Essentials Of A Common Man

Let’s list down 5 essential things which we can’t live without in today’s world:

  • Smartphone
  • Internet
  • Car / Bike
  • Heater / Air Conditioner / Simple Fan
  • TV

The lifestyle of a King

If you go back let's say 1000 years ago or so, A king didn’t have ANY of those!

So, it means you are living a better lifestyle than a king ever did!

Learn to have gratitude for what you have. As the famous saying goes,

I cried because I have no shoes until I saw a man with no feet. — unknown

We just fail to realize how far we’ve come as humanity, the progress science and technology has made in the last century is just mindblowing!

Kings couldn’t get bypass surgery, organ transplant, or even as simple as a modern ambulance with lifesaving gadgets.

Even the greatest King who ever lived, couldn’t talk to a person who is just a mile away!

Forget just talking, we all can even do a video call to a person located anywhere in the world; Not to forget those augmented funny caps & masks 😉

Hungry ?— You have Zomato.

Want to read? — You have a kindle (thousands of books at your palm).

Forget Apple Watch, Kings didn’t even have a normal watch! 😆

A King didn’t know if it was gonna rain in the evening, while you get automatic smartphone notification about Weather Conditions!⛈️

Want to go somewhere? — you have Uber!

Future…

The pace at which Technology and innovation are progressing is just unstoppable and it is surely a good thing!

Change has never been this fast and will never be this slow! — Bill McDermott (CEO, SAP)
