LIFE LESSONS OF COVID-19

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life : It Goes on.”
- Robert Frost.

From the quote of Robert Frost, I started believing and thinking of the life after the pandemic COVID-19, how would the life be after the lessons people have learnt during COVID-19.

Many us did never thought of a life that we experienced during the pandemic, the life of total lockdowns where by being out the street had become illegal, the life of self-insecurities, the life during COVID-19. When the whole world is fighting against the invisible enemy (CORONA VIRUS) which put all of us and our rights in jeopardy and making all of us less safe.

A lot of lessons are learnt during the period but one of the most is Discipline in Time, Health and Money. The COVID-19 has taught us that the time we have today is very important because tomorrow is a mystery. We should take the time we have has a crisis time to set goals and choose directions as young people and stop dreaming or hoping for tomorrow.
“we have all regret, the chances we didn’t take”

Another thing is proper money management, the pandemic COVID-19 has basically taught us on how to spend our money properly on Needs, Wants and Savings for tomorrow is a mystery. During the pandemic when people experienced partial or total lockdown is when we realized the importance of money discipline.

The COVID-19 has reminded us on investing on our health, before people had a life style that didn’t consider the procedures and regulations of good health and well-being, people could eat what ever come across them and while the COVID-19 came the law of nature applied “survival for the fittest” then during the pandemic COVID-19 the healthiest survived since they could sustain the virus. Here a lesson came that our health is more important to consider before all things we do in life. This is when an Arabic proverb sounded true that says
“He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything".

After all this people should think on the life after COVID-19, where people will start afresh after all the Mental and Physical depression of people that led also to social and economic depression. This is the time when the society needs to change the total way of living by having more Discipline in every aspect and Focus to rebuild because the take-off stages from the pandemic will be more difficult without total focus of each and every one of us. People should impacts the knowledge learnt during the COVID-19 to take-off and get back to normal.

People and Technology

For the long time that I have been experiencing the change in all aspects of life even cultural, I also experience the change of technology time to time. Actually technology has been advancing to simplify activities done in the world. Do people change with the technology changes or we all somewhere observing technological changes but we never change? More than 3 billion people around the world using social media every month. Social media has taken the large part to influence people move with the technology, since it started, it has been a essential piece of our business marketing strategy, connect people with their customers. It allows people to reach others logically, regionally, nationally and even internationally. For social media having many users, does it mean people move with technology in other areas too?

Hiking Day at Uluguru Mountains: A lot of reasons to conserve

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Uluguru Mountains stand tall and proud, beckoning adventurers with their lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking panoramic views. As an avid nature enthusiast, I embarked on a hiking day at Uluguru Mountains, seeking solace from the bustling city life and an opportunity to reconnect with the pristine beauty of the natural world. It was not a first time, and surely it will not be a last time. BUT, little did I know that this expedition would prove to be a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually. The Ascent Begins With my backpack packed and a heart full of anticipation, I set foot on the trailhead around 10am. The air was crisp, and the sweet aroma of the surrounding vegetation infused my senses, drew my attention, that, it was time, time to get far and reconnect with the most beautiful and tiresome activity that am attracted to, accompanied by an experienced guide, not in such, but t...

Developing a Personal Mantra

Its been a long long long time since we were here! Anyways, happy new year 2025! I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, reflections, and snippets of daily life here. Come to "sharing", last year I got to hear a thing about "mantra" from a friend and a mentor, and this is what I firstly need to share before we dive deep in 2025. Mantras have a way of anchoring our thoughts and guiding our actions. As I approached 2025, I felt the need for a guiding principle that would not only inspire me but also provide a framework for how I navigate the year. That’s how I arrived at my mantra: Intentional Progress . This article shares my journey of developing this mantra and how it can shape my actions in the year ahead. The Importance of a Mantra A personal mantra is more than just a phrase; it’s a compass that aligns your actions with your values and goals. It serves as a reminder to stay focused and intentional, especially when life becomes overwhelming. For me, a mant...
