How Many Hours Do You Have To Live?



Yesterday evening my son said “I want to stay awake a million hours”.

Think about a million.  In one sense, it’s a lot, on the other hand, it’s relatively a comprehendible number.  For instance, there are truckers that put on a million + miles in their career.

The numbers:

Almost no one lives a million hours.  A million hours is over 114 years.  Considering how fast an hour goes by, I was a little shocked.  Just think of the hours ticking away.  Most people probably only have about 700,000 – 750,000 hours total to use, and close to 1/3 of those will be spent sleeping.

Only about 880,000 hours have passed since the Titanic sank.

What are you and I doing with the few hours we have to use?
