Stay Resilient and Motivated amid COVID-19

Stay Resilient and Motivated amid COVID-19

Even though the epidemic in Hong Kong appears to be receding, the economy and the outlook still remain challenging going ahead. Therefore, what can wage earners do about the threats and stress of salary reductions, unpaid leave, and even layoffs?

Long ago, Mencius, a Chinese Confucian philosopher, shared his thoughts on adversity, “When heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first fill his heart with suffering, toil his sinews and bones…” Mencius was pointing out his belief that people who succeed will first have to refine and polish themselves, both physically and spiritually, before making a breakthrough.

This epidemic has led us all through many ups and downs, so why not take this time as an opportunity for self-reflection and self-improvement? For example, you could discover some new interests; like interior design or enhance your English PR writing skills and maybe become a freelance writer. Or you could jump way out of your comfort zone and become a “Slashie”. Perhaps you fancy being a data analyst, or a photographer, a programmer, a sports coach, a counsellor, or maybe all of them at the same time. Because, in the post-COVID world, the more skills you can draw on, the better your outlook is going to be.

But one thing to remember is that no matter what adversities we face, we all write the stories of our own lives. A first step could be tuning in to our School’s “Level Up” Series of online talks starting on 23 May. Perhaps you will be inspired by the first speaker, Ms Akina Fong Kin-yee, the renowned media and public relations expert? She will share her experiences of getting through the crisis and offer tips on how you can turn challenges into opportunities and get started on a new chapter of your story.

疫市下,不頽不廢不氣餒

雖然近日香港疫情稍為緩和,但疫市下的經濟和就業前景仍相當嚴峻。面對放無薪假、減薪,甚至裁員的壓力,打工仔可以如何化危為機?

孟子在數千年前對抗逆已有獨特見解:「天將降大任於斯人也,必先苦其心志,勞其筋骨,餓其體膚……」成大事之人必須先經過一番磨練,方能砥礪身心,突破界限。

儘管疫市讓我們經歷浮沉,何不將此視爲自省自强的機遇?您可藉此機會,發掘自己興趣,或有機會踏上室內設計之路;亦可增值英語公關傳訊技巧,以自由人身份,為不同企業撰寫新聞稿突圍。您更可嘗試轉型,成為鈄槓一族,既是數據分析師,又是攝影師程式員運動教練輔導員等,讓工作更有彈性,增加自己的價值。

人生由您編寫,無論抗疫還是抗逆,必須坐言起行。學院於本月23日起推出「打工仔疫境求進系列」免費網上專題講座,不妨參考一下嘉賓的經驗,如何令自己在疫境中自強求進。首講邀得多媒體傳媒工作者方健儀女士「開live」,以「不頽不廢不氣餒」為題,分享她在疫市下面對的困境及應對方法,讓您在動盪中蓄勢前行,疫流而上。
