Never Compare yourself with anyone. Research shows that in Olympics “Bronze medal winners are happier than Silver medal winners”

But why?

Silver medal winners compare themselves with Gold medal winners. Their mindset would be like, “ If I would have clocked a few seconds faster, then I would have win a gold medal”.

Bronze medal winners compare themselves with the other participants who have missed out the medals. Their mindset would be like, “ Thank god! I just clocked on time and won bronze!”

So what is the ultimate life implication from this research?

Upward comparison is stressful & Downward comparison is stress-free. It’s all about who you’re comparing yourself to.

Let me now correlate this with my real life scenarios.

What a goosebump moment it was when Captain America grab the hammer. The theatre just exploded!!. I can watch Avengers End game 1000 times just for this one iconic scene. I love each and every frame of this movie. And this is the best movie I ever watched in my life. I can speak all day about this movie. Each character, each dialogue has a lot to takeaway with.

But let me cut it short it with 8 most interesting takeaways.

/By now most of the people might have watched Avengers -End Game. This blog definitely has spoilers. So in case if anyone has still not watched this Marvel’ous Avengers then refrain yourself from reading further/

Lessons 1: Feel for your failure. But don’t stop there.

Infinity war teaches us the most important lessons towards the end, which is, Superheroes are not the one who wins but who fights till the end. Entire Avengers team gather together to destroy one mighty villain Thanos and they fail. It is really hard to watch our favorite superheroes getting disintegrated at no time.

Is there one book which can give a complete insight into our history, our evolution, money factor, unification of humans and science?

If yes, then the only answer would be Sapiens book.

Right from the way started roaming freely in this world for search of food to the way we started roaming around this world in search of Business, everything is covered in this book.

It may change the perspective of our entire history which we have heard so far from our ancestors.

And most importantly this book will make you think how much we have lost for the sake of our own selfishness.

The book has been divided into 4 different categories

1. The Cognitive Revolution
2. The Agricultural Revolution
3. The Unification of Humankind
4. The Scientific Revolution

Let me try breakdown each category with my own insights and thoughts. Let me make a point clear that this is not a review of these books. These are just my perceptions about this book.

This blog speaks about the first version of The Unification of Humankind. Prefer reading earlier revolution of my blogs to catch up the flow of it.

Let us Begin.

A rise of Culture:

Agriculture revolution made sapiens from roaming around to stick to one place and built the locality. Locality becomes a community, then community becomes an empire. Many new empires arise in all part of the world. All these empires have their own set of principles. A new culture of unity is formed.

I read two news articles today. One made me happy and others made me angry.

At first, the happier one was “ 98% of Tamilnadu’s youth is keen to vote”. As on today, we are the number one country to have large number of younger generation. The interest which youth has on the election is something remarkable. If in a family the younger generation is keen to cast their vote, then ultimately those interest will be automatically transformed to the entire family. There is so many reasons for the younger generation to get the interest towards voting, Many celebrities have begun to speak about the importance of voting. 2 out 4 movies speak or stress upon the importance of voting and there are also lot many troll and memes which made younger generation pull into the voting. So, it is natural that youth are keen to vote.

The second news which made me angry was Telangana saw just 60% Turnout in this elections. 2014 election the turnout was around 69.2%. Even after so many awareness the voting turnout which was 60%. This shows that we all are good at speaking great about things. But when it comes to execution it is just zero. To all those 40% who didn’t cast their vote, just a single question for them. What is the one thing which you had on the full day apart from voting?

This news made me look bit deeper into past few year voting turnouts. And I was completely shocked. In 2014, All India voting turnout percentage is just 66.4% and in 2009 it was 58.2%… It means nearly 510 million peoples don’t have a minute to think of the country and cast their vote. (Total Indian population in 2014 is approximately 1.29 billion people)
