If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-christian
30 would be christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire worls's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 would have a college education (yes, only 1)
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

self-esteem
When we talk about children, we also talk about their future. In order to prepare for them to face the world, they must have enough self-esteem so that they won't easily get influence by the people.
A child with low self-esteem not only will easily influence by others but also afraid to risk trying new things, quickly frustrated by setbacks, and blames others for failure. Worst of all, s/he would feel unloved.
To parents, a good way to help their child feel confident about her/his abilities is to ask them to help you with chores around the house such as prepare a simple meal or take care of a pet. S/he will have a sense of accomplishment. Along the way, encourage her/him by giving honest praise and avoid criticism.
Lastly, parents should always communicate with their child. Stop and listen whenever s/he has sth to say and let him know his feelings and thoughts matter. Always support them as a child's self-esteem develops as s/he grows and nurture it as much as possible, so that s/he may grow up strong, happy and healthy.
(P.S. the children) protect and save the children

how naive am i...
i just realized something...the world can be very cruel even though when you less expected it.
In my gp class today, we did a data which was about 3 different types of dismissal letter . We were asked to choose one and give reasoning.
Draft 1 was out because it is informal. Between draft 2 and draft 3, draft 2 is more friendly and considerate. Whereas draft 3 is so detailed that at the end of the employeè's name wrote down (male)! It also included a list of complaints about the employee.
Around 80% of my class chose draft 3. Maybe because i'm a sensitive person, if i was given the letter, i will definitely get irritate...

I thought the guy that i always dream of would not appear in my life. However, he appeared without noticing...i got this mixed feeling...
And the rest is mystery...

to those who constantly feel unsecure and threatened due to stressful situation
living in this era is really challenging and not that simple anymore. Its no more merely go to the jungle, hunting to get food to survive on the earth. We are constantly confront problems which sometimes seems like impossible to solve...this lead to stressful condition. We become frustuating, hate ourselves and start to blame things...what a sad thing to hear...
It happens in our society. However, we didn't realise that our family members also get the impact which is why many children couldn't get personal peace when their parents are in such condition and vice-versa. Many sad and unfortunate things can happen for extreme case...
Communicating is necessary but sometimes cannot achieve in such situation. Such people should get personal counselling, telling them that things such as money is man creation. Our ancestors don't need them for survive. Instead we should always remind ourselves the real reasons behind for our existance in this world. We as part of the earth-which will eventually return back to land as soil, should be aware with the environmet and appreciate the nature instead of clogging our minds with present problems due to hectic lifestyle.
