When studying in a middle school，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 36 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have 37 in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life， 3 8 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 39 ，I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I’ll be 40 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 41 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death， 42 only what is truly important.

About a year ago I was 43 with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs 44 order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I 45 with that diagnosis all day. 46 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is 47 with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

48 wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all 49 . No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of 50 . It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to 51 for the new. Right now the new is you. But someday not too 52 from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.

Your time is 53 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife. Don’t be 54 by dogma(教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 55 . And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.

I learned how to accept life as it is from my father . 41 , he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 42 and ill.

My father was 43 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 44 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 45 .

I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 　36 .

He had gone out of the study for some 　37 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see 　38 was on his desk. In the middle 　39 　a small piece of paper on 　40 were written the words “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.

A(n) 41 boy would have avoided looking at the title 　42 he saw the paper. But I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 　43 until the start of the exam so I could not 　44 reading it.

When the headmaster 　45 ，I was looking out of the window.

I should have told him what had 　46 then. It would have been so 　47 to say: “I’m sorry, but I saw 　48 for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 　49 it.”

The chance passed and I did not 　50 it. I took the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t mean to cheat, but it was still cheating 　51 　.

That was thirty-eight years ago 　52 I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor 　53 tried to explain to myself why not.
