What if you were to find out that you have one year to live? I was in a situation like it and i had so much that went through my head. I though of things that i have not done yet and the things that i would love to do before i die. What about you?

i don't wish to, but if ever i would spend my time and all resources to build my goal - build a business that exports stuff. a business where workers are mostly abandoned by the society or the handicapped but capable to work after training and are designate in different areas according to their skills and/or talents. =)

nope, it's not. that is my plan in the near future. i plan to earn much to support myself and family so that i can put up a business of my own to help people esp the ones abandoned by the society and still continue working for myself and family. have the money earned by the future business keep going and generating for more establishments. i know it's gonna be difficult for me but i hope so. =)

I would just spend my entire life trying to help others and making a difference, that time is too short for me to care about myself. It sounds like it should be the other way round but it's this way round for me.

if i had only one year to live, i would try to live it to the fullest and most richful. first i will spend about 3 months to stay with my family, my relatives and my friends, talking or doing things with them and leaving as more memory as i can with them. for me, it's kind of way of "saying goodbye", but of course, i will not tell them i am gonna die. and after i "say goodbye", i will spend another 6 months to travel everywhere to enjoy different views and different cultures, meet different people. and on this travel journey, i also hope to try my best to help people who need help, even if they are just strangers to me. last, i will leave the last 3 months to myself. maybe i will find a quite place near seaside to live in. i will think through my life and write sth down, including how i live the last year in my life. then i will also write some letters to my family and some friends.

I would try to spend as much as time as possible with my family, I wouldn't be a down in life because that will not really help with anything, just would try to live my life as a happy moment with the ones I love.

That's a deep question tvdsoccer! Making sure I am right with God would be first, I would definitely spend as much time as possible with my children, I would learn to do the things I always wanted to such as: swim, ride a bike, skate, and drive a car................I know......I know But I would tell the people I love that I love them everyday. Take care and God Bless!

If I had just one year to live, I would walk and walk all through the lonely places by day, and at night, I'd share laughter and conversations with my daughters.

If only i would know that i would die in one year. i would not tell anyone. I would live as if there is no tomorrow. I will not change my routine. I will be the same but will give more happiness to others. This reminds me of Lance Armstrong...he won 7 medals when he came to know that he had cancer.

I would take a really big loan from a bank.. Like as big of a loan as I can, then just travel to all the places I've always wanted to go to. If I had a job at the time I would quit it, and just party and have fun everyday! It would be nice to not have to worry about responsibilities and how what I'm doing will affect my future.. So I would just be doing things that I like to do instead of things I HAVE to do to make a better future for myself.
