COVID is both a crisis and opportunity for us. I have always admired Margaret Thatcher, the first woman Prime Minster of Great Britain. To me as a young girl, she was the epitome of an effective speaker capable of influencing lives and initiating positive change. Her famous line, “The lady’s not for turning” was viewed not just as sending a message to her opponents but gripped her audience’s attention.

When Covid struck, I found myself like many others, under a lot of pressure. Apart from the usual worries, I was also concerned about the long quarantine period and more importantly, the worry about how would I grow personally, during this period.
