The crisis does not require human beings but to predict its existence, and to stand firm to confront it with creative and simple ideas.
The slogan I love most in life is the slogan of the scouts “Always be prepared”, or “Always be prepared”; For me, crises are a problem that can be solved. But humans are unable to solve it because they are not sufficiently prepared for it. Exactly as the Corona crisis surprised the world; Although there were solutions to it, things got worse due to the lack of preparation to face the crisis, exactly as the internet was cut off before the deadline for the handover of your tasks - this is what really happened to me - or anything unplanned happened, and so on.
The most important (10) steps that must be followed to face any crisis
1- Frame the crisis
The first thing to know when dealing with crises is to study the crisis from all sides. Health crises will not only affect the health side; But it will affect all aspects of life; Therefore, you should look at crises in a general and comprehensive perspective in order to be able to find quick solutions to overcome them.
2- Deal with the crisis steadily
The worst thing that people can do is to be unhappy in times of crisis; Dealing with emotional stability when exposed to crises will help a lot in understanding the crisis and its dimensions, and then finding a way to deal with it properly.
3- Avoid ineffective steps
This point is related to the previous one, and unfortunately it occurs due to dealing with crises randomly and improvised. We see some people make wrong decisions to deal with the crisis in the short term, while ways to solve the crisis from its roots were available to them, but they did not pay attention to it because of their limited thinking and superficial vision.
4- Do not be pessimistic
When experiencing a crisis, forget the feelings of pessimism once and for all. Because negative thoughts will impede your thinking, and prevent it from moving forward in the search for strategic solutions to the crisis.
5- Don't ignore the crisis
I told you in my article on Corona that my dissatisfaction with the World Health Organization stemmed from its ignorance of the crisis at its beginning, and that it should have declared a state of emergency and recognized the corona as a global epidemic after it moved to Japan and the countries neighboring China. That is why I am convinced that the crisis is like a snowball at the top of a mountain; The more we paid attention and stood in its way from the start and did not ignore it, the more we could control it and control its aftershocks.
6- Know that a crisis is a matter of time
The first thing that you have to think about when experiencing a crisis is to be fully convinced that it will be past for you in a month, two, or even a year. Crises, no matter how severe and cruel, will not be able to break the laws of the universe and continue with people forever.
7- Do not isolate yourself
Do you remember the saying "Don't be like ostriches and bury your head in the sand"? This saying was made in order to urge people to stand tall in the face of shocks. That is why people must be confrontational, and not evade crises.
8- Think outside the box
In Dr. Ihab Fikry's book, when he was talking about thinking outside the box, he mentioned the story of one of the workers who gave the factory the idea of placing fans in front of soap bottles to get rid of the empty boxes before putting them in his factory cartons. This method saved the factory huge money and preserved its reputation. So you can be assured that any crisis does not need complicated solutions to deal with it; Most crises are not solved except with simple solutions.
9- Make the effort
In my opinion, the crisis is exactly the same as an exam. There is no success except through serious deliberation and diligent work, as well as crises, we will not be able to find solutions to them until after striving hard to test each of the proposed solutions to find out which one is suitable to eliminate them completely.
10- Don't give up
Surrender is not just about success and failure; But it is also linked to life in general. Imagine what would happen if doctors and researchers failed to research and develop new real estate? Surely the fate of mankind will perish. So we should never give up and leave things as they are under the pretext that we did everything we could; Because life always brings solutions, and is on the side of those who never give up.
Finally
We should view the crisis as a test to measure our resilience and resilience; Crises are not only affliction, but they hide many positive things in their folds. The Corona crisis has restored humanity's relationship to the kinship, helping others, increasing family bonding, and giving people many lessons and lessons, including looking at Muslim women in a different way Nature has become more beautiful than it was before, and the interest in healthy eating and exercise have become the habits of young people, and so on.
From the above, we can say that the crisis does not require human beings but to predict its existence, and to stand firm to confront it with creative and simple ideas.
