Quote of the Day by Chris Martin: There comes a point where it doesn't matter how many zeroes are Inspiring lessons on money, happiness, gratitude, bank balance and why money cant buy happiness by the English singer known for his powerful performances and deep insights on life and wealth

Quote of the Day by Chris Martin: Chris Martins quote, There comes a point where it doesn't matter how many zeroes are at the end of your bank account, explores the importance of understanding the limits of financial wealth and recognizing the deeper sources of happiness and fulfillment. The quote suggests that money can provide comfort, security, and opportunities, but accumulating more wealth does not always lead to greater happiness, meaning, or personal satisfaction. Martins words encourage us to look beyond financial success and appreciate relationships, experiences, creativity, personal growth, and emotional well-being.

On August 3, 2026, Ethiopia planted 805.3 million seedlings in 12 hours with 26.2 million participants; years later, survival data will reveal whether that extraordinary national effort actually transformed degraded landscapes

Ethiopia also says that more than 48 billion seedlings have been planted since the Green Legacy Initiative began.

Govt eases norms for exporters to get 'One Star Export House' status
