Do You Believe ThisYour life is no more than 900 Squares
Sometimes, graphics hits a nerve more
directly than words do. Someone recently did a little math:
If a month is represented by a tiny square, then your life is, in fact,
only 900 squares.
Now draw a 30×30 table on a A4 paper and
check one square for every month. Maybe you’ve never really thought
about it, but you’ll be surprised how short life can be when it is
measured this way.
If you’re 20 years old,
this is how much life you have already spent:
 |
If you just had a baby, the
time you will spend with him/her before he/she goes to
kindergarten will be:
 |
Suppose you see each other
every day, the time you spend with them will be:
 |
If you’re in a romantic
relationship with
someone for six months, this is how it’s going to be on the
paper:
 |
Before your kids leave home
for college, this is roughly the time you are going to spend
with each other:
 |
If you see each other twice
a month, the time you spend with them will be:
 |
If you’re 30 years old
working hard every day, your life will be:
 |
Suppose your parents live
to an average of 50 years old, their lives will be:
 |
If you see each other only
once a year, it will be:
 |
Now try drawing your
life on an A4 paper, and see how much squares are there left. If you
have something you wanted to do but never got the chance to, do it
before it is too late. Make it shown in the squares above. |
