Knowledge, wealth and ego are best friends!

  Knowledge, wealth and ego are best friends!

Whenever knowledge and wealth enter a person’s life, egoism accompanies them and starts dominating him. But ego will be out of sight if knowledge and wealth don’t exist.

In actuality, Knowledge, wealth and egoism are in the same boat. They follow one another and don’t leave their association. We know that knowledge is power. That can be seen, observed and heard in daily routine. Let’s take an example, such as a professor introducing himself, “I am Dr XYZ. I have experience of twenty years. I am awarded as the best teacher by.”

Further, a rich man does the same, “I am a rich businessman in this industry.”

They do it proudly. On the other hand, the poor and uneducated person does it differently, “I am a poor farmer and working on the farm.”  They do it innocently.

Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
