I Guess I Am MORE TRAVELLED Than 99% Of People (But That Isn't Much).

 

Saw the above (to the left) post/meme on Facebook this morning.

Funnily enough, just last week, I had started to compile my own list -- but wasn't comfortable posting it because I still need to double/triple check it.

I know I have travelled more than SOME.

Not sure what the 99% refers to, i.e., people from what COUNTRY or whether it refers to the world population in general.

Long time ago I realized being in the TOP 2% in the World -- means NOTHING.

There is a LOT of people in the World, i.e., 8.3 BILLION.

2% of 8.3 Billion is 1.7 MILLION.

Being one of 1.7 MILLION is not that special.

That was in terms of IQ. I was told (more than once) that I am in the top 2% in the world in terms of IQ. 

But, I was smart enough to do the math. I am among 1.7 million people. That is NOT special.

So, 1%, is 0.85 million. Less, but not that special.

So, there are close to a MILLION people who have travelled more than I. 😇
