Tests Are Not THAT important

As many of you know, I was rejected by every dental school in the country at least once, three years in a row.

Why?

Because I didn't do that well on a few sections of the Dental Aptitude Test...What is on the test? Dentistry????

No, math and English.

And what does any of that have to do with being a dentist???

NOT A DAMN THING!!!!

I would like to suggest that you see a video about taking tests by Jay Shetty at

Just a Thought

14 Days ago Susan and I were sitting at a light  on Broadway and our car  was struck from behind  crushing the passenger side rear panel.

Fortunately we were not injured....at all...nothing. In fact, Susan turned to me and said, "What was that?" And I responded that someone just hit us from behind.

No injuries, no whiplash...How is that possible?

The only thing that I care about when buying a car is the safety features..Not the color of the car or the seats or the radio... Only safety. And unlike most people, I am willing to pay to add ALL the safety features to the car including the self stopping feature.

So what features prevented us from being hurt?

1. Surround the car cameras and radar
2. Pre-tensioning seatbelts that automatically tighten when the car senses an impending crash
3. A headrest that automatically extends 5 inches to meet the back of the head to prevent whiplash

I implore you to pay attention to safety features on a new car and be willing to add these features if the car you want does not have them.

This is like selecting a really good physician or dentist to take care of  you...It will probably save your life somewhere down the road.
