Nairaland General › These 15 Things Will Matter A Lot Less To You In The Future by eleojo23(op): 11:07am On Mar 08, 2018
It’s been a while since I created a topic on this forum…well, I just want to share this post with you guys today…it’s kinda lengthy but just be patient to read it. I promise it won’t take more than 7 minutes of your time smiley

Many times we talk and talk about a lot of stuff that really doesn’t matter that much. We scrutinize and dramatize the insignificant until we’re blue in the face, and then we sit back and scratch our heads in bewilderment of how unfulfilling life feels.
But the older we grow, the quieter we become and the less pointless drama and chaos we engage in. Life humbles us gradually as we age. We realize how much nonsense we’ve wasted time on.

Truth be told, the afternoon always understands what the morning never even suspected.

Here are some things we tend to expend lots of mental and physical energy on when we’re younger, that we eventually realize matter a lot less than we originally thought…

1. The inevitable frustrations of an average day.
99% of what’s stressing you out today won’t matter a month from now. Sooner or later you will know this for certain. So just do your best to let go of the nonsense, stay positive, and move forward with your life.

2. The little failures you often feel self-conscious about.
When you set goals and take calculated risks in life, you eventually learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important in the long run.

3. How “perfect” everything could be, or should be.
Understanding the difference between reasonable striving and perfectionism is critical to letting go of fantasies and picking up your life. Perfectionism not only causes you unnecessary stress and anxiety from the superficial need to always “get it right,” it actually prevents you from getting anything worthwhile done at all.

4. Having complete confidence before taking the first step.
Confidence is that inner inertia that propels us to bypass our empty fears and self-doubts. On the road of life, we come to realize that we rarely have confidence when we begin anew, but as we move forward and tap into our inner and outer resources, our confidence gradually builds. A common mistake many young people make is wanting to feel confident before they start something, whether it’s a new job, a new relationship, living in a new city, etc. But it doesn’t happen like that. You have to step out of your comfort zone, and risk your pride, to earn the reward of finding your confidence.

5. Being an online-only activist for good causes.
Online is fine, but sooner or later you realize that if you truly want to make a difference you have to walk the talk too. So don’t just rant online for a better world. Love your family. Be a good neighbor. Practice kindness. Build bridges. Embody what you preach.

6. The pressures of making a big difference all at once.
When we’re young it seems like faster is better, but in time we witness the power of ‘slow and steady’ at work. We come to learn that no act of love, kindness or generosity, no matter how small, is ever wasted. The fact that you can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, is proof that YOU can make a big difference in life and business, even if it can’t be done all at once.

7. The temptation of quick fixes.
The older your eyes grow, the more clearly they can see through the smoke and mirrors of every quick fix. Anything worth achieving takes dedicated daily effort. Period! Honestly, I used to believe that making wishes and saying prayers alone changed things, but now I know that wishes and prayers change us, and WE change things. All details aside, when it comes to making a substantial change in your life – building a business, earning a degree, fostering a new relationship, starting a family, becoming more mindful, or any other personal journey that takes time and commitment – one thing you have to ask yourself is, “Am I willing to spend a little time every day like many people won’t, so I can spend the better part of my life like many people can’t?” Think about that for a moment. We ultimately become what we repeatedly do. The acquisition of knowledge doesn’t mean you’re growing – growing happens when what you know changes how you live on a daily basis.

8. Having a calendar jam-packed with exciting, elaborate plans.
Don’t jam your life with plans. Leave space. Over time you will learn that many great things happen unplanned, and some big regrets happen by not reaching exactly what was planned. So keep your life ordered and your schedule under-booked. Create a foundation with a soft place to land, a wide margin of error, and room to think and breathe every step of the way.

9. Being in constant control of everything.
The older we get the more we realize how little we actually control. And there’s no good reason to hold yourself down with things you can’t control. Learn to trust the journey, even when you do not understand it. Oftentimes what you never wanted or expected turns out to be what you need.

10. Winning arguments.
Not much is worth fighting about for long. And if you can avoid it, don’t fight at all. It really doesn’t matter that much. Don’t define your intelligence or self-worth by the number of arguments you have won, but by the number of times you have silently told yourself, “This nonsense is just not worth it!”

11. Blaming others.
Have you ever met a happy person who regularly evades responsibility, blames and points fingers and makes excuses for their unsatisfying life? Me neither. Happy people accept responsibility for how their lives unfold. They believe their own happiness is a byproduct of their own thinking, beliefs, attitudes, character and behavior. And although it takes time to fully grasp this, it’s a lesson worth learning.

12. Winning everyone’s approval.
It’s the strength of your conviction that determines your level of personal success in the long run, not the number of people who agree with every little thing you do. Ultimately, you will know that you’ve made the right decisions and followed the proper path when there is genuine peace in your heart.

