Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have acquired 4 cows. I am expecting these cows to produce milk and help me address any need that will arise. I am also hopeful that these cows will in future buy for me a motorbike that I will use for transport business for supporting my family.
