Tisayende Zambiri.

Mwina sindiyenera kuyenda kwambiri. Mwina palibe aliyense wa ife amene amatero.

Kumayambiriro kwa November ndinalankhula ku Singapore. Ndipo potero, ndikutanthauza kuti ndinadumpha galasi langa la vinyo nditatha kudya kuti ndikhale maso nthawi ya 10 PM pamene ndinakhala pa intaneti kuti ndilankhule za kasamalidwe ka nyanja monga gawo la gulu.

Inde, popeza ndidayamba tsiku lomwelo ndikukambirana ndi anzanga ku Europe 7 am, kupereka moyo usiku kunali kodzipereka. Koma, mliri wa COVID-19 usanachitike komanso njira zopewera chitetezo, kuti ndikalankhule ngati izi, ndikadanyamuka kupita ku Singapore kwa mausiku angapo, momwemonso pazokambirana zomwe ndidakhala nazo ndi anthu m'makontinenti angapo m'mbuyomu. masabata angapo. Ndipotu, ndinali kuthera kupitirira theka la chaka ndilibe kwathu. Poyang’ana ndandanda yanga yakale yoyendayenda tsopano kuchokera ku kawonedwe katsopano kameneka, ndikuzindikira kuti maulendo onga amenewo anali nsembe yeniyeni kwa ine, banja langa, ndi dziko lapansi.

Kuyambira mu Marichi, ndazindikira kuti pa foni yanga pali mapulogalamu ambiri omwe sindigwiritsanso ntchito, mamapu a eyapoti, maulendo apandege, mapulogalamu a hotelo, ndi mapulogalamu owuluka pafupipafupi. Ndasiya kulembetsa kumasamba oyendayenda chifukwa sindinafune ndalama zilizonse kuti nditalikitse bajeti yathu yoyendera. Koma ntchito zoteteza zachilengedwe sizinayime. Ndipotu, kwa ine, wakhala dalitso lodzibisa.

Ngakhale kuti sindinakhalepo ndi vuto lalikulu ndi jet lag, machitidwe anga ogona amakhala osasinthasintha. Ndipo, ndimatha kukhala ndi nthawi yochulukirapo kunyumba ndi banja. Ndipotu, ndimakhala ndi nthawi yambiri pa chilichonse.

Ngakhale ndi zida zonse zomwe ndili nazo ngati wowuluka pafupipafupi komanso otchedwa wankhondo wamsewu, ndimadikirira Lyft kapena Uber kuti apite ku eyapoti, kudikirira kuti ndiyang'ane ndege yanga, kudikirira kuti ndidutse chitetezo, kudikirira kukwera. ndege, dikirani mwa miyambo ndi anthu othawa kwawo, nthawi zina amadikirira katundu ndiyeno dikirani taxi, dikirani kulembetsa hotelo ndikudikirira kulembetsa msonkhano. Kuyerekeza kwanga ndikuti zonsezi zimawonjezera maola awiri paulendo woyima pamzere. Izi zikutanthauza kuti ndinali kuthera pafupifupi masiku 10 ogwira ntchito pachaka ndikungoima pamzere!

Inde, palinso chakudya. Mwa tanthawuzo, misonkhano iyenera kudyetsa anthu ambiri nthawi imodzi-chakudyacho chikhoza kukhala chabwino, koma sizomwe ndingasankhe, monga chakudya cha ndege. Kusatenga maulendo apandege opita kumisonkhano kumatanthauzanso kuti mayesero ambiri ophonya. Ndamva kuchokera kwa ogwira nawo ntchito kuti akupeza kuti akupumula kwambiri, komanso amadzimva kuti atha kutenga nawo mbali patali ndikukhalabe ogwira mtima.

Ndinali kuthera kupitirira theka la chaka ndilibe kwathu. Poyang'ana ndondomeko yanga yakale yoyendayenda tsopano kuchokera ku malingaliro atsopanowa, ndikuzindikira kuti maulendo ... anali nsembe yeniyeni kwa ine, banja langa, ndi dziko lapansi.

