Your Last Day
The is one of the most pondering questions for me:
"What would you do if today is your last day in your life?".
- Would you just go out and have a blast?
- Drink a 6-pack?
- Spend all of your savings and investments on anything?
- Go out and send your last greetings to your family?
- Go out and do something stupid so you get front page on the newspapers?
- Or, absolutely nothing?
There are just so many things to do and only 24 hours. However, if you were
actually in this position, you probably wouldn't waste your time thinking it over. You would just go out and do whatever comes to your mind. At most occasions, you wouldn't know that it was your last day. If you knew you were going to die, you would probably have up to 6 months notice from your doctor.
Steve Jobs mentioned during a
speech that he began asking himself something like "If today were my last day, would I do what I'm about to do". He said something like "in too many days in a row, the answer was no". So he changed and started doing things, according to his story.
This should be thought through thouroughly. You want to be remembered positively. Also, there should only be one thing on your "Things to do before I die" list. That one thing should be, "Become successful". Everyone has their own perspective on success. I see success as happiness. So if I have been happy and proud of myself, I know I have done well. Unfortunately I can't say that yet. So go out and do what you want to do, just DO your dreams, because you never know what can happen in the next week, day, hour, or even minute.
So what would I do if I had 24 more hours? I would say my last greetings to everyone I know as the first priority. I would probably go to the most expensive restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I suppose I would just try to enjoy myself.
And what would you do?
