“Some people learn. Some don’t. For the former, growing old is a joy. For the latter, it is hell.”I’ve seen both. In exam rooms, break rooms, ORs, and coaching sessions. One physician ages into something lighter—less defended, more present. Another hardens. Becomes brittle. And often angry. The difference isn’t intelligence or training. It’s not even temperament.

If you have been to the circus and toured the tent where the elephants rest and are fed, you will see that large, two-to-three-ton elephants are tethered to a small wooden stake with a small chain around the ankle of one of their hind legs. This tiny wooden stake driven into the ground could be pulled up in a nanosecond, and the elephant could run away. But the large elephants never pull on the stakes, and they rock back and forth peacefully, eating hay and drinking water.
