Patch Adams

Patch Adams
Academy Award® -winner Robin Williams is Patch Adams - a doctor who believes in laughter as medicine and will do just about anything to make his patients laugh - even if it means risking his own career. Based on a true story, Patch Adams combines sidesplitting humor with an inspiring story that transcends the traditional comedy.

After watching the movie quite a few times, this is because they kept showing it on HBO, i was kinda influenced by Patch's theology about laughter, and influencing people.

One of the things he said during the movie
" You treat the sickness, you win or lose. But you treat the person, I guaranttee you will win."

It kinda gave me the thought that it's not the length of time spent on earth, but the quality of time spent on earth that matters. Many times we are trying to extend the length of life, but not improving the quality of it. It kinda makes me wanna be a doc.. but at this time i dun think can be one liao ..

BUT ! I know that i can improve the quality of lives around me.. That why i am thinking of starting a project, and i name it the "Ben's Patch Project". In this project, i will create a website , putting up names of people whose lives i interact with and note them down. This will be done as soon as i am more free .. Well improving the quality of life around me, i guess would be making ppl happy .. help them relieve stress, share their sorrows.. help them with their problems .. and the list goes on .. i guess in summary is to help them become positive again .. hahaha

Well feel free to join me .. You can start one on your own too ..
