If we could shrink (缩小) the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios(比率) remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
　　There would be:
　　57 Asians
　　and 20 of these are Chinese
　　21 Europeans
　　14 from the Western Hemisphere (半球), 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
　　6 people would possess (拥有) 59% of the entire world’s wealth
　　and all 6 would be from the United States
　　80 would live in substandard(不够标准的) housing
　　70 would be unable to read
　　50 would suffer from malnutrition (营养不良)
　　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 become very apparent (明显).
　　The following is also something to think about ...
　　If you wake up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more lucky than those who are very ill and dying.
　　If you have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world.
　　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.
