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...

🎨 Go to an Art Museum Day – A Celebration of Culture, Creativity, and Inspiration( November 9)

Every year on November 9, art lovers around the world celebrate Go to an Art Museum Day. Though unofficial, this cultural observance has grown into a global reminder to pause our busy lives and reconnect with the beauty, stories, and imagination preserved within museums.

🖼️ Why Visit an Art Museum?

Art museums are not just buildings filled with paintings and sculptures. They are time machines, storytellers, and windows into humanity’s soul. When you step into one, you’re not just seeing art—you’re experiencing history, culture, and human emotion across centuries.

🌍 A Universal Celebration of Art

While the day may have begun as a small awareness idea, its significance is global:

  • Europe: Walk through the Louvre in Paris or the Uffizi in Florence.

  • Asia: Explore treasures in the National Palace Museum in Taipei or the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.

  • Africa: Discover ancient and contemporary works in the Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town.

  • Americas: From New York’s MoMA to Mexico City’s Museo Frida Kahlo, the continent bursts with creativity.

Wherever you are, there’s likely an art museum waiting to inspire you.

🎉 How to Celebrate Go to an Art Museum Day

  • Visit a Local Museum: Even small, community museums hold gems worth discovering.

  • Explore Virtually: Many world-class museums now offer free virtual tours online.

  • Sketch or Journal: Take a notebook and reflect on your favorite piece.

  • Support the Arts: Donate, volunteer, or simply share your experience to keep cultural institutions alive.

✨ The Gift of Art

Go to an Art Museum Day reminds us that art is more than decoration—it is a dialogue between the past and present, artist and viewer, self and society. Visiting an art museum is not only about admiring beauty, but also about finding inspiration for our own lives.

So this November 9, step into a museum—whether in person or online—and let the art speak to you.

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...
