PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Products are things we use.
Most of them are bought for a price.
Some of these products are indispensable and more important for life.
Products like food items, costumes, medicines are indispensable and without which it is impossible to survive.
At the same time there are products which are less important and also there are products which are least important.
People look for less important products too when they have money to buy them.
They even look for least important ones also when they have too much money.
The desire for all these product-acquisition comes from one’s mind.
New products come in the market almost everyday and publicized through attractive advertisements.
People come to know and a desire is created in the minds of almost all and they plan to buy such new products either with cash or a bank loan.
These products are every where – vehicles, TV, mobile phones, computers, camcorders, cameras, washing machines, refrigerators, micro-ovens, air conditioners – there is no end to this list.
Such products are needed by people and produced by the manufacturers investing millions of dollars and sold through out the world.
Money helps us to buy all these items which are readily available in the market.
Innumerable products in the show cases of super-markets attract us and tempt us to buy.
However, we forget one important thing which is basic to the production, transportation and marketing.
All these processes to produce the products are the service we get from the manufactures and marketing people.
Variety of products advertised on line for the benefit of people who can order by their telephone dialing toll free numbers.
The products reach on the door-steps in a day or two.
In fact, we forget the service attached to each and every product we buy from various sources.
I consider that the cost of each item we buy in fact includes the cost for the service too, although it is hidden in every product.
Another important thing we avail in our life is the service itself.
Education, health care, road, rail, airways, electricity, sports, telephone, administration, defense, security – and similar services are generally provided by both private and public organizations to the citizens of a country.
Some such services are free and some others are paid.
Infra-structure facilities created for the citizens are great services.
The tax we pay to the Nation is used for all these services.
A country’s progress depends on the infrastructure services built by the private and public organizations.
Education for example is needed for everyone in a country.
Schools, colleges and universities are needed in large numbers to cater the requirements of ever growing population.  
These institutions provide education for all.
It is a great service we have to appreciate.
It also creates employments for teachers and associated staff.
Likewise health care services are needed for those who are unwell.
It is again essential service for the patients.
Free and paid services are available in every country.
Private services are costly and not affordable for the poor.
Public services are free but the service provided is not up-to-the mark as in private health services.
There are hospitals run and maintained by religious organizations in every country.
The intention is to treat all human beings at par.
Similarly we can expand the various services available for us.
Products and services are essential for every one of us.
Free or paid, these two are the foundations for our life.
Hence, let us understand the significance of the use of products and services in our life.
