Dr. Majid Fotuhi

You can ask questions like, what would you do if people didn't pay you for your job?

What kind of job would you do that you would still do it and people didn't pay you?

I do these things if people didn't pay me.

I don't get any payment talking with you and I'm fine.

I'm enjoying it.

And so one way to find out, ask yourself, what would you do?

What would you still do if people didn't pay you for it?

And anything is to ask yourself,

What do you want people to say to you after you pass away in your eulogy?

In your memorial service, what do you want people to say about you?

Do you want to say he was a great physician, a great philanthropist, a great businessman, a great father?

What do you want people to say about you?

Because that really taps into

with deep values as to what things are important for you.

And there are other questions that once you answer the question, a picture emerges that yes, this is my sense of purpose.

And once that becomes clear, that becomes like a Northern light, that then you do things in line with it.

I think it's great that I have found my passion.

And have found what makes me excited and to do everything in line with the things that important to me.

I think is a gift to have had since I was a kid to like the brain and been teaching about it at Hopkins at Harvard and along the way.

So I feel fortunate to have had this for a long time and get the opportunity to be doing everything every day.
