Two important lessons I learnt during my internship that are not related to my work- There is always someone who has suffered through more pain than you have; and there is always something that you can be grateful about. 

I was missing my family one day at work and felt terrible to be so far away from everyone I love. So I went to chat with a colleague to divert my feelings, only to see him equally sad about something. When I asked he said that he was missing his family. I thought to myself-that was the last thing I wanted to hear. But as a courtesy I asked where his family was. He said-they are gone.

I didn't know if I should feel happy or sad.
