January, the 1st Around The World
The usual pattern is to get what we see around us for granted, to assume the whole world operates the same. Yet, it doesn't. I love getting a sneak peek around: it cuts the noise and brings clarity to me.
FACTS
๐ฐ๐ฎ The Pacific island nation of Kiribati (population 133,500) is first to ring in New Year
๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ช๐ฌ About 10% of the world doesn't celebrate January 1 due to religious calendars. Israel follows Jewish calendar falling in September or October. Egypt follows Coptic calendar which places major festivals 12 days later.
๐ The Islamic calendar year is 14 days shorter than the Gregorian year: 354 days vs. 366 in leap years
IN HISTORY
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ In 1600, Scotland recognized January 1 as the start of the year instead of March 25
๐บ๐ธ On January 1, 1835, President Andrew Jackson achieved his goal of entirely paying off the US national debt. The ONLY time in history it stood at zero. It precipitated a financial crisis.
๐บ๐ธ Ellis Island opened on Jan, 1, 1892, eventually making possible immigration of over 20M people. ~ 40$ of all Americans have at least 1 ancestor who came through Ellis Island
TRADS
๐ฎ๐น In Italy, people wear red underwear on New Year's Day for good luck - a tradition from medieval times!
๐ฌ๐ฑ All race horses in the Northern Hemisphere traditionally celebrate their birthday on Jan, 1, regardless of actual birth date.
๐ Jan, 1 is also "Z Day," when people whose names start with Z get to go first instead of last
SAD BONUS
More marriages end in divorce or separation in January than any other month Medium. Lawyers call it a "divorce month."
Any part that impressed you the most?

"Thx, I'm good" ๐ง ๐ค
Have you ever heard "I'm good" and wondered why the hell the personcalls himself/herself a good boy ?
This is actually a polite way to decline an offer or indicate that you don't need anything. It's typically used in responses like:
๐ When your granny offers you another salad:
"Would you like some Olivier?" โ "Thank you, I am good."
๐ When someone asks if you need help:
"Do you need any help improving English?" โ "Thank you, I am good."
The phrase combines gratitude ("thank you" for the offer) with a decline ("I am good" meaning "I'm fine/satisfied/don't need that"). It's considered more polite than simply saying "no" because it acknowledges the person's kindness in offering.
