Doctors should always keep a grateful heart

我们每年联系全中国上百座城市5000多位医生进行电话沟通，我们每年跟1000位医生面对面的深度沟通。我们每年会精挑细选50个医生到德国去攻读临床医学MD或者PhD的博士。这50个医生，我们会每半年为他进行评级打分：能力很强，有感恩之心的是A类医生；能力不强，有感恩之心的是B类医生；能力很强，没有感恩之心的是C类医生；能力不强，又没有感恩之心的是D类医生。5年时间，我们挑选了190个优秀的医生到德国攻读博士，85%的医生是A类医生，有10个医生是D类医生，有两个医生是C类医生。即使你读到了博士、博士后 ，你离成功也差了十万八千里。在你的职业生涯当中，你需要得到很多的贵人来支持你，来帮助你。你以为到了德国读了博士，你就成功了，并不懂得去感恩别人，你的这种行为你周围很多人会感受到的。以后很多人就不会再来帮助你、支持你，你很难在职业生涯方面取得成功。医疗是一个很特殊的行业，不是你有能力就可以取得成功的。你需要贵人的帮助，需要贵人把资源给到你，需要贵人把机会来给到你。如果你不是一个感恩之心的人，人家有这种资源这种机会，他们就会首选给到那些懂得感恩之心的人，你就彻底丧失了这种机会。我们5年时间专访了30位世界上最伟大的医生。他们获得的每一次成功不是他们的能力。他们获得的每一次成功都是有贵人在给他们托底，都是有贵人在给他们提供了帮助。昨天我们收到了首都医科大学刘佳医生的在德国攻读临床医学MD博士的工资合同。这份合同是哥廷根大学医疗中心心脑中心主任Bähr教授为她在医院申请的。这份合同是每月哥廷根大学医疗中心给刘佳医生在德国读博三年每月发1500欧元的工资。这份工资还包括了她的保险和各种的福利。更令人敬佩的是，Bähr教授在访问无锡市人民医院期间，在繁忙的工作之余，还抽空帮刘医生修改文章。Bähr教授是德国国家科学院的院士，他培养了全德国两个最著名的医生：一个是德国国家科学院院士，海德堡医学院副院长，海德堡大学医院头颈中心院长Wick教授，另一个是汉堡大学附属医院院长Gerloff教授。这两个人都是Bähr教授的学生，所以读谁的博士非常非常的重要。因为刘医生就是一个能力很强，又有感恩之心的人。所以她得到了这一次特别的机会，这一次的机会不仅仅是1500欧元的工资，是她可以拿到进入顶级学术圈儿的入场券，是她得到了德国国家科学院院士认可，大家都愿意为了她出手来帮助她的一个结果。如果她不是一个懂得感恩之心的人，那我们肯定不会去帮她做这么难的事，因为我们帮你干嘛呢？我帮了你，我连得到感谢，得到尊重这种心都没有，我为什么要把我的资源、我的关系去给到你呢？其实，医疗行业懂得感恩之心的医生是不多的，他们都喜欢把自己的获得、自己的成功当做自己的能力，忽略了贵人对她们的帮助。他们花了太多的时间学习英语，学习技术，学习临床，却忽略了人情世故，忽略了在这个世界上最重要的做人的标准。

Each year, we reach out to more than 5000 doctors across nearly a hundred of cities in China via telephone, engage in face-to-face deep conversation with around 1000 doctors, and carefully select 50 doctors to pursue their MD or PHD degree in Germany. We conduct an evaluation and rating every six months. Doctors who are highly capable and grateful are classified as Class A; class B for doctors who are less competent but have a grateful heart; class C for doctors who are highly capable but lack gratitude; and those who are neither capable nor grateful fall into Class D. Over the last five years, we have selected 190 excellent doctors to pursue their doctoral degree in Germany, among which, 85% of doctors are rated as class A, ten doctors are in class D, two are in class C. Even though you have finished your doctoral degree or postdoctoral research, you are still thousands miles away from true success. Throughout your career, you need a lot of life changers to support and help you. If you believe that studying for a doctoral degree in Germany equals success and forget to be grateful to people who helped you, people around you will sense it. And gradually, fewer and fewer people will no longer come to help or support you, making true success in your career almost impossible. Medicine is a special profession. Skill alone is not enough to bring success. You need help, resources, and opportunities from your life changers, who prioritize to give such things to person who has a grateful heart. If you don’t have it, then you will lose it. We’ve interviewed with 30 of the greatest doctors in the world over the past five years. Each of their achievements was never just about ability. Every success they achieved is underpinned by the life changers who offered them support and guidance. Yesterday, we received the employment contract for LIU Jia from Capital Medical University, who will pursue her MD degree in Germany. This contract was applied by Prof. Bähr, the Director of the Heart & Brain Center Göttingen (HBCG) of University Medical Center Göttingen, which offers a monthly salary of €1,500 throughout her three-year doctoral study, along with insurance and full benefits. Even more impressively, during his visit to Wuxi People’s Hospital, Prof. Bähr took time out of his busy schedule to revise Liu Jia’s manuscript. Prof. Bähr is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. He has mentored two of the most renowned doctors in all of Germany: one is Prof. Wick, a Member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, Vice Dean of the Medical Faculty Heidelberg of Heidelberg University, Chariman of the Head Hospital of Heidelberg University Hospital; the other is Prof. Gerloff, Medical Director of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. Both of them were Prof. Bähr’s mentees. That’s why it is crucial to choose the right one as your doctoral supervisor. Liu Jia is exactly the kind of person who is both capable and grateful. That’s why she earned this extraordinary opportunity. This is not just about a €1,500 monthly salary, but also her ticket to the top academic circles, the symbol of recognition from a member of German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, and a result of the goodwill she inspires in others. Had she not been a person of gratitude, we would never have gone through so much effort to secure this for her. After all, why should I help someone who doesn’t even know how to say thank you? Why would I offer my own network and resources to someone who lacks gratitude? In fact, there are not many doctors with grateful hearts in the medical field. Most of them tend to attribute their success solely to` their own capability and ignore the help they’ve received from their life changers. They spend too much time learning English and clinical techniques, but neglect the art of human connection, as well as the most important standard for being a person in this world.
