If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:
57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 Americans (northern and southern) 8 Africans;
52 women 48 men;
70 coloureds 30 caucasians;
89 heterosexuals 11 homosexuals;
6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America;
80 would have bad living conditions;
70 would be uneducated;
50 underfed;
1 would die;
2 would be born;
1 would have a computer;
1 (only one) will have higher education.
When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity, understanding, patience and education.
Also think about the following -
This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are happier than the 1 million people that will not survive next week.
If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world.
If you can enter into a church (mosque) without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world.
If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have bed and a roof, you are richer than 75% of the people in the world.
If you have a bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box,
you belong to the 8% of the people on the world, who are well-to-do. (not counting outstanding housing and car loans?)
If you read this you are three times blessed because:
1. somebody just thought of you; (only if this was forwarded, otherwise you have thought of me instead!)
2. you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read; (ignorance is bliss); and
3. you have a computer! (that works)
As somebody once said:
- Work as if you don't need money, (like in Google?)
- Love as if you've never been hurt, (with China dolls?)
- Dance, as if nobody can see you, (in a senior citizens’ club?)
- Sing, as if no one can hear, (like in your own bathroom?)
- Live, as if the Earth was a heaven (no need to be a suicide bomber?)
Government fed by the people
Career options
I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.
Corruption so prevalent it affects English language?
Corruption is so prevalent it affects English language?
When there's too much dirt...
We need better tools... to cover up mega corruptions.
Prevent bullying now!
If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)
