I hope all is well and sundry, in this times of pandemic where most of us if not all are confined at home, we are kept from lots of other important activities that we would otherwise also be doing aside blogging, most people are doing what i call ADIDAS in my language which literally translates as eating and sleeping. However, i also believe these a good time also, and that if we make good use of this free time allocated to us by COVID19 we could improve ourselves in lots of ways.
Which is why i want to discuss with you today some healthy activities or habits we could pick during our stay at home which could end up improving us in lots of ways.
Yes, all across the globe now e-learning has become the -ish as all level of education from kindergarten to the university level are migrating to online studies for their students in an effort to enforce social distancing protocols and halt the spread of the virus. But One way or the other we have more spare time on our hands now, why? Because the probability that you would go hangout with friends after a lecture is almost close to zero, lots our social gathering activities are no longer in place, you do not have church service, you do not have clubbing and you do not have friends hangout. So why not pick a course of a skill you had wished for a long time to have enough time to learn. I would suggest coursera.org, edx.com or alison.com.
Let me tell you how much online courses have helped me perhaps it would motivate you to actually give it a try. In my first year in the university i really had a hard time getting used to the study pattern which was so much different from high school and so i took this course on coursera on learning how to learn, and with the help of the new learning skills acquired i was able to easily navigate my way through learning and extra-curricular whiles still remaining an excellent student. What i realized is that there is the right way to do anything and it is the reason why knowledge is precious. I am currently enrolled in a writing course which i can vehemently confirm that it has improved not only writing skills but my lexicon in general. So do not just do "ADIDAS" or waste of the time doing practically nothing. Pick a skill you want to master, pick a course that will aid you and try it out. You may even get it for free, who knows.
Lots of us had one or two thing going already before we were asked to stay home, i mean, take me for instance, i am an organist or should i say pianist? (Honestly, sometimes it confuses me more than it does to you, so don't worry) . Well in simple terms i play the keyboard, i was doing this before the pandemic started, and so whiles i had studies and extra-curricular going on i had my gift to also harness but i realize that there wasn't ever enough time to do all these and really have time for learning pieces id rather know to play. So as part of my Quarantine Days Act, i am seeking to improve upon myself, this is the best time to learn all the difficult classical pieces i have always wanted to be able to play, am even thinking of trying some jazz for variety and variation, am trying so many things on the keyboard and i am certain that by the time social gathering ban is removed i will be more confident behind the piano. This is what am suggesting you my reader. You know what you gift or talent is, the time to harness it is now, if you have not discovered your too then i'd rather you use this time to try so many things at a go and see which you really love and comes extremely easy for and there you go. You are there. So once again, i would say, work on yourself, it is important now more than every considering the world we are headed in. Thank me later yeah.
Now when i say this, i actually mean it. lol. I can go on and on about how much the block-chain has improved my life financially and in writing wise, how much it has helped my projects etc but then am sure many people have more testimonies than i do, cmon, i have been here for just what 2 years? But on a more serious note, with these free times on you hand spend more time on the blockchain, write more, earn some more for the future, powerup if you so wish, make withdrawals if you are displaced from work as i am and have to stay hope, at least it is something to keep you going. These are hard times and not many are privileged like you and i to have had access to this blockchain, a wonderful place where you happily write about what makes you happy and still earn from it. In Ghana it is estimated that one need but 1 dollar to be fed for a day, and yet the hunger and poverty rates keep sky rocketing especially now in these hard times. A dollar that you may not so much respect is more than enough to feed someone for a day or even more than a day. So do not let this opportunity go waste, because i can assure you the more you write, the more you learn and even if you make mistakes you learn from them and it improves you. Engage, comment some more, become friends with others form communities and support groups and grow together. Remember that Hard Work truly pays, and if you do not give up eventually you will succeed. It will take a while but you will eventually get there. So once again. Spend some meaningful on the blockchain and surely you will be rewarded.
So that's what i have for you today, i hope you got something from it, do not forget to share you comments and thoughts below. It has been a pleasure and a privilege been here, i hope we continue to grow bigger and better. Have a wonderful time.
