Live and Learn

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever."
Mahatma Gandhi

What would you do today if you knew for sure that you were going to die tomorrow? The truth is that nobody knows when they're going to die. So for all you know, it might just be that today is your last day on earth. How many regrets would you have if that happened? How many things would you be sorry that you never told a certain person? How many things would you wish that you had experienced during your life?
We all go through life focused on some time in the future when we would be happy. But there may not be any future. All we really have is the present, so that is the time to be happy.

Do you know everything you think you need to know? The more intelligent a person is, the more he realizes how little he knows. When you are really living, you should be learning at least one new thing every day. The world is endlessly full of fascinating wonders. A really successful person knows to never stop learning. There is always something else he needs to know. If you were going to live forever, what would you want to understand about life? perhaps the first thing is "How do I become successful?"
