In exceptional times, exceptions are the rule and it seems to be a good moment to make one reflection instead of actual news.
There is a nice text circulating the Internet to give hope and optimism in these hard times due to the COVID-19 crisis; it is (most likely) wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein, so here we will simply say that what inspires humans are not the idols, celebrities or titans, but the heartfelt experiences of other fellow humans that can bring light to darkness:
Let’s not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things. A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress.
Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. It’s in crisis that inventiveness is born, as well as discoveries made and big strategies. He who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome. He who blames his failure to a crisis neglects his own talent and is more interested in problems than in solutions. Incompetence is the true crisis. The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems.
There’s no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony.
There’s no merit without crisis. It’s in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis is to promote it. Not to speak about it is to exalt conformism. Let us work hard instead. Let us stop, once and for all, the menacing crisis that represents the tragedy of not being willing to overcome it.
SCALE Nanotech recognizes this reality since creativity, challenge and crisis are part of its genetic code from its birth. We are digital, thus we adapt to changes; we are virtual, thus geography-independent; we are adaptative, thus ready for whatever future await us.
The COVID-19 crisis is a major health, social and economical threat to the whole world and, while it can affect us psychologically or emotionally, it will not stop us. The creation of SCALE Nanotech was an irrational war declaration against the status quo, against traditions, against the fear of fire, and we do not only embrace the crisis but we face it with our coat of arms, our colorful SCALE armour.
We wish you a Happy Easter and a healthy transition.
