19 the social isolation of the epidemic is forcing the people of the world, Mike COVID. Is so afraid of being alone. What do you say to these people? What did you do during solo experiences with social distance trips?
Of course, this is very disturbing for people in crisis. Ultimately, it forced us to get out fast-paced, there is a moment from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Us closely interconnected, it’s not that easy in a dynamic world. Also look us some time for ourselves because it gives a positive effect on social distance, you can. Time intensive we can use. For me, there was always something very satisfying social isolation himself. Only this time concentrate on myself and find answers to the many questions it raises for me is completely personal to me gave me the chance. Best to realize their goals and dreams or when I’m alone, today I know without any distraction.
Then social distance is not a threat instead of an opportunity.
Yes. Social isolation need to be afraid of if I think it’s not if you know what are the possibilities that brings. This hour, except involuntary covid 19-outbreak-is because the existing social distance. Instead, to set new goals, be creative, you can use the time to think about your own life and personal development. Perhaps this may be the first step to perform in their own way life and new dreams.
Do you have any tips for living in social isolation? Affected what do you recommend?
My advice to all the people of social isolation: to be creative, to be alone and I enjoy doing things you’ve never done before. Now have the freedom and time to do this. Us this time being creative now is up to you. Positive, to stay motivated, here and now, for the future only lives in the past. So many beautiful moments of life now and always remember us in the future.
Currently the Home Office is close to day care centers and schools and many families and children have to take care of. This large species. How do you cope with the extreme difficulties in general and how much do you see?
This concern, this really is a big problem. The best way to get the job done at the same time patiently with their children to get care and it’s not easy. At best, as comfortable as possible, you must handle this new situation. People you must put yourself under too much pressure. Try to see the situation as a problem that can lead to positive change is quite new. Finally, themselves and their challenges, it’s not too bad. On the contrary, our work with new and creative approaches to make us strong and may cause. As I passed, for example, the north polar sea, many uncertainties about the weather and rough seas I had to ask myself. Motivated me, I loved the suspense because you have to find new and creative solutions every day.
You existing insulation for your home in Switzerland, discovery different from what you experienced in?
Currently Château-d, I’m in Switzerland. For a traveler like me, this is the perfect place to be isolated. My house stands alone, fields and forests, perfect for the upcoming adventure with the environment is by train. In fact, many more during discovery, it was different. Here in the Alps, to be honest, the air is better than at the poles.
How is that in the long run (even in the short term), the company will change your opinion during this crisis?
We can’t be completely sure that society will never change. Maybe this whole epidemic is over immediately when can we get to our normal lives? Some of us in this extraordinary experience that integrates the positive aspects of your daily life would be a shame, I hope you. Of daily life is slow for me. Ourselves and our families, take time for new ideas, creative and constantly re-evaluate what needs to be done and we must continue to isn’t it. Maybe it is better to avoid excessive consumption of local and we’re here to show solidarity after the crisis at the international level.
What do you have to give rise to transfer difficulties for families in the House?
Everyone to be creative, find new solutions and to build a new life and the good of society I believe it is possible in this case because I want to encourage people. Take the daily challenges previously unknown personal problems. I’m trying to find together the best solutions for all parties. I know it’s not always possible for me to stay motivated. With discipline you can overcome the problems of everyday life.
Mike, thank you for taking the time.
