This is me!<\/p>\n

Very inspired by many of my friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the midst of covid-19, some take up courses to study or learn a new skill, some start up new businesses, some embark on a strict health regime to get fit, some bless others with food, stay engaged with technology to maintain the friendship, they are bursting with positivity and a “never say die”<\/em> attitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend started a new “talk show” on Facebook live. People innovate, try out new business strategies and means of communication. (Not everything works but at least they try, there’s a saying, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even for those who lost their jobs, they aggressively look for a new one. They send out more than 20 CVs in a week. (Yes Gen Z person who complained of not finding a job after sending 20 CVs over several weeks, you can surely do better.) Some of them are hired and are happy to start new jobs. 👍🏻<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They don’t spend a lot of time complaining on social media, they understand what is productive and what isn’t productive, they search for opportunities, they grow and multiply their talents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, it is easy to find reasons (or make excuses) and justify why your situation is worse off than everyone else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But what’s important at the end of the day is your attitude.<\/em><\/p>\n

People need positivity and hope. There is enough bad news in the world (especially this year). Spread hope, encourage others, bless others. (But don’t spread fake news! 😅)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You sow what you reap. If you sow blessings into others, you will receive blessings yourself. If you sow criticism, complaints and negativity, guess what will you reap?<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, we’re supposed to be salt and light. (We’re not called to be salty! 🤣)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u52a0\u6cb9 everyone!<\/strong><\/p>\n
