A and B People from COVID-19

With the lockdown from COVID-19, it is very obvious to see the good quality people from the bad ones.

B PEOPLE - DO NOTHING

Those that treat the lockdown of no need to work and still get paid (although less, but it is okay because of no need to work) from their employer and in Singapore, from the Singapore government (each person gets $600 cash on 18 April 2020) as a pure holiday.  Actually, since January 2020, the whole economy is very slow and their work was already much less as compared to 2019. But nevertheless, they treat this as their well-deserved holiday. 

They may stay at home and get entertained the whole day from the many free channels offered by Starhub and Singtel.  Some stay at home and get glued to COVID-19 news and videos, busy forwarding such news to people on WhatsApp and social media a few times an hour.  They know that 99.9% of such news are fake, but they are good news and they feel that by forwarding such news to people they are saving mankind. 

Some go to supermarkets and stock up on beer and tidbits and enjoy themselves whole day long.  Some sleep a lot (wake up at 10 am and take 2 to 3 naps during the day). 

Some get political and start criticising and making fun of what their governments have done or are doing. They derive much fun from talking about such things. 

The reason the above people do the above is not their fault. They were told that this COVID-19 will last another year, and the lockdown could be extended for long periods of time.  They also read that the rest of the world is also like that, so why do anything differently?  Also, the governments keep on telling them to stay at home, and they are doing that diligently. Isn't these what we are supposed to do? 

Of course, these people did not read or don't bother on what China and Wuhan are doing now: they are back to work and enjoying a mini-boom in the economy.  They also didn't realise that China and Wuhan took 73 days from lock-down to normal and what happened to China could also happen to their home too. 

A PEOPLE - MORE BUSY THAN BEFORE

These people do the following:

1. Convert their work from offline to online and still work as much as before. For example, my company conducts online seminars every day via Zoom and Facebook Live. In fact, I am busier now as I have to also complete my second book on WeChat. 
2. Learn everything they can online, be it to improve their work (like PDPA courses, WeChat). I downloaded many ebooks to read. I also want to finish watching YouTube videos on Yijing. Many trainers including myself are now conducting free or small-fee seminars on Zoom.  You can learn how to use Zoom properly from my other article at the links below
3. Help out people online, like sharing their expertise for free. Every day I write one to two articles on this blog site www.AndyNgTrainer.blogspot.sg 
4. Use this golden opportunity to catch up on housework, tidy up their house, get close to their children and family or just do some quiet thinking.  Every day I talk to myself more and got many inspirations from the world. 
5. Plan for post-COVID.  To me after 5 May 2020, the world will be very different and will not go back to the past, you can read my article on this. 

Let me know if you belong to the A or B people.  Thank you. Related articles:
