Their ashes should not choke the fire they have lit. - HG Wells
An Open letter to the MRODS
To my dear co-residents:
In a few days time, my term is about to end. Soon I will endorse to the next chief...What a relief=) But, let me first reminisce how it was offered to me...
My dear batchmates convinced me to take the position...
I have one condition: that they will support me and my plans and cunning as they are...they agreed, and so when dra purino asked me if i am willing... i answered yes without batting an eyelash...(and then afterwards, asked myself if i did the right decision?)
I had so many plans and visions.I was very utopian you might say.Will I be able to make it work?
I h
ave to make it work.
What did i learned? I learned that it was VERY hard...
I have 29 other individuals on my shoulder (it may mean literal at times..
i remember one masseur asking if i do weight lifting because my shoulder is too tight and is comparable to a "kargador"=)...
each person is a character all his/her own...No two persons are alike... but I really tried to make my approach individualized...
Being known for my quick temper, I have learned to try to keep it cool ...
but it was tough, very tough...
I had my share of tears... (with emphasis on the s... plural form!!!) I sometimes feel that i hurt too much because i care too much... but what do you expect me to do?
Regrets? I have none... My ways, styles and decision-making may not be popular to all of you,
but no one can question my sincerest desire to help each one of us be better, if not the best...
However, i sincerely apologize for my mistakes... missteps... and brutal frankness...
afterall, i am human also (though some of you might think that i am superwoman)
On the lighter side... i would like to thank each one of you for giving me the confidence that i can pull this act together....
Especially to my batchmates who have not faltered in their promise
and for the very open and constructive criticisms of me when i am making a mistake...
you guys kept me sane and grounded...
To all my co-residents: Thank you for allowing me to lead you.
It was an honor and pleasure on my part to have served you guys even for a year...
Thank you for making the whole housestaff feels like a family...as i have always wanted it to be...
Thank you for supporting my plans and visions. It was nice to serve all of you while it lasted.
To the next chief: (whoever he/she may be).
Warning: Know that this is not for the fainthearted nor for commitment-phobia persons...But, it is an honor to be bestowed upon the confidence of your colleagues that you can lead them
Advice? Accept the position wholeheartedly without buts or ifs... The demand is huge... the responsibilities are gargantuan... but at the end of the day, it is the fulfillment of being able to serve that will keep you going...and be an example, a good leader is a good follower first!
Godbless.