13. The selfish and disparaging things others say and do.
If you take everything personally, you will inevitably be offended for the rest of your life. And that just isn’t worth it! At some point it becomes crystal clear that the way people treat you is their problem, and how you react is yours. Start taking full advantage of the amazing freedom that comes to you when you detach from other people’s antics.

14 Judging others for their shortcomings.
We all have days when we’re not our best. And the older we grow, the more we realize how important it is to give others the break we hope the world will give us on our own bad days. Truly, you never know what someone has been through in their life, or what they’re going through today. Just be kind, generous and respectful… and then be on your way.

15. Fancy and expensive physical possessions.
Later in life, your personal wish list for ‘big ticket’ physical possessions tends to get smaller and smaller, because the things you really want and need are the little things that can’t be bought.

I hope you found the post useful.

Don't mind them, they will be asking old people about her husband, the number of children she has. If the husband is dead, will be asking you the year he died as if na Wetin won treat the woman be that. They will carry stethoscope on their neck without knowing anything. The thing dey always make me laugh.
Those questions may seem unnecessary to you but they play a part in diagnosis and treatment. Some of the info gathered from those questions influence the treatment.

Treating people is not only about prescribing drugs and opening people up on the operating table.

Liar!
Nobody can even be on so-called call for 24 hours.
Really?
Just go the hospital on a Monday morning...you will most likely see one doctor who looks worn out as early as 7am.
You wonder why?
Because he has probably been in the hospital since Friday evening!

Don't even argue it. Those guys work long hours at a stretch
Education › Re: Injustice For Engineering Graduates, Corpers by eleojo23:
OP, corps doctors and other healthcare professionals work in their field (hospital or other health institutions) during their service and those institutions can afford to pay them that high. Yes, it is the institution (PPA) that pays the corps health professionals. Only few state governments give corps health professionals any state allowee

If you guys work in engineering firms, I'm sure you will be paid more. You don't expect to work as a teacher and be paid as an engineer.

I think your anger should be directed at your engineering regulatory body who has not taken it up to see that you guys are posted to your field for service.
Family › Re: “children Are A Burden. They Slow Down Careers & Are Time Consuming” - Lady by eleojo23:
I think she is indirectly trying to say that people should give birth to the number of kids they can take care of.

Don't go and be producing children as if na only you God give the command to 'be fruitful and multiply'

And she is also right on the second point. My Mum got her master's degree when I was studying for my own first degree... something she would have gotten earlier if she wasn't busy taking care of us.

I know men who do 2 jobs because they have kids to take care of. If they didn't have kids, they can live on one job comfortably with their wives.

So parenting involves sacrifices.

But mainly on there flagship phones. But can't work with other phones, it comes with a wireless controller, you can also buy other controllers.

"We contact the logistics they says that there are some package with no tracking information for the system problem and we are trying best to adjust the shipping way,i am sorry to cause your inconvinience, pls make a understanding"

Same old story. Lol. This guy na crook

Health › Re: 500 Canadian Doctors Protest Raises, Say They're Being Paid Too Much by eleojo23:
Liliyann:
Foolish and stupid doctors
Who does that?
Doctors here are complaining of not being paid,some fools are protesting coz they are being paid more.
They are foolish abi? Smh..

This kind of thing is strange to the African mind.

Too much poverty has created a mindset of always wanting to acquire more for ourselves even when we don't need it. That is why politicians will steal so much money that you will wonder whether they intend to spend it in their next life. That's a very poor and primitive mindset

There is nothing wrong in allowing the national cake to go round so that everyone can enjoy. That is what these doctors are trying to do.

COLLECT THE MONEY AND SEND IT TO POOR AFRICAN AND ASIAN COUNTRIES AS CHARITY. undecided
Why should they send it to African countries? Because they are poor? Their own country wasn't rich from the beginning, they developed it.

For how long will African countries keep looking for handouts?
Africans should better wake up and make their continent a better place for themselves too.
Health › Re: 500 Canadian Doctors Protest Raises, Say They're Being Paid Too Much by eleojo23:
The group say they are offended that they would receive raises when nurses and patients are struggling.
These guys care about other healthcare workers unlike in this part of the world where the reverse is the case.

Pull-them-down syndrome is endemic here
Doctors will most of the time resist any attempt that will lead to better welfare for the other healthcare professionals.
And in so doing, have created a very toxic work environment in the healthcare setting.

There is definitely something wrong with the black man..

"We, Quebec doctors, are asking that the salary increases granted to physicians be canceled and that the resources of the system be better distributed for the good of the health care workers and to provide health services worthy to the people of Quebec."
Wow...people will come here now and start calling these doctors foolish for rejecting a pay raise but all I see here are people who genuinely care about others. This kind of thing is rare in this part of the world. We preach about putting others first, we say 'love your neighbor as yourself' but most of us don't practice it.
Most of these guys don't even listen to all the sermons that we listen to every Sunday or fridays yet they have genuine concern for the well being of their fellow men and they want everyone to enjoy the national cake.
