Like the saying “life is unpredictable”, the COVID-19 pandemic came unexpectedly and changed the world from what we used to know to what it is now.

We were all looking forward to 2020 to be a great year. The phrase "VISION2020" was everywhere. We would never have thought that 2020 would be one hell of a ride. The pandemic hit the world hard, and every sector and everyone was affected. 2020 was a challenging year for everyone; some people lost their friends and/or family, and some lost their jobs. Most of us become confined in our homes during the pandemic, just like prisoners. The pandemic caused social, economic, and political disruptions, which led to fundamental changes in almost every aspect of our lives and every industry.

During the pandemic, we all came to the realization that when the pandemic is over, life won’t return to how we once knew it. The pandemic was a reawakening period for everyone; it made us understand that the world can change at any time, and we have to learn to survive and change with time and seasons. Otherwise, others will move on, and you will be left behind. The pandemic should spark a change in you, and if you didn’t come out of the pandemic a changed person, then something may be wrong.
