Dear CoVid19 Country Lock-down diary - Day 5



Dear CoVid19 Country Lock-down diary - Day 5



I woke up reflective but relatively OK with the state of things. I enjoyed some music, which as you know, for me is another of my love languages.. and universally a tool known to connect people.

I have been consuming the news and updates at intervals instead of listening attentively throughout the day. It's just easier for me this way. I get to understand where things are without becoming too overcome or overwhelmed by the status of this virus with its gross impact. 

I got to do a few things and, while I am clear about whose opinions I listen to these days, I then received a call from a significant person whose opinion matters to me. Post the conversation I felt, what if -
 even with money and access, just what if we no longer have supplies because of global shortages? What if "life" decides money isn't the deciding factor any longer?


Anyway all these questions. Let's just pray and work however best we can in this time. I have been working non stop and been praying equally, if not more, non stop. I am fortunate my work ethic has me still working on deals in this time and with iconic business leaders. I feel blessed too. Lets see.

 Lastly -

I received these great things to do from the comfort of your home. ENJOY and lets take nothing for granted. Save amenities, plant veg gardens, store and preserve. As always, use water wisely ...

Signing off. M

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
