Focus on where you are going and you'll know what steps to take. Focus on the steps you're taking and you won't know where you're going. Simon Sinek

Create, create and recreate.

Clarity, doesn’t come before action; it comes from action. I hope this makes sense to someone. I've been in the educational and literary publishing for 10 years. I've seen and experienced challenges faced by students, teachers, educators, parents, authors and readers. I've been a victim of such challenges, having at one point been a student, an educator, a reader and an author who had to abandon loads of literary projects subject to similar challenges. I believe there's a long lasting digital solution to all these challenges. After a long period of visualization, I realised "dreaming remains just dreaming" if it's never converted to reality. Furthermore, the more you dream and keep sharing your dreams without acting the more you lose your authentic self and loyalty to your vision. There's never a perfectly right time to start. The path will appear when you start walking. In Chemistry lessons, we learnt about "Activation Energy" - the least amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur. I needed just that little push. That's why I decided to begin somewhere, with just a little something (I mean close to nothing) that could help me kick-off with a small team that believed in the potential of my new baby. I built Boldplus Platforms as a pathway to achieving my dream for digital transformation in education and publishing. I'm beginning this journey by building Assess+ (Assessment Plus). This project will transform how students, teachers, educators and parents do and perceive different types and formats of educational progress assessment. Unique features of Assess+ will be shared as our team works hard to realize this dream project.
