Lifespan and making a difference

The evolution of species leading to modern day humans, when seen from a scientific perspective has been a series of chance occurrences, seen from an unscientific perspective it’s been a wonderful miracle. As a species we have taken massive strides and rule the ecosystem but we have also damaged a large part of the environment over time.

Enough said using darwinian terminologies. When put under a microscope the average lifespan in a country like India was 35 years in the 1950’s ! (maybe the years after wars led to under nutrition) Now as of 2023 it is around 70, it means we have managed to double our lifespan in less than a century. Going ahead lifespan is projected to increase by approximately .33% every year. This is optimism for future generations when it comes to lifespan.

Now when it comes to making a difference in the journey of other humans, every individual has a limited time to do that. When we think about it deeply, till the age of 22 we complete our graduation(if we take the non-medical route). After that from 22-30 years we try to pay of our student loans or try making ends meet as our salaries are basic during this time. The time we can actually make a difference is between the ages 30-60 because after 60 your physically unfit.

Now during these years 30-60 , you technically have only 30 years to make some difference. The steps to make a difference might be something like this :-

1. You figure out the area of what you like doing

2.You do what you like on a consistent basis

3. You add value to overall work that your doing

Now these may look very simple compared to when we look at the lives of people who made a difference, but i think it boils down to these few things primarily.

You’ve got only 30 years to make a difference ! Your time starts now !
