Rimanete giovani, rimanete folli 
The third story is about death.
When I was 17 I read a quote that went well ':
"
If you live each day as if it were the last, surely sooner or later you will have reason .
I hit ', and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning. asking "
If today were the last day of my life, I do what I am about to do today? "
And whenever the answer is "no
" for too many days in a row, I understand that there is something that must be changed. Remember that I will die soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to make the big choices in my life.
Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment and failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remember
che dobbiamo morire è il modo migliore che io conosca per evitare di cadere nella trappola di chi pensa che avete qualcosa da perdere.
Siete già nudi.
Non c'è ragione per non seguire il vostro cuore. Più o meno un anno fà mi è stato diagnosticato un cancro.
Ho fatto la scansione alle sette e mezzo del mattino e questa ha mostrato chiaramente un tumore nel mio pancreas. Non sapevo neanche che cosa fosse un pancreas. I dottori mi dissero che si trattava di un cancro che era quasi sicuramente di tipo incurabile e che avrei avuto un'aspettativa di vita non superiore ai 3 - 6 mesi.
Il mio dottore mi consigliò di andare a casa e di mettere ordine nei miei business, which is their code to tell you to prepare to die. This means that you should try to tell your kids everything you thought to tell him over the next ten years, in a few months.
This means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that your family is as simple as possible. This means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, which is the result stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into the intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few tumor cells.
I was sedated but my wife - Who was there - I said that when doctors have viewed the cells under the microscope started crying because it turned out to be a very rare cancer, curable with surgery.
I had the surgery and I'm fine.
This was the time when I went closer to death and I hope its the closest for decades. Having lived through it I can now say with some certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept and say:
Nobody wants to die.
Even people who want to go to heaven do not want to die to get there.
And despite all the death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.
It is as it should be
because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life . And
'Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
now the new is you, but someday not too far away gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but is also the truth.
Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else's life.
Do not be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Non lasciate che il rumore delle opinioni altrui offuschi la vostra voce interiore.
E, cosa più importante di tutte, abbiate il coraggio di seguire il vostro cuore e la vostra intuizione.
In qualche modo loro sanno che cosa volete realmente diventare.
Tutto il resto è secondario.
