Raison D'etre
I thought it fitting to start this website by explaining my purpose for creating it.
Recently, after starting a family and assuming the responsibility of providing for my wife and child, I became concerned with the quality of life that I am able to afford them. I started thinking about starting a business.
In the process of looking for business ideas, I started looking into what could improve the quality of life of people here in Mauritius. I thought I could create my business around that.
This led me to ask myself what affects the quality of life and what creates the difference in quality of life between different countries. What is it precisely that makes Mauritius less pleasant to live in compared to other developed countries? What is the foundation of a good standard of living?
I came to think that the quality of life everywhere depends on whether the needs of people are met and how much effort they have to make in order to meet them. This is why factors such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and security all contribute to the quality of life.
Now all of those things are built and maintained by people. Multiple people. If one aspect needs to be improved, many people have to make an effort to make it better. This requires concerted effort.
Concerted effort requires that people agree on what needs to be done, how it should be done, and who should do it. This means that communication is the foundation of all concerted effort, and effective communication produces efficient concerted effort. All great civilisations were built upon good and effective communication.
Now, at this moment, my intention is only to start a business, not build a civilisation (obviously). But, the foundation would undoubtedly be the same.
That said, unfortunately communication has never quite been my forte and I need to improve on that. That is why I decided to create this website.
This is an experiment to change that.
(if this is all janky, then surely you see precisely what I’m trying to do here)
