There are many attributes required to be a successful doctor. Perhaps the main ones are motivation and compassion but others include enthusiasm, stamina, tenacity, initiative, courage, loyalty, excellence, resilience, ability to work in a team and a sense of humour. You need to have the capacity to deal with frustrations and disappointments and to be able to deal with a career that may have many highs and lows and on occasions be extremely stressful. You need the ability to be able to wind down and relax and to have hobbies and pastimes that will allow you to do so.
