Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day!

I have been named yet again for the 3 Days, 3 Quotes Tag! Yay! *happy dance* Thank you so much Kranti from SparklingThoughts for tagging me. It’s indeed a pleasure!

FYI – Well this time too this tag comes with a twist folks – I am posting all the three quotes in one post for the three days. Sorry about being such a rebel, I am “shamelessly” STILL way behind on my tags! *I need some time management classes*
On a brighter side today’s quotes come from none other than the “ministering angel” Florence Nightingale – a trailblazing figure in nursing!

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your life or just finding you’re stalling instead of killing that to-do list, muster up the courage and motivation to get going. Taking action might seem daunting when you’re at a point to take a big decision. While a bit of planning, preparation and legwork is important, the fact of the matter is that taking the right kind of action will have a great compounding effect to take you through the big decision. Be BRAVE, take that chance! It is tempting to stay where it is familiar, but no one ever got anywhere by staying at one place!

To achieve greatness, one should stop giving excuses. Plain and simple! If you’re going after great things at work and in life, stop plaguing yourself with lame excuses and take responsibility. For sure, it’s the only way to steer clear of roadblocks as you head down the path to greatness. We all have it in ourselves to be better than today, the aim is to trust our instincts and go for it!

A good leader leads by example and makes sure that his/her directives are followed. A leader is only as effective as his team and the leaders who don’t walk the talk lose trust. If you want your team members to display certain behaviors, you need to display them first. You cannot ask someone to do something that you wouldn’t do yourself. Showing your team that you are one of them and their equal in being responsible for outcomes will go a long way in building trust and attaining success!

ABOUT FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC, DStJ (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing, also famously known as ‘The Angel of Crimea’ or the ‘Lady with the Lamp’.
During the Crimean War (a military conflict fought from October 1853 to February 1856, in which the Russian Empire lost to an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain and Sardinia), more soldiers were dying from infections than from battle injuries. Nightingale and a team of nurses greatly improved the unsanitary conditions at a British hospital, working night and day to reduce the death count by two-thirds.
Later on, Queen Victoria rewarded Nightingale’s work by presenting her with an engraved brooch and a $250,000 prize. Florence decided to invest the money in building the St. Thomas’ Hospital and within it, the Nightingale Training School for Nurses. As Nightingale ascended the ranks, she became a popular role-model for many young women, inspiring them to take on nursing.
The fact that we have a nursing profession today is, in large part, thanks to Nightingale’s dedication and commitment to serve others! In recognition of her pioneering work in nursing, the Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses, and the Florence Nightingale Medal, the highest international distinction a nurse can achieve, were named in her honor, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday.
Nightingale was also a prodigious and versatile writer. In her lifetime, much of her published work was concerned with spreading medical knowledge. Some of her tracts were written in simple English so that they could easily be understood by those with poor literary skills. She was also a pioneer in the use of info-graphics, effectively using graphical presentations of statistical data. Much of her writing, including her extensive work on religion and mysticism, has only been published posthumously.

Interesting Fact – She also educated “America’s first trained nurse!”
Linda Richards (1841-1930) owns this distinction, which she acquired by attending London’s Nightingale School of Nursing. Nightingale herself helped personally advise Richards, whose focus later shifted toward psychiatry and working with mental health professionals.
