Real Value of Number One In Our Life

Have you ever wondered, what is the real value of number one in our routine nature? What role does it play in our daily lives? We all have read in Mathematics class about the number one and how important it is in every mathematical equation, formula, graph, number, and every significant and insignificant concept that we’ve been studying since childhood.

For instance, Number 1 is the multiplicative identity of any number. Implies that if any number is multiplied by itself, we will get the same results. Looks interesting right?

Moreover, if we go deeper. Do you know? What is the value of √(-1)? Looks entangled. Okay leave this aside, tell me what is the value of 1!. I think it turns arduous. Seems you also started hating mathematics like me.

Take it easy, I have nothing to do with mathematics in my blog, nor I am going to teach you about horrific mathematics. Here, I will just talk about the significance of the number 1 in our daily lives. How just starting out with one can change everything ‘forever’.

Before I start, tell me how many of you are aware of Zero’s, Invention? Hopefully, everyone knows about it, Brahmagupta’s theory of 0 and its significance.

Zero is so dominant, that if we put a zero behind any number it increases its value and at the same time if we put it in front of it, it curtails the value. But what about one?

Let’s focus on one (1). We know that one is a unique number because it is neither a prime number nor a composite number. As it is unique in mathematics, the same role it plays in our life also. Let’s see how?

How Number one play a vital role in our life?

One makes the difference between the Topper and Runner-up

“A single sheet of paper can’t decide your future” I hope you have heard it before multiple times. And somehow this can be the truth also, but this can also decide who is on Top or bottom. Isn’t it?

For instance, it might be worth that if you fill in one more answer sheet than your competitors, score just one more mark, had studied just one more hour, know one more thing, had one extra minute to finish, to write or tell, probably help you to be on the top.

Here I’m talking about Score, not success. Achievement is much more than getting Marks.

One can be a contributor to GDP

Yes, it is true, like “a single drop of water fills the ocean” the same thing fits with the GDP and country’s growth also. How many of you have purchased an item which is marked with price 9 at the end?

Like, $999, $99, $499 etc. And how many of you actually ask for a change of that 1 amount. Many of us ignore or take any small cheap item which shopkeepers give us in replace of the change. Unless you’re using card payments this is the daily practice for us. It so happens that the majority of us feel shy to ask for that one buck change. Instead, we take the toffee or other cheap items falling in that price range.

As this is the market practice of the various brand, helps them to boost sales. Also, it helps in the sale of small undertakings products that become unsold. One percent of the fall in inflation boosts the savings of the citizens. That saving indirectly helps in money creation by depositing into banks.

So undoubtedly one can be a contributor to GDP growth. But, what do you think is it a good practice or not?

Helps in asking for a Chance

When we got failed or whenever we do something wrong we always ask for one more chance. Why not a second or third chance? Have you ever wondered? Instead after losing that chance we furthermore ask for one more chance. One mistake can be ignored but repeating the same mistake a second time can’t be.

One more chance can show you the success.

One helps in grabbing the Opportunity

A journey of a mile begins

With a single step

LAO TZU

As per the above quote, single steps help you in grabbing the opportunity. Whether it is for climbing Mount Everest or doing good in general life. One steady and continuous growth every day will make you invincible. Every single effort makes you invincible.

The value of one understands that person who has missed the train with one minute of difference, or who has to repeat the whole year in the same class because of failure in the academic year. One opportunity can change your life forever. One blink of your eye can change so many things. One mistake can make you regret your whole life. One laugh can light up your entire mood. One help can save someone’s life.

So, one is not so manageable which we leave just by saying it’s a small number.

In conclusion

I know many of you are well aware of the importance of number one in your life. Many of you might follow the basic rules also. But those who misunderstand the value of one faces many problematic crises.

For instance, the one vaccine that can save someone’s life, a one-time meal that we waste daily can fill someone’s empty belly. One smile can change you and your inner self. One step can inspire 1000s more steps. One idea can change the world. One is the only one.

Start with one, you’ll be in 1000 in no time.
