Therefore, I jumped on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanother locomotive, which was going in the opposite direction! I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egave my life a further acceleration and started to run fast on a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esoft, snowy road surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower or ability is useless if you don't run on the right road.

This should never be forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt happened to me: I jumped on the right train.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne sleepless night, when I was thinking about my debts, how unhappy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was, and couldn't fall asleep. I had an idea that would\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echange the history of diabetes. I was reading an article published\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein a medical journal that I received that day, titled 'The relationship\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebetween islets of Langerhans and diabetes in a case of pancreatic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elithiasis' by Moses Barron.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong other things he said that those who had damage of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eislets of Langerhans became diabetic and that the damage was an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eobstruction damage...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith these words, Frederick Banting summarized the meaning of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehis life and the genesis of the discovery of insulin, after the award\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof the Nobel Prize for Medicine in Stockholm in 1923, and this\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estory is incredible.
