Basi mimi ni 'mama' tu." Na wazo hili kwamba wewe ni "tu" mama - kwanza kabisa, ni kazi ngumu zaidi utakayofanya; ni ngumu zaidi kuliko kazi nyingine yoyote ambayo nimewahi kuwa nayo, ni kuwa mama. Ninaipenda, lakini ni ngumu sana.<br /> Na wazo hilo, nadhani ...</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Na inatia uhai kihalisi.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Ni kweli yenye kutoa uhai. Na, nadhani, kuongeza kufikiri, hisia, huruma, mtu anayeongozwa na maadili kwa ulimwengu huu pengine ni jambo muhimu zaidi unaweza kufanya. Au kusaidia wengine, ikiwa wewe - sisemi kila mtu lazima awe mzazi, lakini kuwasaidia wengine kuishi kwa njia ambayo watu wanapaswa kuishi. Na hiyo haina uhusiano wowote na kile unachofanya kwa riziki.</p><p> [ <em>Muziki: "Intermodal Blues" na Michael Rossetto</em> ]</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Mimi ni Krista Tippett, na hii ni <em>On Being</em> . Leo na mtafiti wa Stanford Denise Pope na daktari na mwandishi Abraham Verghese.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Kwa hivyo ninachohisi kuwa hii inazunguka kwa kweli ni wazo la wito. Ni wito wetu kama wanadamu, sio tu wito wetu kwa taaluma. Na kwa kweli, nadhani, ukweli wa maisha ni kwamba una miito mingi katika maisha. Na hata ikiwa una kazi unayoitaka, kuna nyakati ambapo malezi yako ya uzazi au uhusiano wako au malezi yako kwa mzazi ni sehemu muhimu sana ya wito wako kuliko kazi unayofanya.</p><p> Na pia wazo hili kwamba kufanya kazi ili kuweka chakula kwenye meza yako na kulisha familia yako ni kazi ya maana. Ninahisi kama tukikuza mtazamo mpana zaidi wa wito ambao unapatana na kile tunachojifunza na hasa kile tunachotamani, wito huo, kutakuwa na mambo mengi. Itakuwa ni kazi tunayofanya, ambayo wakati fulani inaweza kutufafanua na, wakati fulani, haiwezi; itakuwa watu tunaowapenda; itakuwa watu tunaowatumikia; itakuwa jumuiya yetu. Ninahisi kama hata hiyo inaweza kuwa mabadiliko ya kiakili, kama kuchukua placebo kama nguvu kuu, badala ya ujanja.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Naam, ninapenda wazo la wito. Kwa wazi, nadhani hivyo ndivyo nilivyohisi kuhusu dawa; kweli ulikuwa wito. Sikuweza kufikiria kitu cha kimapenzi zaidi kuliko hicho. Na wakati mwingine ninahisi kuwa kuna maamuzi mengi ya mamluki yaliyofanywa ili kuingia kwenye dawa, si lazima kwa sababu ya wito. Lakini hiyo ni nadra. Watu wengi wanahisi wito. Lakini lazima niseme, nadhani milenia wako tayari zaidi kufuata wito wao.</p><p> Nina mtoto wa kiume ambaye ni mwanamuziki huko Santa Fe. Ana umri wa miaka 32. Yeye ni kweli, ni barista.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Nina moja kati ya hizo pia.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Lakini yeye ni mwanamuziki, na muziki wake ni mzuri. Lakini ninaogopa kwa ajili yake. Nilikuwa na wasiwasi wote wa jadi juu yake. Na nilifanya mazungumzo naye, na alinizuia tu kwa kitu alichosema. Alisema, "Baba, nataka tu kufanya vya kutosha" - kwa sababu ningesema, "Utafanyaje wakati mkuu, na..." Anasema, "Baba, sihitaji kutafuta hilo. Ninataka tu kupata pesa za kutosha katika kufanya jambo hili ninalopenda kufanya." Namaanisha, ningeweza kusema nini zaidi kuhusu hilo? Kwa hiyo nikasema, “Nenda uichukue. Natumaini unaweza kulipia bima ya gari lako, lakini vinginevyo ni…”</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Na nadhani kwamba ulimwengu unahitaji zaidi ya hayo, labda.</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Na tunasikia watoto wakisema, "Sina mapenzi. Nina umri wa miaka minane; shauku yangu ni nini? Nina umri wa miaka 12..."</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Na "Lazima niiandike kwenye ombi langu la chuo kikuu, shauku yangu ni nini." Na wewe waambie tu, "Itakuja." Na inatokana na kuwa wazi na kutaka kujua na kuchukua hatari na kukutana na wengine.