After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward.

He woke up one morning realizing that after all the failure and pains he has gone through, he still want to become the a doctor. He carries with himself a positive attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didnt only improved himself, but also the life of the people around him and the quality of life.
Did he succeed? Needless to say, he became the best damn doctor his country has ever known. So, when does self improvement become synonymous with success? Where do we start?
