I have decided to move on now.
I have enjoyed blogging on here. The experience has been made more worthwhile by the many interesting readers I have met along the way.
Your emails and comments regarding my posts here are always welcome. The blog will remain as it is and I will make it a point to respond to them personally.
I am yet ot read
Dambisa Moyo's Dead Aid. I must soon. The resulting debate about the effectiveness of aid to developing countries (particularly Africa) is extremely interesting and I have been following it at
Is Aid Working on the FT website.
Someone suggested that the word 'failure' should be removed from the English dictionary and 'feedback' used instead. This would create a positive cycle of learning and improvement.
Despite many maxims, quotes and anecdotes promulgating the virtues of failing and learning from it, failure cannot shed its implicit negative connotation. Branding something as a failure psychologically dents the confidence of an individual.
No wonder Edison quipped 'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work'.
The
29th April editorial of Kuensel concludes strongly that 'Globalisation is not inevitable'. I don't want to dwell on how or why it thinks so.
But that is totally absurd -
Look around Thimphu, signs of globalisation are aplenty -the rising oil prices, the origins of the clothes we wear and even the way Kuensel is accessed by people from all over the world. Kuensel seem to have forgotten the recent global financial crisis and the jitters it caused to some industries here (Kuensel reported some of these stories). An unusually short memory for the oldest paper.
Many people use it as their primary source of news and information, and in informing the nation - Kuensel has grossly mis-informed and risks losing its credibility.
I read The Financial Times sometimes.
Last month I came across
Luke Johnson's 'Stop making excuses and get started' and I thought I should share this. It is about entrepreneurship and starting a business.
Of late, I have been wondering how entrepreneurial we Bhutanese are?
