Where We Humans Live

Most humans (61%) live in Asia. The remainder live in the Americas (14%), Africa (14%), Europe (11%), and Oceania (0.5%).

Interesting note about how horses & cows eat :)

Cows have no upper front teeth, only a thick pad: they graze by wrapping their long tongues around grass and pulling on it. If the ground is wet, they will pull out the grass by the roots, preventing it from growing back. Horses have both upper and lower incisors and graze by "clipping the grass," similar to a lawn mower, allowing the grass to easily grow back.

"The Honey Song" from The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

place a beehive on my grave
and let the honey soak through.
when i'm dead and gone,
that's what i want from you.

the streets of heaven are gold and sunny,
but i'll stick with my plot and a pot of honey.
place a beehive on my grave
and let the honey soak through.

What are the top 10 keys to success?

What are the top 10 keys to success?
by Kass Hanson

[abridged - Link to full article below]

Take these Top 10 to heart for a swift kick in the pants and V-8 smack in the head.

1. 98% of our anatomy is new every year!!! Your bones are re-created every 3 months. Ooo, that’s neat! Get to work on creating YOU. Stay healthy, exercise, eat well, think positively.
2. What WILL mean a thing in 100 years is what you leave behind. Make an impact. Share your gifts. Give back.
3. One exposure to an idea results in 2% retention after 16 days. Six exposures over 6 days results in 62% retention for 15 years to life!! Stick with it.
4. It takes only 13 muscles to smile and 112 muscles to frown. Smile and save your exertion for that six pack.
5. Less than 3% of people write down their goals. Less than 1% read and review their goals regularly. Have you written something down? We’ll wait.
6. 88% of those surveyed said they often or sometimes come across people who are rude or disrespectful. Be nice. Let the love flow.
7. 90% of our worries are about things that will never happen. Well now, that frees up some time doesn’t it?
8. Read – Read – Read – every day. Learn – Listen – Teach – Change the world.
9. Don’t blame, complain, gossip, judge. Take responsibility. Drop the Drama. OK, that’s sort of a 3 in 1.
10. It’s all a matter of perspective. Be optimistic. Live, love, laugh – a lot!
11. (Bonus!) Every 14 minutes someone dies. Are you raising that stat as one of the living dead? Wake up!!! Live!
