  1. When one desire to be teacher or neurologist, he desire a great honorable thinks and his desire is finalized to common utility. Those persons have a high sensibility that finalized this to others. This happen when one love people and may not retain this sentiment for itself; on the contrary he advert the necessity to done it to others.
