Dr Dean Marshall: Patients are beginning to realise their local practice is under strain | Article | Pulse Today.

This article is a clear indication that our patients value us and understanding the difficulties we are going through in the form of financial cuts from this Government.

When will the Government start listening to Patients? The National Health Service is funded by the tax payers, the Patients. It is time all political parties stop playing politics with the  National Health Service and Patients health.

I Remember Mom

Random Storyteller

On Peggy's first day at school, Peggy was embarrassed because Mom was the oldest mother there. But Mom new better--wisdom follows beauty. On Peggy’s first day at school, she wept because Mom was the oldest mother there. But Mom knew better—wisdom follows beauty.

Peggy, my younger sister, wept bitterly on her first day of school.

“Honey, don’t worry,” my mother reassured. “You’ll be home before you know it.”

My sister cried louder.

“You’ll love school. You’ll read and color.”

“But you’re so old!” Peggy squalled, tears of shame on her face.

Mom, her hair already turning fine silver by age 40, shut off the spigot: “Do you think these young mothers know how to make volcanoes that explode and really ooze lava? Do they know how to camp and cook outdoors? Do they know how to be room mothers?”

A lifelong Girl Scout, Mom was an intrepid woodswoman and leader. Mom was an intrepid woods-woman and Girl Scout leader.

This woman was wise in the ways of motherhood.

She could turn out two dozen fudgey-chocolate brownies and handily kill a copperhead snake…

On Homesickness: A Letter to My Children

07 Wednesday May 2014

Posted by Dr Mustapha Tahir in Uncategorized

HAVING DECIDED TO STAY

Airplane Flying
[ Someday, perhaps, I will have children. If they’re anything like me, they will be afflicted with a craving that creeps up at unexpected moments, and gnaws like hunger. How will they know that I too was young once, and didn’t belong anywhere? How will they know about all the music I’ve switched off and the mountains I’ve looked away from and the magazines I’ve closed up and put back on the shelf, so as to keep the sorrow of unfulfilled things at bay? How will they know there is a thread to tie up all their scattered affections? I will write a letter…]

My Dear Children,

You don’t belong here. I’m pretty sure you know this already, although perhaps you’ve not expressed it in exactly this way. However, I think you should express it in this way.

I don’t know what the colors will be on the flag you…

Dr Mustapha Tahir: Leadership Freak on 20 Habits of Untrustworthy Leaders

06 Tuesday May 2014

Posted by Dr Mustapha Tahir in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

20 Habits of Untrustworthy Leaders.

Please read the above link from Leadership Freak. In my opinion, diagnosing an unworthy leader pretty early could help one to manage one’s place of occupation. It will also help to ensure you continue to give the best of yourself without compromising your standards.

Thought I should share this excellent article with all my friends and followers.

Delighted to Support Desmond Tutu’s Forgiveness Challenge

05 Monday May 2014

Posted by Dr Mustapha Tahir in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

This project saved lives in South Africa when Nelson Mandela came to power. There could be justice in forgiveness.

There’s nowhere in the world where this could best be applied than Northern Ireland at the moment. Unfortunately many do not think so. With the arrest for up to 96 hours by the Police of the former  Sinn Fein (Political wing of the IRA) leader, Mr Gerry Adamd, over the death of a mother of ten, by name Jean McConville in 1972.

Ruth Duddley Edwards writing in The Telegraph this morning stated Gerry Adams should not be immune from Justice. Sinn Fein insist the arrest is “politically contrived” and is “malicious”. But as she rightly argued, “is it worth bringing the past to light if it means chaos in the present? Should the need for justice for Jean McConville outweigh the need for all sides to put the troubles behind them?” She went on to argue “If you can not have justice then you cannot have peace Worthing of the name”. I disagree. Forgiveness as demonstrated by the Tutu project in South Africa, brought peace and aborted carnage. Same can be achieved in Norther Ireland through the process of forgiveness, in my opinion. There could be justice in learning to say sorry for our crimes and being forgiven by those we wronged.
