Every One Knows What the number is..
Its the Speed of Light.
Every One also knows that the Circumference of Earth is 40,076km.
So Every One Knows Light Can Travel Seven Rounds(299792/40076=7) Around The World In One Second.
But No One Knows That There Are Some People On Earth Whose THOUGHTS Travel Faster Than That.
Call Them Any Thing. ICON'S.Ok
They Think They Live Not In Their States,Not In Their Countries,Not In Their Communities,But in a Village,a Global Village.They Compete and Think G-Local not Local.
Hey! New Watch Word GLOCAL.
(GLOCAL=Thinking Global Level at Local Situation You Are On, Which Creates Excellence At Every Act You Do.
This Is Nothing But Every One Comparing And Competing With THEMSELVES in Every Act They Did. )
Think GLOCAL
