How Many People Do You Depend Upon?


Answer: 5,000 - 10,000 

Question: How many people do you depend upon every day of your life?


Point: Make sure you thank as many as you can along your way every day.  And for those that you cannot thank directly (the overwhelming majority of them), keep them in your thoughts and prayers.


Here is a small list of them and/or what they provide you with:

Water (treatment plant operators, pipe fitters, repairmen, etc)

Electricity (so many people in that)

Energy (the people involved with oil, natural gas, nuclear power, etc)

Transportation

Food (planting, harvesting, processing, transporting, stocking, serving, etc)

Safety and Security (national defense, state and local; police, firemen, etc)

Truckers

Manufacturing, hardware, software, clothing, and beyond

Healthcare related (medications, doctors, nurses, affiliated professionals)

Maintenance personnel


Again, make sure to thank them or be thankful for them,


Wishes for a great day to all,

Each one a gift,

David/
