Change is something we want but fear and right now change is inevitable. Since the lockdown a lot has changed, how we work, how we eat, how we relate to people. Actually everything has changed.  This we know. I now find it very wrong to be waiting for the lockdown to end then go back to how things were, the thing is that things are definitely not going back to how they were. Personally I think we need to be on our toes  finding great things to do online because that's there only platform we can roam around and minding the law and regulations governing the lockdown. We shouldn't be just on survival mode but we need to find life and adjust to this change. Is it now that we have to embrace the present because we don't know what tomorrow holds.  We don't know if President Ramaohosa will extent the lockdown by another two weeks or months, we really don't know. Amid all difficulties let's find life and embrace it.

Let's get to the future of Work. If you are less than 25 years of age do not do any administration work courses.  If you are unemployed and have been in the past two years. You are unemployable, things have changed, technology has advanced and new skills will be in demand, skills that needs complex problem solving. We are moving from a world that needs physical efforts. Question is are we ready for such a drastic change? Skills that enable workers to design, build and work alongside with technological systems will be in high demand. We are so used to buying and paying for everything , how are we going to do this if we have no money? Does this mean we need to go back to being agricultural ?  Do we even have the land to do that? And I am not talking about hectares of land but a 2-10 meters to plant veggies? Since we live in flats and in the cities? However, people that do computer science , mathematical and engineering will be more in d...

What is your understanding of a revolution? Here is something to indulge in. Revolution- A sudden, vast change in a situation, a discipline or the way of thinking or behaving. As we are about to enter into a lockdown in South Africa as a measure to prevent the spread of Corona virus.  Take  some time and read on revolution, from the agrarian age up to the recent and advanced technological advancement. This is a very interesting read and should be a way to encourage us to prepare for what is to come.

South Africa is in crisis and no matter how ignorant you are, you know that we are in chaos.First we are still dealing with power failure which costs us a lot of production time and we are losing money.  Now as small businesses we struggle to make ends meet due to not having an alternative source of power we find it hard to run and make money. The sad reality is that this will be going on for some time. This is a national problem minding the technical recession we are in. But we need to persist and be innovative on how we go about finding alternative power.  How do we maintain business in such hard times? And just as we are recovering from load-shedding. We are told of Corona virus. This pandemic is freaking us out and people are told to stay at home but how realistic is that.? It is day 2 of not going anywhere but I have had enough. Business has not opened in the past two days and I am feeling the load already. Like what are we supposed to...
