Question

This is my third story. When I was 17，I read a quote(引用) that something like，If you live each day it was your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right. Since then，for the past thirty?three years，I’ve looked the mirror every morning and asked myself：If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a ，I know I need to change something.

About a year ago I was with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable，and that I should to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my in order，which is doctors’ practice for prepare to ．Later that evening when the doctors the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope，they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is with surgery(外科手术).I had the surgery and， ，I’m fine now.

That was the closest I had been to facing death，and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the we all share. No one has escaped it. And that is it should be，because death is very likely the single invention of life. It’s life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make for the new. Your time is ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma(信条)—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly，have the courage to your heart and intuition(直觉)．They already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
