When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right．”It made a deep   21  on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have  22  in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，  23  I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a  24  ，I know I need to change something．

    Remembering that I’ll be  25 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 26 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，  27 only what is truly important.

    About a year ago I was  28  with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs  29  order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die．I  30  with that diagnosis all day．  31  ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is  32  with surgery．I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.

Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can slao happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
