Death have own
beauty, this gives us a sense of what we have done & what we should have
done, what we had thought important & what was that. Death is stage where
we understand the real meaning of self-respect, where we stop thinking that
what others think of me. Death is the one who realize us the importance of
life, who clear our all confusions but she is cursed, curse of lacking time or
we can say no time. Death clear our vision but they have no time whereby we can
fixed them. So, here is a letter of 24-year old dying person who left this
letter for us so we could also learn these lessons which he learn from the
death. He had no time left to fix but you have.
“I am only 24 years old, yet I have actually already chosen my last tie. It’s the one that I will wear on my funeral a few months from now. It may not match my suit, but I think it’s perfect for the occasion.

The
cancer diagnosis came too late to give me at least a tenuous hope for a long
life, but I realized that the most important thing about death is to ensure
that you leave this world a little better than it was before you existed with
your contributions . The way I’ve lived my life so far, my existence or more
precisely the loss of it, will not matter because I have lived without doing
anything impactful.
Before,
there were so many things that occupied my mind. When I learned how much time I
had left, however, it became clear which things are really important. So, I am
writing to you for a selfish reason. I want to give meaning to my life by sharing
with you what I have realized:
- Don’t waste your time on work that you don’t enjoy. It is obvious that you cannot succeed in something that you don’t like. Patience, passion, and dedication come easily only when you love what you do.
- It’s stupid to be afraid of others’ opinions. Fear weakens and paralyzes you. If you let it, it can grow worse and worse every day until there is nothing left of you, but a shell of yourself. Listen to your inner voice and go with it. Some people may call you crazy, but some may even think you‘re a legend.
- Take control of your life Take full responsibility for the things that happen to you. Limit bad habits and try to lead a healthier life. Find a sport that makes you happy. Most of all, don’t procrastinate. Let your life be shaped by decisions you made, not by the ones you didn’t.
- Appreciate the people around you. Your friends and relatives will always be an infinite source of strength and love. That is why you shouldn’t take them for granted.
It
is difficult for me to fully express my feelings about the importance of these
simple realizations, but I hope that you will listen to someone who has
experienced how valuable time is.
I’m
not upset because I understand that the last days of my life have become
meaningful. I only regret that I will not be able to see a lot of cool stuff
that should happen soon like the creation of AI, or Elon Musk’s next awesome
project. I also hope that the war in Syria and Ukraine will end soon.
We
care so much about the health and integrity of our body that until death, we
don’t notice that the body is nothing more than a box – a parcel for delivering
our personality, thoughts, beliefs and intentions to this world. If there is
nothing in this box that can change the world, then it doesn’t matter if it
disappears. I believe that we all have potential, but it also takes a lot of
courage to realize it.
You
can float through a life created by circumstances, missing day after day, hour
after hour. Or, you can fight for what you believe in and write the
great story of your life. I hope you will make the right choice.
Leave
a mark in this world. Have a meaningful life, whatever definition it has for
you. Go towards it. The place we are leaving is a beautiful playground, where
everything is possible. Yet, we are not here forever. Our life is a short spark
in this beautiful little planet that flies with incredible speed to the endless
darkness of the unknown universe. So, enjoy your time here with passion. Make
it interesting. Make it count!
Thank
you!”
