This is my third story. When I was 17,I read a quote that 1 something like,“If you live each day 2 it was your last,someday you'll most certainly be right.”Since then,for the past thirty?three years,I've looked 3 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 4 ,I know I need to change something.

  About a year ago I was  5 with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,and that I should  6 to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my 7 in order,which is doctors' code for“prepare to 8 ”. Later that evening when the doctors  9 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  10 with surgery. I had the surgery and,11 ,I'm fine now.

  This was the closest I've been to facing death,and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the 12 we all share. No one has  13 escaped it. And that is 14 it should be,because death is very likely the single 15 invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make  16 for the new. Your time is  17 ,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  18 opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly,have the courage to  19 your heart and intuition(直觉). They 20 already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
