Million vs. Trillion

Sometimes, the world needs a bit of perspective. Dave Reed provides some of this perspective in the quote below (via):

To get an idea how much bigger one trillion is than one million, ponder this: A million seconds is 12 days; a trillion seconds is 32,000 years.

Now get this: It is estimated that in the universe there are a trillion stars for every human being on planet Earth.

Sometimes it’s good to be reminded just how small we really are, but just how large of an impact we can have on the world and the people around us.
