Mary Thinks That History is Repeating Itself

About 1 century ago, an island was discovered by a British and was named SG. Chinese from China flocked to this island to seek for a new living. Today, similiarly, we see Chinese from China flocking to this island. This caused a rapid rise in the local's population and the ratio now is about 1 PRC: 5 local.

Under the British's control, Singapore developed rapidly. Buildings, houses, road, drainage constructed and SG soon devolped into a fine country. Today, similiarly, everywhere is under construction. Sentosa, Marina, Orchard, expressways etc. Old buildings like scotts were tore down and new buildings rising everywhere one after another, Vivo follow by Ion Orchard, each claiming to be the biggest shopping centre.

In the past, other than immigrants, some chinese from china came over to SG temporary and work. Money earned were sent back to their homeland and this leads to an outflow of cash in the local market. In order to keep the money circulating within the island itself, opium den were built along places where the chinese travel to remit money. Today, similiarly, 2 Casinos were built on the same time, leading to heavy construction on the 2 places of interest in SG.

What will be the future prediction for business in SG? You know it.

Mary's Theory: Speeding Kills

Mary thinks that our life span is pre-destinated and life is a journey. Therefore, how long we can live is equal to how far we can travel. When you speed, you take a shorter time to travel a same distance. With a pre-destinated distance that each individual can travel and a shorter time we take to complete this journey, our life generally shorten. This is how it works. This theory also explains why we aged faster if we face more stress in life. So according to Mary's Theory,

No of years to live = pre-destinated distance / speed(miles/year)

Pre-destinated distance is a constant, therefore, no of years to live is indirect proportional to our speed. Years decrese with increasing speed. So,

Stop Speeding, Cause Speeding Kills.
