Enzymes Induce my Fit

I just wanted to say that my title today is so clever and it makes me so proud. If you can't understand its meaning then you better review some biology for the MCAT. Truth is, enzymes don't induce my fit, they're pretty awesome. Without enzymes, there'd be no life. Enzymes are everywhere and arguably the most important thing in our bodies. From hydrolyzing all that alcohol in our livers after a fun friday night or digesting that abomination they call food from the college dining hall, it's all enzymes. All you really need to understand are the different ways to inhibit/activate an enzyme. In addition, a basic understanding of the Michaelis-Menten equation wouldn't hurt. If you've taken biochem in college, this part of the review should be a piece of cake. If you haven't, I suggest you do at some point in your undergraduate career.

In other news, I watched the movie "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" with most-notably Michael Douglas and Shia LeBeouf. It's a great movie that really gives a lay person an idea of how corrupt and unethical corporate America is. But, I also had another realization watching this movie. As much as we go around saying that money isn't everything and there's more to life, the unfortunate truth is that money is everything. It's what we do with that money that distinguishes the smart from the dumb. You'll notice that every CEO or President of a large corporation that has made millions, if not billions has had to make a series of tough decisions with all their money and their corporations money. You'll notice that those that made smart decisions (i.e. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos) have continued to make billions and grow their respective companies. On the other hand those that made poor decisions (Enron's CEO, Mark Fold, Lehman Bros.) ended up with less than nothing. If you're reading this blog, you more than likely want to be a doctor, hopefully not for the money. If you want to make money, you should go into business, because that is where it's at. Anyway, enough of my ranting, hopefully I haven't made you change your mind enough to go into business. Medicine is still the best :)

Cheers,
