A Promising Future Awaits You

 the uncertain future is positive ...

It's almost one year into Covid-19 & there are still no clear signs that "all shalt pass"

However, while many has gotten used to the new normal; adopt & adapt to survive & prosper

There is the untold stress of being locked-in but it's loosening ... to allow breathing & social spaces

There are no brave people in the heat of the disease spreading - Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed -
Isaiah 26:20

Defying Nature is everyone's folly ; the earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, wild fires, floods

Avoid the paths of wrath & live to see another day; GOD willing

辛苦 心不能苦  活在当下  雨过天晴

The successful people use lull time to upskill, reskill, learn another trade or refine his skillsets

Be ready, be prepared, stay calm & sharpen up your knowledge & applications & when opportunities present, pounced

Time & tides wait for no man & passes whether its happy, sad or wild

The crack of daylight is the brightest just as drops of water in the desert saves lives

The wise lives to tell a tale while the fool's word-worthy is crafted on the stone 

One breathes on while the other had his last breath

留得青山在 不怕没柴烧

 

The world's economy has collapsed & shrunk 

Few countries, if any, will end the year positive but...

That's only normal after years of expansion except for the speed of shrinking is calamitous & impactful

Singapore is no exception but its a "blessing in disguise"; SG was late to innovate & adopt newer, revolutionary techs, AI, eCommerce & medi-techs & with global slowdown and the US/China tradewars, many overseas companies are resettling onto our soil to benefit from our near neutral position

Policy makers will do well to allow more leeway to innovate and adapt & be less paternalistic with rules & Bye-laws. The future is here & most companies are highly mobile... eSolutions will make the world more borderless 

Any dogma to remain unchanged or to police paternalistically will only send NewTechs away from our shores

The printing of (paper) monies will usher in inflation & gold may again reign

Worse, stagflation will kill an already slow global economy
 

Forget the past & begin again

英雄不谈当年勇

A wholly new working ecosystem will evolve after Covid where fewer days are spent in office & work from home rules

The need to commute (transport)  will ease and self-contained township development becomes a new norm : the vertical city will emerge where commerce meets residential meets leisure

Landscape changes include how food is distributed, processed & consumed; pre-prepared, prepacked & ready to serve packages distributed by AI-driverless delivery will be the norm

Safehaven countries with political stability will prosper

It's not a time to rejoice but definitely a time to adjust to a new normal

When the whole world is suffering the same fate, there is no need to bury in sorrows 

Innovate into a whole new world where internet rules & be prepared

In any event, if a war breaks out, it will be the war to end all wars

After half the global population is nuke-off, the world will be a better place as the/a lesson well taught will be well learnt

Are you prepared? A promising future awaits you
