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

　　10 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 (异性恋者)

　　11 would be homosexual(同性恋者)

　　6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s 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(yes， only 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 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 dish

     someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.

　　If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare， even in

     the United Stated and Canada.

　　Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

　　So…

　　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.
