you're just a tiny speck

 

@Tim Urban


the last stars will die out 120 trillion years from now
followed by 10^106 years of just black-holes

condense that - its like universe - life - 1 secs of stars
and then followed by
a billion, billion, billion, billion, billion,billion years
of just black holes

stars are basically immediate after-effects of Big-bang
1 second of the sizzle of brightness
before settling into eternal darkness
we live in that one bright second!

@KunalShah:

After repeated attempts by NASA to make us believe we are insignificant, most people retain the ability to think they’re the centre of the universe.

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
