explain how economics is the study of man in the ordinary  business of life

In our ordinary business of life, we come across the problem of choice in a lot of situations.We all have limited resources which we have to utilize in a way that we get maximum satisfaction. There are million ways and rather million consumption bundles which can give us infinite satisfaction but what makes this optimization problem sensible are the constraints. For instance we have RS 10,000 and we have to buy furniture for our home.With Rs 10000 either we can buy a table or a sofa or set of chairs or chest of drawers.So,we have to make a choice!!SO constraints arise the situation of choice and we face it regularly. Hence economics is the study of man in the ordinary business of life.