Ndikuvomereza kuti ndimakonda kuyenda. Ndimakonda ngakhale ndege, ma eyapoti komanso kuwuluka. Ndimaphonyanso kukaonanso malo omwe ndimakonda, kuwona malo atsopano, kudya zakudya zatsopano, kuphunzira zikhalidwe zatsopano — moyo wa m’misewu, malo akale, zojambulajambula ndi kamangidwe kake. Ndipo, ndimaphonyadi kucheza ndi anzanga ndi anzanga pamisonkhano ndi misonkhano-pali chinachake chapadera pa chakudya chogawana ndi zochitika zina (zabwino ndi zoipa) zomwe zimamanga mgwirizano pakati pa chikhalidwe ndi kusiyana kwina. Tonse timavomereza kuti timaphonya zinthu zambirimbiri zomwe zimachitika poyenda—ndipo sindimakhulupirira kuti tonsefe tiyenera kuzisiyiratu.

Koma ulendowu umabwera pamtengo womwe umaposa kusokoneza kugona, zakudya zopanda thanzi, komanso nthawi yoyendera. Ndikapanda kuyenda, mpweya wanga umatsika ndipo ndicho chinthu chabwino kwa aliyense. Sindingakane kuti nyanja yomwe ndadzipereka kuti nditeteze komanso dziko lonse lapansi limakhala bwino pamene gawo langa la mphindi 12 la gulu la mphindi 60 liperekedwa kudzera pa Zoom kapena nsanja zina zapaintaneti. Ngakhale magulu ena onse pamsonkhanowo ali ofunikira kwa ine komanso ntchito yanga yapanyanja, ndipo ngakhale nditachotsa mpweya wapaulendo ndikuyika ndalama pakubwezeretsanso malo ovuta am'nyanja, ndibwino kuti ndisapange. utsi mu malo oyamba.

Pokambirana ndi anzanga, tonse tikuwoneka kuti tikuvomereza kuti uwu ndi mwayi woyesa zochita zathu kuposa momwe tinalili kale. Mwina titha kuphunzirapo kanthu kuchokera ku COVID-19 ndi malire okakamizidwa paulendo wathu. Titha kuchitabe ntchito yophunzitsa, kulimbikitsa luso, kuphunzitsa komanso kuchita nawo madera atsopano. Tikhozabe kuchita nawo maphunziro, kumvetsera, ndi kukambirana zomwe zingatheke ndi zomwe ziyenera kuchitidwa pofuna ubwino wa nyanja, ndi zotsatira zoipa zochepa pa zachilengedwe zomwe tikugwira ntchito kuti tibwezeretse. Ndipo, misonkhano yapaintaneti imeneyi imapatsa mwayi kwa omwe ali ndi zida zochepa kuti athe kutenga nawo mbali pazochitika zambiri - kukulitsa zokambirana zathu ndikukulitsa kufikira kwathu.

Sindingakane kuti nyanja yomwe ndadzipereka kuti nditeteze komanso dziko lonse lapansi limakhala bwino pamene gawo langa la mphindi 12 la gulu la mphindi 60 liperekedwa kudzera…

Pomaliza, ndikukumana ndi zabwino pamisonkhano ndi misonkhano yapaintaneti — zomwe zimandidabwitsa monga phindu lokhala pamalo amodzi nthawi zonse. Ndimakhala wolumikizana kwambiri, nthawi zambiri, ndi gulu la anthu ku Europe, Africa, Asia ndi Latin America ndi Caribbean ngakhale kudzera pazithunzi zomwe zimangozungulira. Kukambitsirana kumeneko sikudikiranso ulendo wina ndikakhala pa msonkhano womwewo kapena ulendo wina ndikadzapita ku mzinda wawo. Maukonde akumva amphamvu ndipo titha kuchita zinthu zabwino zambiri - ngakhale ndikuvomereza kuti maukondewo adamangidwa movutikira kwazaka zambiri, ndipo ndi amphamvu chifukwa cha zokambirana zapanjira, mwa munthu amacheza pa khofi kapena vinyo, inde, ngakhale ataima pamzere. .

Kuyang'ana m'tsogolo, ndili wokondwa kuwona ogwira ntchito ku TOF, Board, Advisors, ndi gulu lathu lalikulu panonso. Ndikudziwa kuti ulendo wabwino ukuyembekezera. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, ndazindikira kuti zomwe ndimaganiza kuti ndi malangizo abwino amphamvu odziwira "mayendedwe ofunikira" zinali zosakwanira. Sitinabwere ndi njira zatsopanozi, koma tikudziwa kuti ntchito yabwino ya gulu lathu ndi dera lathu likhoza kupitiriza ngati tonse tidzipereka kuti tithandize kupeza pa intaneti ndikuchita zonse zomwe tingathe panyanja pazochitika zathu zonse.
