What are you passionate about? My family and my occupation. Seems when looking back how fast time goes by.

Are you utilizing this subject now? Every day, but the practice of dentistry is ever evolving. I take hundreds of hours of continuing education every year. A speaker once asked of the audience: "How many years experience do you have?" and their responses varied from a few years to over 40 years. He then made this statement: "Do you have X years of experience or do you have one year of experience and just repeated it X number of years? I feel that we should all continue to gain experience and improve ourselves personally and professionally.
