I loved how it inspired me to think of the highly relative nature of size. Compared to us, an ant is small, but compared to the Grand Canyon, we are smaller than an ant’s turd. To envision your size relative to the Earth, imagine a ball with a diameter that reaches from Seattle to Baltimore—30% larger than our moon. Where you’re standing, it doesn’t look like a globe, but even on a flat, featureless plane, you’re only seeing 0.0000157% of the surface. One big trick to success in life is being smart enough not to refuse their help.
