Something I think about a lot...

If you lived to be 100 years old...

18 years are spent as a child. Growing up, learning. These are important years, but years we are dependent on other people/parents, simply being naive and innocent.

----- 82 Years Left -----

29 years are spent sleeping an average of 7 hours a night, these are the years you've lost from sleeping.

---- 53 Years Left -----

7 years are spent being age 18-25; you go to college, earn a degree in 4 years, go to Grad School, earn a degree in 2-3 years.

---- 46 Years Left -----

18 years (assume you have 1 child) are the minimum number of years a child needs care for. Naturally, this is not a rule, but for the practicality of thispost we shall be simple and cynical.

----- 28 Years Left -----

so you only have 28 out of 100 years to really LIVE. To trave the world, to spend your hard earnings, to enjoy the luxuries of life, to explore the unexplored, to climb mount everest, to make that movie you always wanted to make, to write that book, to shake Obama's hand, to swim with sharks, whatever it is you want to do...START DREAMING now.

Life truly is. Short.
