Question

This is my third story.When I was seventeen, I1a quote (引文) that went something like, " If you live each day2it was your last, someday you'11 most certainly be right." Since then, for the past thirty-three years, I've looked3the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, what would I do ?" And when there was no answer for too many days in a4, I know I need to change something.
About a year ago I5from cancer.The doctors told me it was incurable, and that I should6to live no longer than three to six months.They advised me to get my7in order, which is doctors' code (代名词) for "prepare to8".Later when the doctors9the cells taken from my pancreas (胰腺) under a microscope, they found it turned out to be a very rare form of cancer that is10with surgery.I had the surgery and,11, I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing12, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.Death is the destination we all13.No one has ever escaped it.And that is14it should be, because death is very likely the single15invention of life.It clears out the old to make16for the new.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living17life.Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out ( 盖过) your own inner18.And most importantly, have the courage to19your heart and intuition (直觉).They20already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.
