How crisis proof is your job - how crisis proof are your professional qualifications - learn and improve your position in life to improve your usefulness

Today's global economic crisis - lasting now for nearly a year - is an ideal situation to measure and evaluate your own job situation and professional qualifications. In recent months we had in addition to the global crisis a number of large and largest natural disasters such as the flooding in Burma / Myanmar, the earthquake in China, the Volcano eruption in Chile, various flooding disasters in USA combined with Tornados ...

In such situation you can best realize if you can be of any direct use in those disaster zones.

• Do you have hands on qualifications, job experience needed during and after such disasters or wars ?
• Can you fix things ?
• Can you create solutions, can you create technical solutions, logistics, medical help, repair and rescue help needed in various disaster situations ?
• Are you a solution provider who does work on your own - with your own means, body, strength, inspiration ? Or do you depend on your employees or helpers to do the job FOR you ?

In such most severe disasters and crisis situations there might be NO electricity, NO communication to quickly Google questions - NO other expert to ask ... only you ! Are you a source of strength FOR others, for society, for people in need of ALL kind of help from basic medical help, to repair, logistics, communications, etc.

One point is sure as hell is sure: ALL office jobs and office qualifications are totally obsolete in such situations and crisis. All administration is obsolete. In need are people who can do things, people who create help, people who invent solutions with whatever natural or technical means are remaining available. All kind of paperwork becomes worthless during disasters and times of war, political struggle and economic crisis - because all administrative jobs and expenses are a WASTE of the limited resources needed to really solve and help.

If you are sincerely interested to evaluate your present job qualifications, then look deep inside your heart, soul and body and ask yourself if you could actually provide these very hours any of the many tasks needed to be done today in any of the many disaster zones from China, Burma/Myanmar, Chile or the flooded areas in USA or any other region in distress these days and weeks.

If your answer is positive, then you may as well consider a job for a few years for one of the many relief or humanitarian help organizations acting on global levels. If your reply is negative, then you may consider going back to school, participating in vocational training to change or improve your professional qualifications and adapt your job qualifications to real needs of real life on this planet. The past few weeks / months are but a small example of what might be waiting for us all on this planet during the years or decades to come. With fast increasing environmental pollution and environmental destruction nature no longer creates warnings but nature has to create solutions within the power of nature. Mankind has failed to develop love for nature, love for our entire planet, mankind has failed to honer dignity of others and freedom of others - thus nature returns back the lessons mankind more likely understands. Loss, pain and to face the almighty power of nature might be far more efficient in a time where no time to wait is left. War have failed since thousands of years, engineering and science have failed as well. The longing for money and power has been far greater than wisdom and love.

As a result of all ongoing global changes real qualifications might be more needed than ever before. Facing the loss of all property and forclosure of millions in USA - the importance of modest life in harmony with God and all planet also becomes vital for the bare survival.

In all disasters from WW2, Korea war, Vietnam war, strike on Iraq, to all natural disasters of the past years - hundreds of millions might have lost all their property, wealth or even body / family. Those who had real qualifications always have managed to survive and get up again. Those who had nothing but paper and office qualifications have been depending on social welfare or new office jobs again without ever having the pleasure and honor to be useful for society and neighborhood.

While in New Orleans it may take many years to rebuild the homes destroyed years ago during a natural disaster Tornado - in simple but loving countries such as here in the Philippines, it may take but days or weeks to rebuild a house. Because a house here is small, affordable costing some 1-2 monthly salary if done by paid professionals and costing (near ) zero if done with the help of loving family members and neighbors.

Homes in western world are huge - a multiple of real needs in size and more likely reminding of temples and homes of aristocracy rather than homes of real loving humans. The larger the ego, the larger the home and the larger the pain when all is lost. Those who focus on God and love, on helping each other and being truly useful for each other have nothing to loose. A simple house can be rebuild by loving family members. A lost home paid with mortgage and bank money only can be rebuild by banks, another mortgage and another loan.

The more titles you have and need for your current job, the less likely your job is of ANY real use in situations of global crisis or natural disasters. True values always are within a person - in the heart and mind. useful and needed skills never are displayed by diplomas but by helping hands doing real jobs where real humanitarian help is needed.

Review your inside and review your professional skills, experience and qualifications to adapt to the needs of our real world situations, to be prepared for the future whatever the future might bring. Being useful may bring you no medals, no trophies, no reward of any material or financial kind - but being real useful and helpful in situations of disaster, war and crisis may bring you a happy heart as a result of true happiness created by you.

God bless
