If today was the last day of you life...

[SamMalone]

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in 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 row, I know I need to change something.

This was from the original speech.

No, I'd probably be dying

I would take my car out,drive extremely fast. Go up and kiss every girl I saw who was mildly attractive and come home and spend time with my family.

Since you didnt ask what I would do I will just answer your question.

"No."

How many here would really answer yes? (Unless they had a hell of a f uckin day planned)

I'd be prayin for my soul...I would hate to goto Hell for the small Stupid stuff.

I understand what you're trying to get at, and I picked 'no', but it's kind of un-fair question. Because we have long term plans. We expect to live an X amount of years. If you were told at the very last minute that this was the last day of your life, most people would probably have spent it differently simply 'cause they would forget about all their long term plans.
But I'm just nitpicking. I do see your point and I think that most people are too lazy in their bad habits to make things happen in life.

I would do things I would be ashamed of doing the next day.

Look man, the simple and must abundantly true answer is the following:

If what you are about to do contains the use of marijuana in any way, then yes the last day of your life would be good.

If there is no mention of mary jane into the equation, then no, your last day on this earth will be misreable for not cherishing gods green gift.

Do you really wanna die this way?

Thanks for finding that. That's a great article and I couldn't find my link to it for some reason.
