Why You Are Special

Why You Are Special

 

The world is a fabulous place.

 

Through land, sea and air, are creatures. Billions of creatures with their own ecosystems, ways of living and many yet to be discovered. From the smallest living organisms, to the largest of dinosaurs. There are creatures unbeknownst to us, and the millions stored neatly in alphabetized encyclopedias for us all to stare in wonder.

 

Each species takes its own unique path of life, in a world of evolution, where over millions of years, may look entirely new, to adapt to the world that surrounds them. Some living high in the snowy mountains and those living deep beneath the surface of the earth. It’s hard to believe that one sole planet, of the eight in the solar system (Sorry, Pluto), could be so abundant in living beings and that it supports them.

 

In this world, the humans are a young specimen, dating as far back as 14 million years ago, compared to Earth being 4.543 billion years old. Yet, within this time, we’ve still a long way to go, to fully realize how the body and mind of the human anatomy function. Today, we still gasp in awe of what amazing things the human body can do. Even the world’s strongest super-computers have problems decoding a single strand of DNA.

 

With 46 chromosomes in each cell, each tightly packed with DNA, there is roughly 20,000 strands per cell, or, 43.4782609 per chromosome. Each DNA strand goes into what makes us who we are. No two humans, out of the 7+ billion alive today, look alike.

 

It’s truly stunning that just one species, of its own, can be so diverse, with several races and people of different colors, faces, hairstyles, clothing choices, etc. Each one has their own likes, dislikes and preferences, talents and personalities, making every individual human special. To say a person is one in a million, is quite an understatement, since it’s completely false!

 

If you’re reading this, you should know you aren’t anything close to one in a million.

 

One in over 7 billion sounds more accurate.

 

But what is the point in this, other than to spew million year old facts we already know about?

 

Well, it’s to show you’re special.

 

You’re you and there’s only one of you.

 

Whether you’re a newborn who can’t quite read this yet, or a toddler in his first day of kindergarten. Maybe you’re a pre-teen who’s trading playing cards with friends at school, or a young adult who enjoys their time playing Tanki Online. Perhaps you’re a businessman who makes his living by providing your family with the love and care they need. Or you’re reaching the elderly years, reflecting back on your life, remembering all you can and why it was special.

 

The world is a fabulous place.

 

A wonderful place, waiting for you to take your shot. So, don’t you ever forget who you are, why you’re special and someday, the world’s going to know your name.

So I didn't actually have to make any edits on this, so I just want to thank you real quick for taking the time to write a high quality article. It's always refreshing to not have to fix a ton of things.  :ph34r:

 

Anyways, onto my comments.

 

1). I love that song, I've had it in my playlist for a while. Glad you included it; it really complements your piece thematically. 

2). I really liked your transition from the scientific uniqueness into the more pathos-oriented discussion. It worked out well and definitely made the article much more noteworthy.

 

Don't really have much with critiques because frankly, some articles are best left as is. Excellent work.  ;)

People are more special than they believe, and they should be thankful with the life, because...

means there's things to be improved, liek grahmmur and punctuation and i as a writer find it very irritating when people fail to use commas like they dont exist and especially on going sentences not to forget the m is lowercase at the start <--- loool no period

Yes that would fit the case.

I'm pru of long sentence that start with one idea and finish with another one.
