This is my entry for week 40 of the second edition of the on going engagement in this precious community. It's been a great moment of participation especially with the life transforming weekly themes. As part of the testimony for others to acknowledge what this contest has done, my writing skills has received a great improvement as well as my confidence in engaging with other high profile people on the platform. I count it a rare privilege. For others participating too I salute your courage in doing this task.
Before us is a fragile topic that needs a little reflection over what had happened before and my response to an emergency situation. To justify my write up, I would like to briefly explain some key words to grant us a firm grip even as I proceed.
Lockdown I think is the combination of two important words lock and down. Linking them it means a restriction or limitation set to put an individual under subjection over a particular period of time.
Lockdown can also be seen as an emergency pronouncement or declaration as a result of an outbreak of disease or health that pertains multitude of people.
To further buttress this, lock down is a precautionary attempt taken in response to a thread of disease, security etc that is stated by the government in order to curl the challenge.
During this moment, movement and other activities are put to hold in order to identify specific measure to proffer solution.
Once lock down is declared, it comes with some level of impact to human beings both positive and negative. I can recalled when I experienced two different lock down though one amongst them was indelible because of the long time it took for normal life to be returned. I never for once thought this lockdown (COVID-19) would take so many months like that so there was not prior knowledge for proper fortification. I suffered in the aspect of food because hardly do you see what you want to eat and even the menial jobs that one does came to a still simply because of the lock down. My cash flow was also affected and where I worked was shut down which affected my stipend.
If there would be another impromptu lock down hmmmm I will make sure those lapses I had during the other lock down doesn't repeat itself again. I will ensure that my work metamorphosed to more of online than offline, this will boost my productivity and enlarged my reasoning ability outside the normal box. I will delve into the blockchain opportunities especially hive. This kind of engagement will help stay updated and keep myself abreast with other changes. When the mind is idle certainly wrong thoughts might set in. I will always engage my mind to critical thinking and imagination in order to survive the challenge.
Furthermore, I will restock my food stuff in the house since one of my policy in life is buying things in bulk which normally takes me up to half of the year to finish, I think when I implore this strategy is not out of place. Wisdom is profitable to direct here too. Being prudent will pave way for me to go through the turbulence of the time. I will also make sure to build up strong network with people from my similar faith so that I would receive encouragement and good counsel to succeed. When I put the aforementioned in view, to a greater degree of more than seven months I should be able to go through the process.
Is not as if I like lock down but if it eventually comes, it won't be out of place to get house assistant. Always to be on alert to render any service while I remain focus to think outside the box to see how I can survive it.
I don't pray to experience any lock down again because it can be disastrous than the previous.
