Words and Phrases

Resilient: If someone is resilient, they can overcome just about anything.

 

i.e. : i.e. = id est  A rewording, clarification or example, in other words.  The Latin phrase "id est" means "that is." It's pronounced "i. e." But it is written as i. and e. and is always followed by a comma.

 

Buffer: A barrier between two things that reduces impact.

 

You don't necessarily have a stable job during the crisis. So, savings are vital to make a living. Under the new normal, however, it's more about working collaboratively in a joint world. So having great human relationships are equally important.
