Identical Twins: they look alike, they are born from a single fertilized egg, and they are of the same sex.
Mirror Image Twins: They are the subset of identical twins, each one appears as a reflection of the other, and the identifying marks are always on opposite sides.
Fraternal Twins: they are conceived from two different eggs, they don’t look alike, and they are of mixed sex.
66 per cent of the twins are of the third category.

Arrogant ( they are abusive, they litter, and they mistreat foreigners)
They are impatient ( they are prone to road rage, they shout at others, they violate traffic rules, they lack public responsibility, and they break queues)
Civil servants are neither civil nor do they provide any service.
Politicians are in fact Political Entrepreneurs, because they just look after their selfish motives and amass huge unearned money through rent seeking and directly unproductive profit seeking activities in the terminology of the ‘New Political Economy’ ( an offshoot of the Conventional Economics) , where the role of the State is treated as an endogenous variable.
Money is a matter of functions four, a value, a standard, a medium, a store.
When there is high inflation, too much money chases too few goods.
In order to maximize or optimize one’s happiness or what ever it is, one should be fully rational in terms of the axiom of completeness ( Either option A is preferred to option B, or option B is preferred to option A, or one is indifferent between option A and option B), the axiom of continuity ( If option A is preferred to option B, then option A will be preferred to ?B, a small change in option B), and the axiom of transitivity (If option A is preferred to option B, and B is preferred to option C, then it follows that option A would be preferred to option C).
Non-humans are more rational then humans, as they are not so much constrained by the a number exogenous factors, both known and unknown.
Economics on occasions has been misused in a number of ways both by individuals and nations.
Economics occurs even in unlikeliest places. It is seen in all walks and moments of our lives, and has much more relevance in our lives than we can imagine.
Economics is a powerful tool that helps us to understand the world in the sense that even an average person can possibly command the heights of genius.
Quantitative Economics is like pathology, whereas qualitative (descriptive) economics is like pulse reading.
Here are some of the interesting sayings of life:

One should not express opinions confining one to facts.

Life is too short for traffic.
Defer not till tomorrow to be wise. Tomorrow’s sun may never rise.

You don’t conquer the mountain. The mountain allows you to climb it.
See more, feel more, express more.

Here are some of the prescriptions for a happy life:
When opportunity knocks at your door, go and welcome it. If you don’t do it, it will go to another door.
Life is full of doubts; try to minimize them.
Read half of what you normally read, think double of what you normally think, write thrice of what you normally write, and disseminate all that all over.
You should be Pareto-optimal in the sense that when you take a decision to maximize/optimize your well-being make sure that it does not worsen the well-being of others, especially your family.
Face a problem when it arises, otherwise it would chase you and make you more worrisome.
Once there is a problem, there is always a solution, may be the last best. When there is no problem, naturally there is no solution.
Past is history, future is mystery, present is the gift of God. Live it fully.

It is about living, not having; It is about action, not inaction; It is about work, not charity; It is about duty, not reward;
As time is the most limited variable in life, we must
utilize it properly, not waste it, not be lazy, plan time ahead of us, bother about the time cost and its opportunity cost, do something every day that we have been postponing, do something new every day.
As a consumer (the ultimate demander)- who buys to consume for direct satisfaction- one should follow the “NEW” Theories of Consurer Behaviour which are
The Demand for Characteristics; The Portfolio Choice; The Allocation of Time; The Family Decision Making;
We must also ration our wants in terms of reducing them to the extent that is possible.
Always remember the trio: The Almighty, the Parents, and the Teachers and Non-Toxic friends.
