How many people sit around and think about time?
How it passes by?
What makes it seems to go so fast?
Its not something that occupies to many minds daily.
For instance, do you think about the fact that there is 168 hours in a week, calculating up to 8765.81277 in a year?
Or that there is 604,800 seconds in a week making it 31,556,926 seconds in a year?
This is a valid fact that simply slips our minds.
Even the simplest things such as the lifespan of a beaver being anywhere from 16-20 years.
Or that a tree has no natural life span and could theoretically live forever, slips our busy little minds.
Naturally most people consume themselves with the day to day lives of themselves and those closely around them.
It may be because some of these simple little facts are quite boring and completely irrelevant to the survaval of the human species...
However, when one stops to think about life's little details, one would be amazed to find some of the amazing facts on earth.

Another outstanding example is Albert Einstein. Einstein is know for his great intelligence and contributions to the scientific world. But do people know that he was German born? Or perhaps that neither one of his parents had any knowledge of mathematics or scientific facts? Or even quite possibly that Einstein also studied the violin from ages 6 to 13. Even greater the question is how well known is it that the ever so brilliant Einstein, had a failing attempt to skip high school and go straight into Swiss Polytechnic University? He in fact did have to return and finish high school before entering into Swiss Federal Polytechnic School, then later graduating with a degree in physics.
My challenge to you is to take a moment and look up something interesting and abstract. Some off the wall fact you would never think of. Then share that fact with another. See how many minds you can blow with one simple fact, you would have never given a second thought to before. The idea is to expand the mind and not be so shallow in our thoughts. by sharing with others we also help to expand their minds as well. (=
