"The total number of people who have ever been born is estimated to be about 100 billion. The total possible number of people who could ever be born is astronomically large, roughly 10 to the 30th power (a billion trillion trillion). This number is likely even larger, which means that in practical terms, no one who will ever be born will be identical to you. This fact is not the most important; rather, it's that we're the lucky ones. We're the ones who get to die because we've lived. Most people who could ever exist will never even be born. You're alive, not dead, so take the time to smell the flowers, drink in sunsets and sunrises, and admire the majestic sky above you. Celebrate it because you won the lottery. Most people will never even know there was a lottery. If that's not motivation to live life to the fullest, I don't know what is."
Neil deGrasse Tyson
