What life has taught me by Orolugbagbe Olabanji Joel

WHAT LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME: Life has taught me to know God and be sensitive to his directions,many tend to to move based on how other people move or what other people are but life has taught me "LIfe" is more than that. Life has taught me "some people get some things easily but it doesn't last as the good things that will last never comes easily but with sweat and sacrifice" - Banji Joel Life has taught me how important it is to identify one's purpose early and maximise all available opportunities to achieving the purpose. You know life isn't fair and we wonder why things even get tougher when you think you have successfully identified your purpose and passed through the stage of preparation. LAUGHS!!! You know having a good start doesn't mean one will finish well because starting well without maintaining and maximizing every opportunity available will only make one go down very bad - Banji Joel But life have also made me to understand that going down isn't so fatal but being down and giving up causes the inability to rise again after falling and this is really fatal. I have also learnt that one is being celebrated only after success and not during the fall so therefore why can't one strive to rise after fall???!!! But I have learnt one shouldn't stop trying because so many people are looking up to you, in fact you have destinies in your hands and you must be great so that they must be great. Life has taught me the essence of people in LIFE, do you know God uses men to lift men?? We need men, we need friends, we need soulmate, we need our family, we need our people, life taught me the power of influence either through a direct source or an indirect one. Life has taught me that grace differs and what we are capable of doing differs. Also, thinking differs then the outcome of things we must surely do must differ" then the same LIFE has made me understand that when thinking differ, then the diversity in the capabilities of men is established, then achieving lots together is established- Banji Joel. Lastly, Life has taught me about family in one's achievement, whatever a man is has direct or indirect connection with what he has gotten from his family through nurture, other things he get from other places during the period of development only stand following the pattern and the foundation being late down and made by the family. Therefore, today, I celebrate myself and I celebrate my family. Life will be better for all when we all understand "LIFE". - AT EACH AND EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIVES, SOMETHING CHANGE. Banji Joel. - EVEN STILL YOUNG BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THE YEARS I HAVE SPENT ARE MY FOUNDATIONAL YEARS. Banji Joel. - EACH DAY COMES WITH IT'S UNIQUENESS. Banji Joel. - I HAVE LEARNT A LOT FROM MY DAILY LEARNING MOVEMENT AND I APPLY ALL THESE TO MY DOINGS AS I GROW. Banji Joel. - Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated -Confucius. - Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing. Denis Waitley. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME Every 30/7 is the date.

2025 International Nurses Day Write-up by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

"Caring for Nurses: The Key to a Stronger Economy" The 2025 International Nurses Day theme, "Our Nurses, Our Future; Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies," resonates deeply with nurses worldwide. As the International Council of Nurses (ICN) aptly puts it, "Building on the success of the 2024 International Nurses Day theme, The Economic Power of Care, the 2025 theme shifts focus to the health and wellbeing of nurses." The Unseen Struggles of Nurses Nursing has evolved significantly over the years, with numerous specialities and forms of care aimed at promoting patient health, preventing illness, and facilitating coping with disabilities and nursing patients to a peaceful death. However, the emotional, physical, social, and financial toll on nurses remains largely unaddressed. Who cares for the heart that cares? The increasing workload, economic pressures, and fear of litigation have made nursing jobs more challenging than ever. Several nurses have left t...

The Reality of Marriage: Beyond Love by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
In my three years of marriage and what I have seen of marriages around me, I have come to realize that every day is an opportunity to celebrate love, foster understanding, practice forgiveness, and make sacrifices. Contrary to the notion that all you need for a successful marriage is love, I have learned that it takes intentional effort and investment from both partners. Sacrifices and forgiveness are just as crucial as love in making a marriage last, peaceful, and happy. Marriage is often romanticized, but the reality is that it requires hard work and dedication, which many marriage speakers tend not to speak about. Love alone isn't enough; financial stability also plays a significant role in strengthening the bond in marriage. Forgiveness and sacrifice are essential, not just during challenging times but as a continuous process. Both partners must be willing to sacrifice their individual interests and preferences to maintain peace and harmony and family growth. As the saying goes...

PRIORITIZING WHAT MATTERS by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
Yesterday, I discharged a very demanding patient home. As she was about to leave the ward with her daughter, she called me over for a hug and expressed her gratitude. She told her daughter that I was a good nurse and was happy that I was part of her care team throughout her hospital stay. This gesture hit me differently, and it motivated me to do even more for my patients. As an adult with family responsibilities, I have come to realize that my profession is not just a job but a source of sustenance. I have learned to prioritize my role as a nurse above every thing I was actively doing before having a family, and the appreciation from patients like this one means a lot to me. Recently, I had a conversation with my cousin, and I shared with him that the only thing that can get under my skin is being told I am not good at my job because I see it as a threat to my source of livelihood and if genuinely done, I see it as a push to improve myself. I have accepted that I have shifted my focus...
