P E O P L E

In many ways the saying " Know Yourself " is not well said.
It were more practical to say " Know other people ! "
Menander , 343-292. Greek poet.



We all know that there are lots and lots of people in the world and many more millions each year.There are now over 6,000,000,000 human beings on earth.

By the year 2050 there will be 9,000,000,000 people on earth.If we all joined hands , the line would be 5,708,806 miles long and would stretch 229 times around the equator.

Each and every one of us different from all the others. Each one a unique individual in his or her own right.

We come in all sizes and shapes : tall , short , and in between.But ,without a single exception , we all began quite small!
And we come in many colors. Even our eyes have different shapes and colors.
And noses come in every shape imaginable. So do faces, ;ops, and ears and everything else !

Think of our hair: from snow white ti pitch black...straight , curly, kinky, and wavy. And a lot of people have no hair at all !

People are funny : some with straight hair want theirs to be wavy, and others with little curls want theirs straight.

People around our world wear different clothes or none at all.
All of us want to look our best .Still , what is considered beautiful or handsome in one lace is considered ugly, and even ridiculous ,elsewhere.

Some of us are wise. Some of us are foolish. But most if us are somewhere in between.
Most people are decent, honest ,friendly,and well meaning , but some are none of these.
Some of us love noise, whereas others simply cannot stand it.
And not everybody's idea of a good time is alike.
