In the mid of March, 2019, almost all of our educational institutions, offices, banks had shut down in case of COVID-19's terrible infectious characteristics. Like everyone else I also had to confine myself in the four walls of the home and not go outside without emergencies. There is no room for doubt that the appearance of COVID-19 has a great impact on our mental health and physical well-being for being quarantined for a long time. Apart from these, I have found this pandemic a hidden blessing for myself.
The greatest blessing from this quarantine is that it gave me this valuable time to create some amazing moments with my family which I overlooked sometimes for my busy schedule. This lockdown situation caused us to embrace the friends and relatives a little bit tighter even from a distance through virtual reunion.
This catastrophe has given me a chance to practise some technical learning stuff and to develop my soft skills. In this huge time period, I have practised some online course learning in excel, programming, supply-chain, spoken english etc. I have attended some online sessions by sitting at home with my coffee mug. A couple of them are, Critical Thinking Learning
by Jahangirnagar University Career Club, Academic Research Writing
by our honourable Harun Or Rashid sir , Career Talk
series organized by RUET Career Forum and so on. I tried to make this huge time span feasible by practising web content writing as a content writer of RCF and participating in several business idea competitions. I want to mention that for the increase of online activities in this crisis especially in the educational sector, we are highly dependent on technology and it gives me this chance to make myself sharp-witted for the upcoming fast growing world.
Don't take anything for granted anymore
- it's a message for us given by the coronavirus situation. I learn that, to enjoy and to live in each and every moment of life and appreciate the simple things which make me happy are awfully important in my life. Sometimes we need to take a break from our stressful hectic life, we need to slow down and give this time to our close ones, to ourselves.
