The Goose with the Golden Eggs

Once upon a time, a man and his wife had the good fortune to have a goose which laid a
golden egg every day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not
getting rich fast enough.

They imagined that if the bird is able to lay golden eggs, its insides must be made of gold.
And they thought that if they could get all that precious metal at once, they would get mighty
rich very soon. So the man and his wife decided to kill the bird.

However, upon cutting the goose open, they were shocked to find that its innards were like
that of any other goose!

Reimagining the Future

How should we define 2020? Perhaps one will remember it as a time of struggling to stay
sane at home, having one’s salary cut, scrambling to find a new job, getting infected with
COVID-19 or losing loved ones (the virus has claimed 1.65 million lives globally, with more
than 19,200 deaths recorded in Indonesia).

One way or another, the virus has affected our lives. It is a somber year for many, but
perhaps there is another way to remember the year?

In this multimedia report, you will meet a singer and a theater group who are adapting to
virtual stages; a group of psychologists who help patients through online counseling and
students who continue to learn online despite a lack of internet access in their village.

Many have not only managed to adapt to this difficult time but also found innovative ways to
live, work and even help others. Also in this report, some architects, business owners and a
financial planner share how they imagine the future in a post-coronavirus world.

Their stories are a reminder that, despite all the losses we have suffered, 2020 is also the
year when we found strength and resilience that hopefully will guide us through whatever
may come in the future.
