Is the COVID-19 Threat also an Opportunity?
“The
more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the
religion of solitude.” ―Aldous Huxley
COVID-19
has thrown several threats to humans. The global economy has gone down, there
is growing unemployment and global recession. It has also brought innumerable
opportunities such as connecting with friends and families through technology
and telephone. It has connected all human beings and brought them into one global
platform emphasizing humanity. It has also focused on climate change.
People
started understanding and analyzing themselves currently as they were busy with
the rat race in the past. Now there is enough time to introspect and bring out
the desired improvements in attitude, personality, and behavior. Some leaders
have isolated themselves and imposed self-quarantine in the wake of COVID-19.
There are people who underwent self-quarantine and achieved amazing success. Some eminent personalities including
William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Giovanni Boccaccio, Edward Munch, and Thomas
Nashe leveraged their self-quarantine and produced the best works in the world.
Taking a leaf from them, you can also leverage the current lockdown by
unlocking your creativity and producing the best works in the world. During the
current lockdown, I have become more creative and focused on my intellectual
contributions. I contributed the best manuscripts to international journals and
magazines and I am also authoring a book on COVID-19.
Self-quarantine is an
opportunity for you to slow down, be creative and reinvent yourself. It is an
opportunity for you to take feedback about your strengths and weaknesses and
take inventory of your skills, abilities, and knowledge. You can explore career
transition, follow the neglected hobbies, reconnect with your old friends. To
conclude, convert your current threat into an opportunity. Remember that there
are only opportunities, not threats for leaders.
“Only in solitude do we find
ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in
solitude.” ―Miguel de Unamuno

COVID-19: Express Your Gratitude to Healthcare Professionals
“Feeling gratitude and not
expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” —William Arthur
Ward
The Indian government has announced
a 21-day lockdown as a preventive measure to counter COVID-19. It was a courageous
decision by Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India. Although it has
both pros and cons, the pros outnumber the cons. The cons include the dearth of
regular income and inaccessibility to basic necessities. Most migrants suffered
harshly as they could not return their native places during the lockdown. At
this hour of crisis, many officials from various departments are working hard
to protect the people. They include medical professionals, nurses, police, essential
service providers, and other responders. In fact, they are the real soldiers at
this hour of crisis. Reports of stone-pelting on healthcare professionals and
police by desperate and frustrated people are highly deplorable. They are doing
their duty sincerely under pressure by risking their own lives. People must
understand and respect their contribution.
People must understand the
reasons behind the lockdown and respect the decision taken by the government in
the larger interests of the nation. It is an opportunity for them to serve
their communities and societies in whatever the best possible way either by
donating money or investing their time by participating actively in nonprofits.
They can help the needy and elders by delivering groceries and medicines. They
must express their gratitude to all the departments that work under lots of
pressure. Let us all salute these real soldiers working relentlessly to fight
coronavirus.
“Good governance is not
fire-fighting or crisis-management. Instead of opting for ad-hoc solutions the
need of the hour is to tackle the root cause of the problems.” ―Narendra Modi

COVID-19: Turn Off Lights For 9 Minutes Tonight
Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi announced the Diya Jalao campaign a couple of days ago and asked
people to light lamps on April 5 at 9 pm for 9 minutes. It is a call for unity
to "fight the darkness of coronavirus pandemic". It is a step in the
right direction to bring more awareness about COVID-19 and boost the morale of
front-liners, health workers, police and the rest of India. Let us participate
and light lamps to celebrate unity and brotherhood. Let us show to the world
that India is united to fight against coronavirus.
“One moment can change a day,
one day can change a life and one life can change the world.” ―Buddha

COVID-19: India Lockdown for 21 Days―Express Gratitude Every Day
India
locked down for 21 days to prevent coronavirus from spreading across the
country. It caused panic in the Indian citizens but it is a step in the right
direction.
People
are not comfortable with the lockdown but it is in the larger interests of our
nation. India has a population of more than 1.3 billion and it is a big
challenge to combat coronavirus. The developed nations including Italy, Span,
France and America are battling to contain it despite having better healthcare
facilities.
Convert
the threat of lockdown into an opportunity. Mary Kom is practicing aggressively
during the lockdown. Several high achievers are leveraging lockdown to grow
professionally. Some celebrities are adding value through donations and
community services. In my case, I do research on COVID-19 regularly and share
the knowledge freely with the world. I express
my gratitude to each friend every day who helped me in the past. I talk to the
friend over the phone, recall the past golden memories and thank him for all
the help. It is an opportunity to build bridges.
Reinvent
your habits during a 21-day lockdown. Convert this threat of lockdown into an
opportunity to build a cleaner and better India. Jai Hind!
"There
are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people
rise to meet." —William Frederick Halsey, Jr.
