Peter Schiff Was Right
While watching this video, I realised how “Nul n’est prophète en son pays” is so true.
In a Vanity Fair article (found using Google I swear), Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winner in 2001, writes: “When the American economy enters a downturn, you often hear the experts debating whether it is likely to be V-shaped (short and sharp) or U-shaped (longer but milder). Today, the American economy may be entering a downturn that is best described as L-shaped. It is in a very low place indeed, and likely to remain there for some time to come.”
Living in a country like Mauritius where the economy is relatively solid is precious.
Winning a Blogger of Honour award
Avish has just published the results of his blog survey in Mauritius and he has given me a Blogger of Honour award for (I quote)Â being one of the earliest Mauritian blogger still blogging. I hope I’ve not been given this award because I am old (as I still consider myself a young man even though I’m 35 ;-) )
In January 2007, I wrote a post with the title Why do I blog? In it I quoted Sam Ruby who wrote in 2002:
“So why do I blog? Because it works. It finds worthwhile things for me to read. It helps me refine and focus my thoughts and be more productive too. And most of all, [it] creates the opportunity to interact with more interesting people. That’s what’s in it for me.â€
Thanks Avish both for the award and for having taken this excellent initiative :-)
