How Long Can We Live?

To answer the question, "How long can we live?", we need to put it into perspective. In seconds, you could possibly live for five billion of them. This is roughly comparable to the number of bits of information in our genetic code, which is thought to contain five billion bits of information. In minutes, you can expect to live about eighty million of them. The popular song from the Broadway show "Rent", tells how there are 525,600 minutes in a year. That's a lot of minutes. In hours, you can expect to live about a million of them, maybe even a million and a half. That is a lot of hours, considering it takes about ten thousand hours to master a subject, like becoming a veterinarian, or an expert golfer, but that still leaves nine hundred and ninety thousand hours to have fun with. In days, we are built to live for fifty five thousand days. To put that into perspective, if you read one page a day in a modestly sized book of two hundred pages, it would take you two hundred and seventy five books to span your lifetime. Most people don't even read a hundred books in their lifetime, so you have plenty of time for reading. Remember, leaders are readers, and you can't ever know too much. Michael Faraday achieved scientific prominence because he was not happy with just being a printing assistant. He self educated himself to the point of being one of histories greatest scientists. And finally, in years, we are built to last for one hundred fifty years. That is an incredibly long lifespan. Think of all that you could accomplish in a hundred and fifty years! Design for yourself a compelling future and create a masterpiece out of your life. You only get one, so live it to the fullest! My book can tell you how!
