"Hakuna matata" is a Swahili phrase that roughly means "don't be afraid" or "don't worry," and it is composed of Hakuna (not found here) and matata (problems).

Contributed to its spread in the 1994 animated film "The Lion King", where the phrase was significantly emphasized in the story, and a song was dedicated to it that helps to forget the troubled past and live in the present.

But the young Moroccan Badr Sharaf al-Din will make this phrase a special message after the quarantine, written in Arabic letters on cotton vests, to motivate himself and his customers.

An acuity in a creative field for investment contrary to what they were working on

Armed with positivity, and made it a way of life and an incentive for them and others to move forward despite the repercussions of the spread of the Coronavirus and what accompanied the quarantine phase and the health emergency situation, as the Moroccan economy lost 589 thousand jobs during the second quarter of this year, and the unemployment rate increased during the second quarter of 2020 to 12,3%.

Badr Sharaf Al-Din told Al-Jazeera Net, "I started my small project, which I hope will grow with positive words and a story of solidarity, and it was the torch that lit my life anew."

As for Elias, he made positivity his primary motivation to develop additional skills during quarantine, by which he could change the course of his life, and Monia was prompted by Tadamun's initiative to find a new way to earn her livelihood.

My humanity is work and values

Before the pandemic, Badr Sharaf al-Din worked as a professional photographer and filmmaker, then the activities that were his source of livelihood were stopped and postponed .. Sharaf al-Din tells Al-Jazeera Net about his suffering despite his repeated attempts.

Like everyone else, he believed that the state of the epidemic and the subsequent stones would not be prolonged, so he was armed with patience and occupied his time with a program on YouTube in which he taught the basics of photography in a simple way.

But the fact that Badr remained without income began to affect him, he says, "I started to feel that I was dependent. I gave up many of my needs, and the future seemed to me blurry as the emergency situation continued."

Badr was a Yemeni self to return to work as before, and almost succumbed to depression, but a voice within him kept asking him to act, move and benefit from his skills.

Badr remembered a day when one of his colleagues was sick and needed money for an operation, and how he prepared a design for a shirt with the phrase "before you are your own artist (you should) be a human being", and at that time the design was well received in order to help the colleague, and Badr called his friends and found that they are still using the shirt because they liked them. And they take pictures of the stimulus.

Badr encouraged, with the help of a colleague in digital marketing, to launch a project that he chose as "my humanity", in which he designs motivational phrases in Arabic letters printed on cotton shirts, and his mouthpiece says it is enough to arm your humanity in order to be well, to mix between humanity and positivity and go, "Hakuna Matata," Be as you are, be free, to shine a light upon a light.

There is a blessing in motion

Monia (a fitness trainer) remained outside the public support department (support provided by the state), without any financial income after the gymnasium she was working in was closed.

Monia launched an initiative on YouTube and contributed in her way to sending positivity and hope and not to give up during the quarantine, but over time, Monia told Al-Jazeera Net, "I lost motivation and stopped for a while."

The necessity of coping with the epidemic made Monia think of launching a virtual sports club, through which it offers individual and group lessons online.

Monia developed her idea and created a job for herself and her clients, to continue their sporting activities.

Today, Monia works on her project, and feels that her dream of opening her own gym has come true through her virtual club.

Monia assures that she will not return to work as before after the re-opening of the sports halls, and that she will go ahead, insuring that the beginning is difficult, but the turnout will come.

She notes that individual training via the Internet has enabled many women to follow up from their homes on a large scale, and Monia considers that in every ordeal there is a grant, and that the movement has a blessing, and stresses the need to experiment to find the way.

Coping skills development

As for Elias, he chose the quarantine period to develop his experience and sharpen his talents, as he turned his work from providing graphic and photography services for events, to consulting and digital marketing.

Before the quarantine, Elias used to photograph and cover events and facts, just like Badr and other young people in the service sector, related to travel or cultural and political events, family parties, seasons and festivals, but his work was affected and his income stopped.

According to official statistics of the High Planning Commission in Morocco (the official authority for statistics), the service sector has lost 30,000 jobs.

Elias developed his skills in managing social media pages and platforms and promoting content, and changed the way it is used.

Elias knows the importance of digital display of skills and services and the need to promote them, as the whole world has moved to digital interaction.

According to him, digital services have become essential and those who do not develop their dealings with the digital field will be difficult to cope with.

Elias began by sharing his work with the public to embark on a business trip, and he uses the skill of content promotion and counseling as an experience he provides to those who request it.

Instead of waiting, Elias preferred to attack and knock on closed doors to open a way for him to make money through digital marketing.

Elias recommends himself and his friends for patience and work, and is convinced that success comes as much as dream and struggle.
