Ok, alright, it is not about trading but as it is the Friendship Week I
thought I'll pass this on to my trading mates all over the world...
If we could shrink the earth's population to a
village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing
human ratios remaining the same, it would look something
like the following:
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire worlds
wealth and
All 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed
perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding
and education becomes glaringly apparent.
The following is also something to ponder...
If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness...you are more blessed than the million who
will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of
torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500
million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of
harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more
blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on
Your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are
richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and
spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among
the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
If you can read this message, you just received a
double blessing in that someone was thinking of
you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two
billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Someone once said:
What goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
It's National Friendship Week.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.
Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.
Nothing will happen if you do not decide to pass it
along. The only thing that will happen, if you DO
pass it on, is that someone might smile because of you.
/Have a good week
Sam
