The Lock Down

The lock down, this is the time where the earth is taking a break from the busy world. A time where the citizen understand that problems are not only to be solved by the government but by collective hands. The time not to point fingers, blaming others of the cause of the problem, but time to start thinking of solutions and directives.

If the way you work last year stresses you a lot, then this is the time to change your working habits not quit your job. If you are the type of person who waits for others to motivate you, maybe try and start motivating yourself, learn!

If you are still less confident about that skill set you have, maybe this is the time to start working on it, learn to understand not just by doing. Remember this. The giant today was once less confident of their previous skill set but they were focus.

It's only called a project when the whole solution is unknown, try to keep everything in life simple and easy. Hard-working people make things look simple and easy.

Someone once asked me what technology should I learn to get a job and I said, have you think of (Microsoft Foundation Classes) MFC and the reply I got was, No way! That is an old technology, then I said, that is the point, fewer people are less interested in that technology and it works and billions of applications are built on top of that technology. That gives you the opportunity to get into the industry when you have it on your CV.

If you want to be good at what you do, you have to learn from the extraordinary and beat them with a sleepless night of thinking and coming up with a better way of solving a problem and gaining a quick solution. It's satisfying when you know what you are doing. Don't be carried away by what people say, it's about you not them, but always listen. You might be called stupid today but tomorrow those same people will applaud you.

Sometimes you have to be stupid to learn certain stuff and If anyone tells you its simple is because they have managed to simplify the complexity already, that those not mean you have.

To make things look simple you have to be very hardworking and don't allow successful people to tell you, sleep is good for your health, otherwise, you will end up paying a mortgage for the rest of your life.

This lock-down, with whatever it brought, the pain it brought, it has to count for something, its time we have to think collectively and also think alone of the directions you are ending.

If isn't what we are, what are we? think and learn!

Let this lock-down, bring you a better way of thinking and a better way of heading to your goals.

The world is today because of collective knowledge, so why did you think yours not needed. Gain more knowledge to cover your knowledge gaps, but that does not mean you will be whole because there is always going to be a knowledge gain and that is why you need others.

Listen, learn from those who have the knowledge and those who know how to use it. They scale the same.
