You Only Have One Chance
Live it the way you want to live it
You will not get this again: Life.
You’ve got only one chance to live your life. So when you’re on your deathbed the best feeling you’d wish to have is to regret about as many fewer things as possible. When you’re on your deathbed, you shouldn’t say:
- I wish I had lived the life I wanted to live.
- I wish I hadn’t listened to other people’s opinions.
- I wish I had not cared so much about other people’s stuff.
That being said,
No one is going to remember you once you die. Certainly, the world isn’t going to change drastically after you die. The people you truly think love you a lot — will forget about you after a few months of your death.
And no matter how great work you have done, or how famous you became, in three generations, no one will even recall your name or remember you!
Yup. I’ve heard that line on the internet, and it’s 100% true. Do you remember your great-grandparent's name? Do your parents talk about them a lot? Maybe not. Certainly not. No matter how well they’d have for your family in terms of generational wealth, you don’t remember them.
