The medical community has always promoted doctors as being the poster children for their organization. Doctors are paid more, doctors know all the answers, doctors go to school for ever, doctors save lives. Well I think that's a crock of malarkey. Certainly doctors are great; they have a vast array of skills, which allows the prevention of death and disease. But I think that ... nurses are the true heroes of the medical profession.

Three cannibals were hired as orderlies in a busy hospital. During orientation, the director of human resources said, " You're all part of out team now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat. So please don't trouble any of the other employees." The cannibals promised.

Four weeks later the boss returned and said, "You're all working very hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. However, one of our nurses has disappeared. Do you know what happened to her?" The cannibals all shook their heads no.

After the director left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, "Which of you idiots ate the nurse?" A hand rose hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals replied, "You fool! For four weeks we've been eating doctors and hospital administrators and no one noticed a thing, then you had to go and eat a nurse!"

When does a job feel meaningful? Whenever it allows us to generate delight or reduce suffering in others. Though we are often taught to think of ourselves as inherently selfish, the longing to act meaningfully in our work seems just as stubborn a part of out make-up as our appetite for status or money. It is because we are meaning-focused animals rather than simply materialistic ones that we can reasonably contemplate surrendering security for a career helping to bring drinking water Malawi or might quit a job in consumer goods for one in cardiac nursing, aware that when it comes to improving the human condition, a well-controlled defibrillator has the edge over even the finest biscuit.
