My Dear Colleagues by Dr Lawal Anka

Do not let anyone look down on you. You are the only original in the whole world. You are one of a kind. No one is like you on the face of the earth. No one will ever be like you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Anyone who tries to be like you can only be an Imitation. You are unique, You are special. Never sell yourself short. Never devalue yourself. You are not embarrassment to your profession. Don't look down on yourself.
Your uniqueness means there is something only you can do. There are problems only you can solve. You have something to offer your people.
Your uniqueness means there is only you can contribute to your people/world. You are not here just for decorations or to a while away time. You are not here to escort people. Inside you is the ability to and potential to do remarkable things. To make a difference and become a reference. You are not doing yourself favour when you compare yourself to others.
You can live a life of significance,a life that counts. You can do more than you can. You can win. Confess who you are, not who you are not.
What they say you can not do,you can do. Where they say you can no go, you can go. What they say you can not achieve,you can achieve.
You must believe in yourself. Your believe determines the kind of people you create for yourself. The people can not devalue you if you have confidence in yourself. Your thinking determines the way you acts and the things you do.
Change your associates from so called people and the places you go. Change the things you subject your eyes and ears to. Learn to fill your mind with positive, inspirational, educational, motivational and nourishing mental and spiritual diet.
Others can only frustrates your effort and count you out of the contest of life. Please don't give up on your faith. Don't compromise your stand. Just continue to do the right things and put in your best.
What make you great is not what you have, but what you do. People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care about them.
You are known by the goodness of your deeds. You can never lose by doing good. Your only opportunity to make a difference is while you as still alive. Don't die with intentions. The best intentions have never won a medal. Only what is done is rewarded.
Don't allow your name to written only as a footnotes in history. You become great by doing great things. Don't forget, the song you don't sing now cannot be sung in the grave, neither can the book you refuse to write or the love you couldn't express. History doesn't make men, men make history.
Your value determines who you are and what you will become in future.
Be kind to yourself, your colleagues, your patients, patients relatives and other hospital staffs. If you are committed to helping and to seeing to the growth and success of others, others will be equally committed to your success.
