How to spend time systemically

From Sir William Osler, medical student should have form the habit of study. When we got into the habit of studying, it is better for us to spend our time systemically.

For example, the last one hour of a day, we study medical textbooks about today's cases on our desk.
Sir William Osler recommended students to put literal books on our bedside. It means before sleeping we should spend our time as reading books. It also means we should read not only medical textbooks, but also various kind of books, to keep our eyes open.

He was not only a great doctor and teacher, but also had a large stock of knowledge about the humanities and liberal arts. Therefore he had a lot friends of humanities scholars. He also registered humanities' congress.

I hope to keep my view broaden.

One of my mentors, Dr. Y.T. respects him so much. Therefore, he also registered one of humanities congress.
