*How to become super rich?*

Amazing answer by Mr Awadhesh Singh, an ex student of IT-BHU (now IIT-BHU)..

When I was doing my B Tech, there was a Professor Das Talukedar who used to teach us ‘Mechanics’.

His lectures used to be very interesting since he had an interesting way to teach and explain the concepts..

One day, in the class, he asked the following questions,

1. What is ZERO?
2. What is INFINITY?
3. Can ZERO and INFINITY be same?

We all thought that we knew the answers and we replied as following..

ZERO means *nothing.*
INFINITY means *a number greater than any countable number.*
ZERO and INFINITY *are opposite and they can never be same.*

He countered us by first talking about infinity and asked,

‘How can there be any number which is greater than any countable number?’

We had no answer..

He then explained the concept of infinity in a very interesting way, which I remember even after more than 35 years..

He said that imagine that there is an illiterate shepherd who can count only upto 20.

Now, if the number of sheep he has less than 20 and you ask him how many sheep he has, he can tell you the precise number (like 3, 5 14 etc.).
