How Much Water Is on Earth? Total Water and Freshwater Explained

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • EARTH SCIENCE How Much Water Is There on Earth? Can our planet ever run out of water? Exploring Earth's enormous water reserves, the freshwater shortage and the future of humanity. Water is one of the most extraordinary and essential resources on our planet. Our planet is called the Blue Planet for a reason. Approximately 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water. But does that mean we have an unlimited supply of water for human survival? Look at the oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers and countless streams across the world. Water seems almost endless. It falls as rain, flows through rivers, disappears into the ground, freezes into ice and rises into the atmosphere as water vapour. Yet billions of people experience water shortages. Some communities struggle to obtain safe drinking water, groundwater reserves are declining in several regions, and pollution is making important water sour...

🪦 Plan Your Epitaph Day (U.S.)

📅 Observed on November 2nd — with a wink and a quill

💡 What Is Plan Your Epitaph Day?

If you think this is morbid, think again. Plan Your Epitaph Day is a humorous, thoughtful, and creative observance that invites people to imagine what they’d like engraved on their tombstone—or better yet, what legacy they want to leave behind.

In the spirit of self-awareness (and a dash of dark comedy), this day encourages us to pause and ask:

“When all is said and done, what do I want people to remember… and laugh (or cry) about?”

✍️ A Brief History with a Big Message

While the origins of this quirky observance are unclear, the message is timeless:
🔹 Reflect on life.
🔹 Embrace humor.
🔹 Celebrate individuality—even in death.

It’s not about being grim; it’s about writing your own story, in your own voice, right to the very end.

⚰️ The Epitaph Spectrum: From Deep to Delightfully Ridiculous

📜 Poignant & Poetic

  • “She lived fully, painted boldly, loved deeply.”

  • “Gone but glowing in every canvas.”

  • “He sang the song of soil and stars.”

😄 Funny & Light-Hearted

  • “I told you I was sick.”

  • “Still better than a Monday.”

  • “BRB—just rebooting.”

🎨 CRA Arts Style Epitaphs

As an artist and soul-searcher, here are some playful yet reflective options:

  • “Left footprints in pigment and prayer.”

  • “Spilled more paint than tears.”

  • “Still sketching clouds from underground.”

  • “Signed: CRA—eternally.”

🖼️ Artistic Reflections

Planning an epitaph is like signing your final artwork. It’s a statement that says:
🌿 “This was me. This was my journey.”
You can also:

  • Incorporate your art or symbols into your digital memorial

  • Paint your own epitaph stone as an artistic journal entry

  • Include your favorite quote, scripture, or made-up proverb

  • Let your personality shine—quirky, noble, or wise

🧠 Why You Should Try It (Even If You’re Young)

  • ✨ It helps clarify what matters to you

  • 🎯 It’s a fun personal challenge

  • 📝 It can spark conversations with loved ones

  • 💌 It’s a reminder to live intentionally and laugh often

💻 Let’s Make It a Tradition

You don’t need to chisel anything in granite. Grab a notebook, open a drawing pad, or post your favorite "future epitaph" on social media.

🎨 Artists, poets, and dreamers—this is your moment to be remembered your way.

📚 More Creativity & Reflection Awaits...

Rejected by KFC, Remembered by the World: The Jack Ma Story

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • SUCCESS & LEADERSHIP Rejected by KFC, Remembered by the World: The Jack Ma Story How rejection, persistence, curiosity and an unconventional vision helped shape the journey behind Alibaba. RESILIENCE • ENTREPRENEURSHIP • POSSIBILITY Sometimes, the door that closes in your face becomes the beginning of a journey you never imagined. Imagine applying for a simple job, standing among 24 candidates, and discovering that you are the only person who has not been selected. For many people, that moment could become a lasting source of embarrassment, self-doubt or resentment. For Jack Ma , the Chinese entrepreneur associated with Alibaba, this rejection became one of the most widely repeated episodes in his personal story. He has publicly recalled that 24 people applied for a KFC job in his city, 23 were accepted, and he was the one who was rejected. But the real story is not about a fast-food job. It is about wh...

Same Tree, Different Eyes: The Psychology of Perspective

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY Same Tree, Different Eyes Why we see the world differently—and how perspective shapes our decisions, relationships and lives. We do not always see things exactly as they are. We often see them through the lens of who we are. Imagine a large, beautiful tree standing beside a quiet road. Its branches stretch towards the sky, its leaves dance in the breeze, and its shade offers relief from the afternoon sun. A child might see a place to discover birds and nests. A carpenter might see the possibility of creating a table or a chair. A woodworker might think about timber. A businessperson might calculate its commercial value. An environmentalist might see biodiversity, ecological balance and the importance of conservation. The tree has not changed. Its physical presence remains the same. Yet the thoughts, emotions and possibilities it evokes are remarkably different. This simple observation ope...
