I meet many dentists who are dissatisfied or unhappy with the system or their working environment or the career that they’ve chosen or the path that they’ve taken, but the truth of the matter is that they designed and got exactly what they deserved.

If you don’t like it, change it. If you don’t change it, then like it.
