Reflections and learnings of a continuing pandemic survivor

IT is fast coming up to the second anniversary of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It has been a wild, seemingly endless roller-coaster ride: From leaders and individuals not having all the answers to the multitude of questions on the effects of Covid on humans, to the pandemic's impact on countries and economies, to how one can best survive this once-in-a-century challenge with lives and livelihoods intact. To be candid, many (if not all of us) had - and are possibly still having - feelings of being nervous, anxious, overstretched and even overwhelmed.

Personally, the past months have been teaching me an important life lesson: The importance of listening to others and myself.
