| 5 days | X | 75.29 years | = 376 days or 1 year and 11 days |
I suppose the real questions for you are:
- have you wasted 5 days or more in a year?
- do you find yourself wasting time regularly?
- how many "years" do you think you waste in your limited life?
No-one particularly likes to think of themselves as wasting time, and for those people who drift through life like a cork on water I suspect it is less of a problem. But for those people who want success and create or discover a purpose for their life, there is a tendency to begrudge every wasted moment. The meaning, purpose and passion of their life is just too precious to allow that. Time appreciation and time management are necessarily important to the person seeking success.
The figures for my article came from the CIA world factbook, which I use as much for convenience as it provides reasonably trustworthy data. I could have used other resources to calculate lifespan, at say the United Nations it's just that extracting the data was more difficult, and there are not greatly significant differences in the data for the purposes of the article. Hey, it saved me time!
The data below has been extracted from the CIA world factbook, and gives the life expectancy for some of the better known countries around the world, if your country is missing from the list then I apologise for the inconvenience - you will need to look up your country's details yourself.
The calculation for the equivalent days was a fairly straight forward task. Multiply the life expectancy figure by 365.25 (the 0.25 allows for leap years) and round to the nearest whole figure. Thus, to calculate lifespan for our average male born in the United States, in 'days':
| life expectancy of 75.29 | X | 365.25 days in a year | = 27499.6725 days rounded to 27500 days |
Here are the other figures for you to play with, and it may help you to remember that
- 1,000 days is roughly 2 and three-quarter years or 2 years 9 months
- 10,000 days is roughly 27 and a third years or 27 years 4 months
