Play your A-game when times are tough. Instead of wasting your time watching the news, scrolling infinite messages on social media, or just doing the gossiping, focus on what you have to do. Be responsible and don’t forward any messages unless you have verified them yourselves.
You can’t change anything by wasting time, but you surely would do something creative if you are focused on what you should actually be doing.
No, I am not saying don’t be empathetic or don’t worry about the people in the world or the people around you. In fact, I am saying that instead of worrying, support them in whatever you can, if not, pray for their well-being, as that’s what we should do being the humans. And also do your work because that’s what you should be doing to uplift the morale of the people around and to really add positivity in the world.
If you are doing sales, do the sales, if you are writing the code, write the code, if you are an HR, do the job. Let’s support humanity by being productive.
