a few words of wisdom... »»

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

counting could help

If you want to count from 1 to 1,000,000, what do you think how long will it take you?... »»

If you want to count from 1 to 1,000,000, what do you think how long will it take you?

Make a guess! hours, days? how many?

Well, here's a bit of math to show:

Since counting from 1 to 10 takes only 5 sec. but counting from let's say 999,820 to 999,829 takes more than 10 sec. I checked how much time I need to count from 500,000 to 500,009 ... which took me about 10 seconds. So, basically we could say that we need 1 second per counting 1 number - which equals to 1 million seconds.

That doesn't sound too bad, does it?

Well, 1,000,000 sec divided by 60  to get to the minute, divided by 60 to get to the hour, divided by 24 to figure out how many days ... results in approx. 11.5 days.

That is, if you count 24 hrs non-stop for 11.5 days!

Since one has to eat, drink, pause, sleep, etc. let's say we count "only" 12 hrs a day.

That makes it 23 days to count from 1 to 1 million!

to continue the beauty... how long will it take you to count to 1 billion?

well, that's 23,000 days ... divided by 365 to come to years ... we get to approx. 63 years!

63 years! to count 1 to 1,000,000,000 ... (that's a lot of time)
So, basically, if we could get the politicians and bankers to count the debt they're piling up ... we had a wonderful relaxed time all the way.........

...and every time they come up with new ideas about how to keep us save and protect us and get more money out of us and so on .... we could say: "just keep on counting!" - "dude!" :)
