Change language:
Today, all of us are experiencing a tough period. The worldwide crisis caused by coronavirus will remain etched in our memories for a long time. Not only due to the necessary restrictions introduced in most of the countries in order to prevent the spread of the pandemic; but also due to its social consequences, as a result of which several factors in our lives including health, time, money, work, education etc. require different attitude than before.
In order to preserve our health and get through this critical period as soon as possible, we should obey the safety rules and – if possible – stay at home. In this dramatic situation, we would like to encourage our Dear Readers with some positive thoughts that might brighten some minutes of our days spent in home quarantine.
1. More free time
Under normal circumstances, the majority of people race against time.
‘Beating the clock’ has become a fashionable social disease by now; however, this period shows us the importance of slowing down a bit and enables us to spend more time with our loved ones.
Due to our rushing lifestyle, we tend to neglect our favourite hobbies and preferred activities, but here is the opportunity to catch up on everything.
2. On the way of development
In the middle of March, the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán announced that Hungary’s public education will be converted to digital education. The announcement concerned millions of people – besides children staying at home, their parents and teachers also had to restructure their daily lives. As the Hungarian news portal divany.hu reports, the introduction of online education had already been planned; however, due to the extraordinary situation of coronavirus, its realisation has been speeded up. Thanks to the persistent Hungarian teacher community, online education has been successfully introduced in most of the cases.
The digitalisation enables students to learn together in virtual groups, following the learning materials available on online platforms.
We must clarify that the transition process was not that easy; it required discipline from all the participants; however, during this short period, the education system has made significant progress.
Due to the restrictions, the majority of employers have taken similar actions by the introduction of the home office. This experience can lead to the long-term transformation of the previous structure, realising that employers do not have to maintain huge offices in order to provide smooth workflow; furthermore, the home atmosphere might improve employee performance in some cases.
By the end of this period, home office might become part of the work schedule at least 1-2 times a week.
3. Increased creativity
Besides education and work, creativity has improved significantly in several other areas. Everyone intends to adapt to the unprecedented situation that has arisen. After the first shock, the majority of entrepreneurs started to search for some solution by which their product could become available in the online space as well.
