…to her young intern
4th Jan 2024. 1 min read published in The Power Of Poetry
What can I teach you young lady
That is valuable for your life
Values that money can’t buy
That the road ahead is not as smooth as you wish
There will be bumps and potholes indeed
Some will make you stumble and even bleed
But you will pick yourself up.
As you are taught to be calm
It seems like you are given a balm
So that when you fall, you will not falter, at least not mentally and spiritually
Your mind will remain crystal clear
Solutions will surface, kind words will arise from your lips, your hands and legs will remain steady
You can rectify the situation
Because nothing serious will happen
If you do not panic
Everything will smoothen out like a silky fabric
It’s here that I practice calmly so that you will imbibe what we believe to be good for your well being
I must thank you too as I benefit from working with you
Based on this principle of tranquility
Don’t even flinch, things are not as bad as you imagine
Kind words, positive thoughts, and a good deed will carry your day as they do mine
And we can all have a great time
While you develop this dentist philosophy from your personal experience and wisdom you gained in life, you are now imparting these pertinent skills to your young interns and apprentices whom you are training them for a great and satisfying career ahead of them as they have the passion to acquire such knowledge and skills before enrolling for a varsity dentistry course .
The key words are don’t panic but with a pair of steady hands and armed with a tranquil and calm mind, all will be well in the end.
Hopefully from these newbies whom you have mentored and trained in the past , more locums will join you soon to lend you a helping hand as you really need them riĝht now, to relieve you of the pressure you are facing now.