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Kuingia katika sehemu zisizostarehe ambapo unaweza kushindwa.</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Sawa, lakini sitaki watu wakubaliane na jambo hili linaloitwa "wito" na kwamba unauhitaji ukiwa na umri wa miaka minane, kwa sababu una hatari - chochote utakachosema ni "hilo," kila mtu anataka "hilo." Itakuja. Itakuja.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Kwa hivyo nikiuliza kila mmoja wenu, sio "Unafanya nini," lakini ni nini - unaelewaje wito wako, au wito wako, kwa wakati huu wa wakati, utaanzaje kujibu swali hilo?</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Hili limekuwa nami siku zote - kwa kweli, kutoka kwa hadithi ya babu yangu - ambayo ni, mimi ni Myahudi, na kuna dhana inayoitwa tikkun olam, ambayo inamaanisha "kutengeneza ulimwengu." Na sheria ni kwamba sio lazima urekebishe, na sio lazima uifanye peke yako, lakini lazima ujaribu. Na hivyo ndivyo nilivyoona kila sehemu ya maisha yangu, ni kufanya kitu kujaribu na kuifanya dunia kuwa mahali pazuri zaidi. Na hili ndilo jambo lililotokea kunishika, na nilianguka ndani yake wakati nilipoandika kitabu. Sikujua kuwa kitabu hiki kingenianzisha katika njia hii ili kuwa na shirika hili lisilo la faida na kufanya mambo haya yote. Lakini inatimia kusaidia watu na kuhisi kama mimi ni sehemu ya kutengeneza ulimwengu.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Sikuzote ninalazimika kujibana kwamba kweli niko Stanford; Kwa kweli nimeketi hapa, nikizungumza na wewe, na watu wanaotaka kutusikiliza - kwangu, hata hivyo. Najua wanataka kukusikiliza. Nimepata barua pepe nyingi kuhusu…</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Na pia ninahisi kama, kama mwandishi, nina anasa kubwa ya kuwa na kazi ya siku nzuri zaidi ulimwenguni. Na hivyo, bila kujali nini kinatokea kwangu, napenda kuona wagonjwa; kwa kweli ni wito, na ninaweza kufanya hivyo popote duniani, na haijalishi ni kiasi gani ninacholipwa, mradi tu ninaweza kujilisha mimi na watoto wangu, ambao sasa wako sawa. Kwa hivyo, kwa maana hiyo, nadhani mwanangu alikuwa sahihi: kupata kitu hiki ambacho kitakuwa kitu unachopenda na ambacho kitakulipa bili zako, huo ndio wito.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Au, anapofanya hivyo, unapata kitu unachokipenda, na unapata kitu kinacholipa bili zako, na ... Abraham, kuna shairi la ee cummings ambalo umenukuu. Je! unajua ninazungumza nini? Shairi la moyo?</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> “Nimebeba moyo wako.” Ninafanya, kwa kweli.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Nilijiuliza, je, unaweza kuzungumza kuhusu kwa nini unajali kuhusu hili sana? Ninahisi kama inahusiana na kile ambacho tumekuwa tukizungumza, hata jinsi tunavyotumia lugha ya moyo kila wakati kama sitiari kwa vitu hivi vingine vyote ambavyo havipimiki - katika miili yetu tumejua, na sasa, kwa kweli, sayansi inatuonyesha mwingiliano huu. sijui. Je, unafikiri hii inalingana na kile ambacho tumekuwa tukizungumza?</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Nadhani inafanya hivyo. Siku zote nimelipenda shairi hilo. Kwa wale ambao hamjui, ni "nimebeba moyo wako" -</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Ninayo. Nilikuwa nakuomba uisome. Je, unaweza kuzungumza juu ya kile unachopenda kuhusu hilo?</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Siwezi kukariri, kama ndivyo ungesema.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Unaweza?</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Ninaweza kuisoma.</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Unaweza kukariri, pia.