Grasp the Moment

Posted by Cielotech Online

A good friend of mine sent me this very very interesting group of statistics.  We both are considerable older that sixty-five years and constantly try to keep our spirits up relative to getting older. 

I thought these facts would interest you also. 

The population of Earth is around 7.8 Billion. For most people, it is a large figure.

However, if you condensed 7.8 billion into 100 persons, and then into various percentage statistics the resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.

(Only 0.33% are in Australia)

Out of 100 :

11 are in Europe
5 are in North America
9 are in South America
15 are in Africa
60 are in Asia

49 live in the countryside
51 live in cities

75 have mobile phones. 

25 do not.

30 have internet access
70 do not have the availability to go online

7 received university education
93 did not attend college.

83 can read
17 are illiterate.

33 are Christians
22 are Muslims
14 are Hindus
7 are Buddhists
12 are other religions
12 have no religious beliefs.

26 live less than 14 years
66 died between 15 - 64 years of age
8 are over 65 years old.

If you have your own home,
Eat full meals and drink clean water,
Have a mobile phone,
Can surf the internet, and have gone to college,
You are in the minuscule privileged lot.
(in the less than 7% category)

Amongst 100 persons in the world, only 8 live or exceed the age of 65.
 

If you are over 65 years old, be content and grateful. Cherish life, grasp the moment.
 

Take good care of your own health. Cherish every remaining moment.
