Daar is die van ons wat oorwegend die gemak van sekerheid en seker wees geniet. En dan kry jy die van ons wat daarvan hou om die risiko te neem en die lewe met al sy onsekerhede aan te durf. Met eersgenoemde bedoel ek daardie werk of loopbaan wat jy al vir jare doen of volg. Die werk of loopbaan waar jy nie bekommerd hoef te wees oor jou oudag nie, want die pensioen sal daar wees. Laasgenoemde groep wil losbreek van die normale en uiting gee aan die inherente kreatiwiteit en skeppingsvermo\u00ebns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met albei scenario\u2019s is daar natuurlik geen fout nie. Dit is nou maar eenmaal so en sal so bly voortbestaan. Ek is gefassineer deur \u2019n paar eenvoudige opmerkings wat \u2019n jongman onlangs met \u2019n groep lesers gedeel het. Hierin is hy van mening dat nie almal van ons bestem is om noodwendig deur konvensionele opleidingsinstansies die suksesleer te klim nie. Dat daar ook die van ons is wat deur eie inisiatief en kreatiewe vaardighede ook dieselfde sukses kan en mag proe. Sy verdere opmerkings om sy standpunt te verdedig, lui dat albei die konvensionele en onkonvensionele manier van doen onderhewig is aan bepaalde beginsels. Dit sluit onder meer in dat ambisie, harde werk en veerkragtigheid van die boustene moet wees waarop hierdie sukses gegrond moet word. Ek kon nie anders as om met hom saam te stem nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek is en sal altyd \u2019n voorstander wees van stewige skolastiese opleiding en onderrig. Tog het ek ook al die teendeel waargeneem waar mense selfs sonder hierdie onderbou \u2019n ruim mate van sukses in die lewe kon behaal. Die gelykmaker in hierdie geval is vir my die persoonlike ontdekking vir die individu om te bepaal aan watter kant van die spektrum hy of sy hom of haar bevind. Hierin l\u00ea vir my \u2019n stuk bevryding. En van die grootste gelykmakers na my mening was juis die Covid-19-pandemie wat baie van ons vriendelik uitgedaag het om anders oor ons lewensuitkyk te dink en te doen. Ek glo dat baie van ons van die een spektrum (die konvensionele) na die ander (nie-konvensionele) manier van doen moes oorskakel. Verlies van werk het daartoe gelei dat baie van ons buite die boks moes begin dink en doen om sodoende die pot aan die kook te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groot spronge van waagmoed met \u2019n gesonde dosis geloof daarby het vir baie van ons \u2019n nuwe weg gebaan en geword. Skielik is die 9-tot-5-realiteit vervang met \u2019n nuwe manier van doen. Een waarin die sekerheid van inkomste (veral finansieel) geskep moet word op kreatiewe maniere. Wat egter vir baie van ons tot nuwe insig bring, is die feit dat jy besef dat dit wat eens onmoontlik gelyk het, wel haalbaar is. Meteens maak dit nie meer sodanig saak of jy daardie graad of vier of dalk glad nie \u2019n graad, diploma of sertifikaat het nie, want jou ervaring (skolasties of nie) gekombineer met die talente en gawes wat jy besit, kan nuwe deure vir jou oopmaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My respek en agting vir albei groepe (konvensioneel of nie-konvensioneel) wat in die aangesig van \u2019n w\u00eareldwye krisis (pandemie) tot nuwe insigte gekom het oor waar jy jouself op die spektrum bevind en uiteindelik jou nuwe realiteit omarm. Al is dit net die besef dat dinge in \u2019n oogwink kan verander en alles wat bekend was en skynbaar sekerheid verskaf het in \u2019n oogwink kan verander. Of die bevrydende wegbreek, vir die eerste keer, van dit wat jou voorberei het vir \u2019n nuwe werklikheid. Weg van die bekende na dit wat jou siel uiteindelik vir jare na smag. Om te waag. Om te skep en om \u2019n nuwe stuk betekenis met ander te deel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aanpasbaarheid in uiters onseker tye is hier vir my die wagwoord. Die skep van eie en nuwe moontlikhede die doel waarna gestrewe kan word en om hierdie moontlikhede tot voordeel van die self en ander in te span. My refleksie op die afgelope twee jaar is een waarin ek met nuwe o\u00eb na myself en die w\u00eareld om my kyk. Vir die eerste keer het \u2019n jare lange sluimerende droom na vore gekom en kon die kreatiewe self begin stem dik maak. Dis minus die skynbare sekerheid van \u2019n 9-tot-5-werk. Hieroor het ek nou \u2019n groot stuk vrede, want dit wat ek nou het, sal ek nie wil verruil nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sekerheid, van wat ook al, het ek gou geleer, is vir niemand \u2019n gegewe nie. Ons moet maar daardie bron van tevredenheid en vervulling self skep. Ek lig my glas omhoog vir die van ons wat dit vind in ons 9-tot-5-realiteit of die van ons wat dit 24\/7 moet skep! In albei scenario\u2019s hoop ek dat ons gees en ingesteldheid altyd skeppend en kreatief na ons nuwe werklikheid sal kyk. En ons die waagmoed aan die dag sal l\u00ea om dinge di\u00e9 keer anders te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geskoold of minder geskoold \u2013 ons almal het dit in ons om \u2019n betekenisvolle bydrae tot ons samelewing te maak. Kom ons verrig daai wonders!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
