      Having the skills and tools to create products and services that solve societal needs is very rewarding. Solving problems in the healthcare is really challenging, but it’s fun too. I feel pretty good about that 🙂

      It is great! It is a great feeling to think that what you have designed or spent a lot of days working on has a purpose and there are people out there using it and enjoying it.
      It is great to change and improve people’s lives! (And it really motivates you to want to go to work everyday).

      It’s a really great feeling!

      Individually, we won’t change the world, but collectively, along with our colleagues, and the general scientific and engineering communities, we are making progress in so many areas, its great to be even a small part of this.

      It’s awesome! Being able to make a difference to people’s quality of life is really inspiring and keeps me motivated to the extend that quite a lot of the time I don’t feel like it’s work, it’s just fun and exciting!

      Hi 397arth48,

      It feels awesome! sometimes you would want to do more to have a bigger impact, but even at a very small scale, it feel great and very rewarding! This makes you want to keep going and working harder every time!
