Why did I start tubules ?
Today I start a new journey, a new posting.
For a long time I have been working on dentinaltubules . In 3.5 years we have managed to get over 13500 members . It's been a huge effort - sleepless nights, long hours, drained energies and much more.
But the questions I am often asked need answering - questions like why tubules ? What do you embody ? Why the many tweets and facebook postings ? What is tubules ? What can I get from it ?
Through these series of blog posts, I will aim to answer those questions. Not only that, I am using this as my very own self searching journey - my own self and how I have become entwined with tubules. How tubules has become my passion, my purpose and my driving force of the daily existence.
So let's start with why I started tubules
Well let's talk about myself for a moment - in life, on a daily basis, as I fight through challenges and adversity, I always feel like I should hold a positive light, see positive items, see the silver lining in a situation and generally be hugely driven. Every moment has some inspiration and something to learn from. We must learn.
My parents put a huge emphasis on education, on learning. They sacrificed their happy life to ensure that I had the best education. They supported me through it all. Today that education, that powerful tool , is helping me drive through life with energy that I would never have had. It earns me a decent living, it helps me educate others and it helps me grow as a person. Every day I still learn.
Growing up in Kenya, we saw young children who could not afford a basic education. They struggled to afford 5p a day. How many people around the world struggle to get a good education ?
Can you imagine how it would be to be able to deliver a level of education for them, to deliver information to them and can you imagine if we all shared what we learn and we all connected - how powerful a tool this would be ?
Ladies and gentleman, tubulites, Just imagine if we could deliver education through the globally growing web and send this material to every corner of the world.
Imagine the massive change we could all make ?
That is where my tubules journey begins.... until next time....when I will tell you all about dentinal

good morning,
ReplyDeletea statement full of dedication, respect an love. congratulation.
the story? a story of success and hard work. very well done. speaking for the profession-thank you.
would like to suggest one more aspect we should start looking at and treasuring: to protect the profession, to protect the dentists. metro workers have formed their union to defend and protect their interests...do we have similar, do we need similar, can we build similar?
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for what you do!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jay Marks and DPS coach for your kind comments
ReplyDeleteThank youDr Liviu for that nice comment. Protecting the profession is important . What are the issues facing us ?
The challenges in the UK are the dead hand of government interference with a near totally ineffective "representative" body.
DeleteWhich through education and a change from within we can slowly but surely overcome ?
DeleteHope you all continue to enjoy the blog
