Both are necessary to achieve what you want.

**** those people who ask you to forget about your dreams. you only live once, so do whatever you want.

So true. I dont really know why some singaporeans like this. I understand that you have 'lousy GPAs' but if you have the passion to become a doctor , you have to start from the bottom. Even if it takes years and years, study hard and be hard working. But some of them has a point. If you just want to earn the title DR then forget it. Studying medicine and being in the field of becoming a doctor is so much more than that. Whatever it is, i wish you all the best and go pursue your dreams !
