  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.

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.”
