We aspire to be richer but often fail to recognise how privileged we are. Mansa Mura, ancient emperor of Mali, may have been the richest individuals that ever lived, in fact several times richest than Bill Gates, but unlike us, couldn't pop a painkiller whenever he had a headache. And think how he would have loved to have been able to board a budget airline to Mecca instead of spending two years in the trip and without aircon!
