Are You Richer than 75% of the World?

Have you truly ever stopped to think about all the things you have? A roof over your heard, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear, running water, heat/air conditioning, a computer, the ability to surf the Internet, your parents, your siblings (even if on occasion you want to hurt them), money, a job. These things are part of my every day world, but there are so many out there that do not even have a roof to sleep under or running water.

In a world with 6.6 BILLION people, we live in a world of diversity! What does diversity mean to you? Everyone can have their own definition on what diversity is. When it comes down to it though, diversity is the simple meaning of differences among people. Whether its a difference from where people come from, how they look, how they talk, what they do or how they think and view things, diversity is all of that. It's what makes everyone who they are and it's what makes everyone unique and their own individual. It's the exploration of different people and accepting one another for who they are. It's the understanding of individuals and respecting them for what they believe in and who they are. Everyone has their own background, their own ways of life and it all falls under diversity.

I ask that you watch the video posted in this blog.  It is mind numbing! What if you were one of the 100 in this miniature earth? Would you 75% richer than those around you?



Appreciate what you have and do your best for a better world! STRONG words!
