Lockdown as Opportunity

         Due to sudden lockdown, it disturbed me slightly but I was fully confident that in every crisis I have proved myself. This was the time to think differently, working from home 1-2 days is fine but this was a global change that changed the way for everyone including me.

        In such a situation keeping your mind with positive thought is important. While thinking in silence I remembered one advice of my project guide during my final year engineering which he explained to me as, 

“God has given everyone different color, different looks, and different personalities, but there is one common thing that God has given to everyone, the 24 hours. The person who utilizes this time effectively that decides his destiny”.

 My regular cricket playing was completely stopped & here it was that time which I can utilize to learn new skills at the weekend.

Luckily my company talent development team started many industry best practice courses to use make of time so I have started with small courses. In meantime, I was thinking some big and finally opted to upgrade my skills for highest level certifications ITIL4 Expert (ITIL4 MPT) and finally putting my all efforts in the weekend completed 30 hours of training & later successfully completed certification. My success was not possible without motivation from my boss also.

I feel when lockdown will be over skills requirement will be very much different and for sure my upgraded skills will help to showcase my knowledge in a rapidly changing environment. It is always good to become a better version of yourself.

Finally my message to all,

“If you don’t come out of this quarantine with:

New Skills

Your Side hustle started

More knowledge

You never lacked time, you lacked discipline”
