надія та підбадьорення- The Path to KOLs--Ukranian Episode: Шлях до KOL: Наука, Лідерство та Сила Малих Кроків (The Path to KOL: Science, Leadership, Faith and the Power of Small Steps)--До кожного, хто переживає складний період: пам’ятайте, що тіні є доказом існування світла. Коли шлях уперед незрозумілий, а тягар світу здається надто важким, тримайтеся за тиху силу, яка живе всередині вас.Як нагадував доктор Мартін Лютер Кінг, молодший: «Віра — це зробити перший крок, навіть коли ви не бачите всієї сходової клітки». Ваша подорож не полягає в тому, щоб бачити кінець від самого початку, а в тому, щоб мужньо зробити наступний крок. У хвилини випробувань ми часто знаходимо найбільші можливості.Ласкаво просимо до “Шляху до KOL” — студентського подкасту, що надихає студентів клінічної фармації, майбутніх резидентів та молодих клініцистів. У кожному епізоді беруть участь світові лідери думок — канцлер Ґері Мей; доктор Роберт Ленґер; Ґреґ Цукерман (The Wall Street Journal); Кайл Вумн (Forbes 30 Under 30) — які діляться своїми поглядами на проривні дослідження, лідерство, інновації та кар’єри у фармації, орієнтовані на цінності й мету.Нехай виклики, з якими ви стикаєтесь, зміцнюють вашу рішучість. Як писав святий Августин: «У надії є дві прекрасні дочки: їхні імена — Гнів і Відвага. Гнів на те, що є, і Відвага, щоб зробити так, аби все не залишалось таким самим». Використовуйте цю відвагу не в одному великому жесті, а в малих, послідовних діях, які ви робите щодня. Мати Тереза навчала простої, але глибокої істини: «Ми не можемо робити великих справ, лише маленькі справи з великою любов’ю».Відмова від відповідальності: цей контент не є медичною порадою чи рекомендаціями. Звертайтеся за порадами до сертифікованих медичних фахівців на рівні ради, штату чи місцевих органів. Ми відмовляємося від будь-якої відповідальності за будь-які втрати.----English:To anyone navigating a difficult season, remember that the shadows are proof of the light. When the path ahead is unclear and the weight of the world feels heavy, hold on to the quiet strength that resides within you.As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded us, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Your journey is not about seeing the end from the beginning, but about bravely taking that next step. In moments of trial, we often find our greatest opportunities.

As St. Augustine wrote, "Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." Use that courage not in one grand gesture, but in the small, consistent actions you take every single day.
