Me : Hi
My Friend (After a gap of few months) : Hi, You are becoming slimmer!
Me : (Relaxed me) At last the diet and daily walk of around 1 hr has started paying off! Thanks! Honest feedback. Nobody from my home told me this.
But why was that? All because they couldn’t notice the gradual changes happening on daily basis. The baseline was always adjusted to the latest state!
This is quite common everywhere.
Extend this logic to India’s life expectancy data. It has increased from meagre 44 yrs. in 1964 to a whooping 68 yrs. in 2016.
Because changes are so gradual, we never notice them. This is the power of evolution. We never notice that it is happening and suddenly on one fine day when we look at something like a #10yearchallenge, we notice the substantial CHANGE.
Start appreciating this gradual improvement in all walks of life. Such improvements are very powerful because they get ingrained in culture and hence become irreversible.