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Sitaki kujikwaa, nikikariri.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Nilikuchapishia.</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> “Ninabeba moyo wako pamoja nami (ninaubeba ndani/moyo wangu)”</p><p> [ <em>machozi</em> ]</p><p> Je, unaweza kuisoma?</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>Bi. Papa:</b> Utanifanya nilie.</p><p> "Ninabeba moyo wako na mimi (ninaubeba / moyo wangu) sijawahi bila (popote / ninaenda unaenda, mpendwa wangu; na chochote kinachofanywa / ni mimi tu unafanya, mpenzi wangu) / i hofu / hakuna hatima (kwa wewe ni hatima yangu, mpendwa wangu) nataka / hakuna dunia (kwa uzuri wewe ni ulimwengu wangu, kweli yangu) / na ni wewe / chochote unachotaka / jua huwa kila wakati / jua huwa kila wakati. Siri ya ndani kabisa hakuna aijuaye/ (hapa ndio mzizi wa mzizi na chipukizi la chipukizi/ na anga la / anga la mti liitwalo uhai; ambalo hukua / juu kuliko roho inavyoweza kutumaini au akili inaweza kujificha) / na hii ndiyo ajabu inayotenganisha nyota / ninaibeba moyo wako (ninaibeba moyoni mwangu)</p><p> <b>Dk. Verghese:</b> Kupendeza; kupendeza. Nimekuwa nikipenda shairi hili kila wakati, na niliombwa kuhutubia, na bosi wangu hapa Stanford, ambaye ni daktari wa magonjwa ya moyo - sikuweza kusema hapana - kuzungumza katika kongamano hili kubwa la magonjwa ya moyo katika Ukumbi wa Mikutano wa San Diego. Wataalamu wa magonjwa ya moyo elfu kumi wakielea, na nilikuwa naenda kutoa maelezo ya ufunguzi. Sikuwa na slaidi; Sikuwa na molekuli; Sikuwa na katheta. Na niliamua kwamba ningefanya mada hii kwa sababu wangetumia siku tano kuzungumza juu ya moyo na sio kukiri moyo huu wa mfano. Na nadhani kulikuwa na ukimya wa pin-tone kwa sababu kila mtu alikuwa akingojea kuona jinsi nitakavyolipua mada hii haraka. [ <em>anacheka</em> ]</p><p> Lakini nadhani iligonga sauti. Iligonga mwamba. Mtu anayekuja kukuona, kama William Carlos Williams alivyosema miaka mingi iliyopita, yeye sio ini au moyo au figo. Wao ni mvulana mmoja au gal na shida ya kipekee. Na nukuu yake ya ajabu ilikuwa kwamba daktari aliye mstari wa mbele lazima aanguke kwenye hisia zake za ubinafsi. Hicho ndicho chombo chako. Chombo chako sio EKG au stethoscope; ni hisia zako za ubinafsi, pamoja na maarifa yote ya kisayansi na ufahamu wa kibinadamu unaoleta.</p><p> Na ninapenda tu shairi hilo, na bosi wangu - sidhani kama atajali kuambia hili, kwa sababu nilichapisha hii - ana binti mapacha, na wote wawili wamechora maneno "i bear your heart" kwenye ubavu wao wa sita kila upande ili - haijalishi ni ubavu wa sita, lakini ni ubavu wa sita.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Na niliguswa sana na hilo. Kwa hiyo wametengana sasa; wanaishi katika miji tofauti, lakini "nimebeba moyo wako."</p><p> <b>Bi. Tippett:</b> Mahali fulani, ulikuwa unazungumza juu yake - wacha nipate hii katika maandishi yangu - ulikuwa unazungumza juu ya uwepo - ukifikiria juu ya uwepo. Na ulisema, "Ugonjwa ni rahisi kutambua kuliko mtu aliye na ugonjwa," ambayo inahusiana na kile ulichosema hivi punde. Na ninahisi kama hiyo inaweza kupitishwa kwa mikutano yetu yote na kila mmoja katika nafasi zetu zote, haswa katika wakati kama huu, na nadhani hiyo inafaa sana kwa kuitishwa hapa na Kituo cha Haas cha Utumishi wa Umma. Kwa hivyo kile ambacho tumezunguka hadi hapa ni uwepo wetu kwetu na jinsi hiyo ni isiyoweza kutenganishwa - kuwa na maana, kuunganishwa kabisa na uwepo wetu kwa wengine. Na hilo litatubadilisha, na hilo litatengeneza njia.</p><p> Kwa hiyo, asanteni nyote kwa kuja. Asanteni sana nyie wawili kwa hekima zenu. Muwe na jioni njema.</p><p> [ <em>makofi</em> ]</p><p> [ <em>Muziki: “Mwezi juu ya nchi” na Dirty Three</em> ]</p><p> <b>Bi.
