"You are up to date. Take my advice and try to keep it that way. It will be tough to do; make no mistake about it. The phone will ring and it will be the administrator talking about budgets. The doctors will come in, and they will want this bit of information and that. Then you will get the salesman. Until at the end of the day you will wonder what happened to it and what you have accomplished; what you have achieved. That is the way the next day can go, and the next, and the one after that. Until you find a year has slipped by, and another, and another. And then suddenly, one day, you will find everything you knew is out of date. That is when it is too late to change. Listen to an old man who is been through it all, who made the mistake of falling behind. Do not let it happen to you! Lock yourself in a closet if you have to! Get away from the phone and the files and paper, and read and learn and listen and keep up to date. Then they can never touch you, never say, He is finished, all washed up; he belongs to yesterday."
