Peep into the rear-view mirror – Always focus on where you are headed but, now and then look back to see how far you have come.
We have felt a lot of emotions in the last year, let us just get over it by stating that 2020 was a tumultuous year for most of us.
The circus of emotions that got everyone worried of what next? is this end or the beginning of some thing new? The stories of loss and happiness that had us glued together. For a many of us it marked the end of way we perceived things and start of some thing new. New Normal was the way forward and people had to evolve around it.
No No we are not anywhere close to K-T event for human species but, nature sure did manage to get a bite of our rear when we least expected. Why were we so careless?? Well for start, 2020 was supposed to be the showcase year when we leapt into the 21st century. It was supposed to be year of many FIRST’s, break through innovation, technological leaps and show case year of human achievement. YES! we did leapfrog the human achievement by developing the COVID Vaccine in record time (necessitated by very need of time) but it was a year of blunt reminders how fragile we all are.
Then again, we did have a fair share of one in millennium star gazing moments that would resonate with us for a long time, cause never in the history of human evolution have we been stopped in our tracks like this.
The big learning that we all need to take is to get up and move ahead keeping the foot gently on the gas pedal & now and then glance in the rear-view mirror of what all we have learned from Mr. Torrid 2020.
