On occasion I get this remarkable feeling that I can achieve great things so easily, yet it fades soon after. I've used the question that if and when I die, "how will I feel about my life?". Will I be happy about everything I did? Will I have regrets? Was my life successful?

And this drives me to work harder because I don't want to look back on my life and feel bad about things I never did. It was mildly inspired by something I saw in a newspaper; a nurse did a survey on what elderly people who are soon to die or have a terminal illness regret not doing in their lives.

I just searched for it;
A nurse has recorded the most common regrets of the dying, and among the top ones is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'. What would your biggest regret be if this was your last day of life?


1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

It's good that I now know from what people wanted to do in their lives so I can make up for what I might regret.

Motivation is a good kick-starter, but it's pointless in the long run. What you really need is discipline and determination.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

OP, why are your posts trying to sum up my thoughts?

Answers I have: Music, Watching news(So, you can get mad and see how terrible things really are), God(really helps in times of strife).

Nobody argue with me on the last one, I'm not going to argue, and it never ends well.

As an atheist I can vouch for this. My brother was helped greatly by a firm belief in God.
