If the Earth’s population shrank to exactly 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, what would we be left with?
57 of those people would be from Asia.
21 would be from Europe.
8 would be from Africa.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
50 percent of the wealthy would belong to only six people
70 people would be unable to read
1 person would have a college education
Which of these statistics surprised you? Comment here.

"What makes our labor holy, what makes it eternal, is not just the work but the state of our hearts while performing that work. When we comprehend that truth, then we realize washing dishes is as significant to the Kingdom as operating on a patient; driving a truck is as eternally triumphant as leading a company. Then, even in the zig-zags of our careers, when life seems more random than ordered, when it feels like we're running in thick mud with heavy boots, we can rest in the knowledge we're serving God as we labor faithfully and diligently."

I'm surprised at the wealth statistic. I would have guessed more wealth to fewer people.
Either way, I'm certain that I'm among the six. I don't allow myself to forget it.
70% cannoy read was a shocker for me.
