Tired of being clear that a doctor leaves when one has a headache, stomach, fever, breaks an arm or makes a cut
Tired of being clear that you have to learn to do a job. You have to learn English, math, language and anything technical that requires what we do.
Tired that we all know what to do, but that nobody knows what to do with their thoughts and emotions. It has been years since we know that those who best manage their emotions succeed, not those who know the most, those who have "soft" skills. The leaders and not those who direct or command.
Tired that laboratories can contribute to the education of doctors as long as the skills are technical but not when it comes to teaching them to manage their stress or that of their patients, to empathize and communicate better, to achieve greater adherence to treatment by acquiring soft skills".
Are you soft? And a horn. If we know that with the rapidity of the changes that are coming, what matters is our ability to be resilient, to learn fast, to be flexible, to manage our thoughts well, to be aware of the way in which we attribute reasons to the behaviors of the others, how we face loneliness or those around us when they don't do (we don't do) what we always want them to do and want us to do ... If we know, what are we waiting to help
Tired of our children learning, from a young age, to add and put band-aids (which is fine) but do not know what to do when they fail, feel harassed, alone or defeated. Because nobody teaches us. Neither as children nor in the training we receive in our work.
Now that the machines are going to do a lot of things, now is the time to prioritize the LEARNING of these skills that one day we will understand that they are not so soft. A better world will come when we learn to be compassionate, to understand and manage our emotions and those of others, our thoughts and understand those that are different.
What are we waiting to introduce more than technical learning in schools and offices, in newspapers and on television.
What are we waiting for?
