Opportunity in Crisis

Posted by Yew Tze Ee on Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 11:10 PM

The term "crisis" in Chinese is called 危机. 危 means dangerous while 机 means opportunity, that is, whenever there is dangerous situation, there is opportunity in it.

In 21st century, we face many crisis or dangerous situation such as global warming, greenhouse effect, water shortage, and energy crisis.
But there are solutions to fix the problems we faced.

Problem: Water Shartage
Solution: Desalination 
Explanation: Desalination is a process which convert seawater to freshwater.
Technology: Reverse Osmosis, Membrane Distillation 

Problem: Energy Crisis
Solution: Renewable Energy (examples, solar energy, wind power, hydroelectricity and nuclear energy)
Explanation: For solar energy, energy is obtained from photovoltaic cell and heat engine. While wind power is the conversion of wind energy into electricity by using wind turbines. For hydroelectricity, it is electricity generated by hydropower through use of the gravitational force of flowing water. 

Conclusion
Without the existence of problem we face like water shortage and depletion of petroleum, there will be no technology such as desalination system and renewable energy. Therefore, we should invent more technologies instead of worrying and fear.

    from my view,

    i see crisis as a chance.
    Crisis is some sort of like a reset button.

    When this reset button is pressed, all our chances become equal again.

    Many people see crisis as a very very bad situation.
    However, for a businessman, they will think it as a good opportunity to gain control of the market.


    That's my opinion lar.
    You may agree or object.
