My favorite quote goes thus
"LIVE AS IF YOU WERE TO DIE TOMORROW,
LEARN AS IF YOU WERE TO LIVE FOREVER . Mahatma Gandhi
I see this quote as a reminder to be grateful of our existence and cherish each day that we are given.
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow"
If you are to die tomorrow, what would you wish you had done that you have not done yet?
This quote means you should have a mindset that death can come anytime, therefore, you should live your life to the fullness, do whatever you feel like doing whenever you feel like doing it.
Don't be afraid to live, let life be the reason you are living, If possible, live your life without regrets.
"Learn as if you were to live forever"
Why not learn since you can actually live forever.
Everything we learn end up being useful for us one way or the other, so why not learn new things everytime you have the opportunity to.
It's important to continue to challenge ourselves mentally and physically.
Just pretend that there's no tomorrow and do whatever you want to do in life. At the same time, don't postpone learning because for even the littlest matters.
The big oceans are made up of many tiny drops of water, aren't they?
