Here are some insightful quotes from Atul Gawande, a surgeon, writer, and public health researcher, known for his wisdom on medicine, life, and purpose:
1. **”Better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes a willingness to try.”**
2. **”We have two reasons to be interested in the control of death: to preserve life and to make dying less terrible.”**
3. **”Our job in medicine is to cultivate an ability to withstand uncertainty, to sustain the doubt that helps us stay humble and be open to learning.”**
4. **”The idea that everyone needs a coach is not true only for sports. But it is also true for life.”**
5. **”Life is meaningful because it is a story, and in stories, endings matter.”**
6. **”When you see things go wrong, it’s no use complaining about it. You have to do something about it. That is what it means to try to make a difference.”**
7. **”We always hope for the easy fix: the one simple change that will erase a problem in a stroke. But few things in life work this way. Instead, success requires making a hundred small steps go right.”**
These quotes reflect Gawande’s dedication to improvement, whether in healthcare or in life more broadly, and his belief in humility, perseverance, and the power of continuous effort.
