"Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot." Clarence Thomas

Actually it's quiet true.If you are extremely smart you will get lots of opportunities for your future.However, if you do not have a good attitude you will never succeed in life even if you study well.If you are not that good in your studies but show good attitude and never give up, then you will get flows of opportunity for your future.This might also apply while entering a secondary school.If you want to go to a prestigious school like Raffles Institution,the school will not only look at your results but also your attitude towards learning new stuff.

Same for applying a new job.If you want to become a doctor,your education is important but the most important thing is the will to save the lives of the patients.Imagine if the whole world was filled with lazy doctors.If a pandemic like H1N1 breaks out, the doctors would not bother to save the suffering patients and lie to the patients relatives.Such things do happen in some countries such as India and other poor countries.

Even my family suffered this.On the day of Christmas,2007 my uncle in India was riding his motorbike when suddenly,a lorry rammed him.He was admitted to hospital immediately.My mother flew to India to comfort by aunt.The doctors examined him and said that he was in a coma.After hearing this we were really worried.After a few days,the doctors said that my uncle was fine and breathing well but actually he was still battling for his life.On New Year's Day eve my uncle passed away leaving behind his two young teenaged daughters.We were shocked as the doctors said that he would make a full recovery.

I really hope that there would soon be doctors with a good attitude and work not only to earn money but to help the society.So what Clarence Thomas made sense.
