    2. The video and quote are basically saying that we should not wait to do something with our life, we should just do it. Not everyone is guaranteed a tomorrow, so we should start now and make our life the best of our life.

    3. To me the quote is saying that we shouldn't wait for something to affect our life to make us motivated to live our life to the fullest, we should just live our life to the fullest everyday. Every minute of every day we should try to make our life the best because there is a purpose for us in this world and we aren't guaranteed a tomorrow. We are given one shot at life, make every second of every minute of every day count.

    4. If everyone knows that they should do something great with their life, it will motivate them into making that big decision on changing their current way of life for the best. We shouldn't live a basic life, we should live a great life, by achieving goals, making our dreams come true, and most importantly finding our purpose of life. Don't wait to change because it may be a little too late. Stop telling yourself your gonna change and then do nothing, tell yourself that you are going to change and do something.

    I can apply these concepts to my life to benefit it by knowing that there is a purpose for me in this world. I now know that I shouldn't wait to make my life the greatest later, I should make it the greatest now . We should make every single day count and do what needs to be done because we aren't guaranteed a tomorrow. We all are given one chance at life, so make your life worth living.

    1) ALREADY DID

    2)The video and the quote are saying that we should always live life to the fullest because we only have one life. We should always make wise choices. We should also live life to the fullest because we don't know what can happen to us tomorrow.

    3)This quote means that we shouldn't wait for something bad to happen to our lives in order for us to live life to the fullest. We should also live life to the fullest because we only have one shot at life and anything can happen to us. We should always make wise decisions.

    4)This video matters because now we know that we should always make wise decisions . We should always live life to the fullest because we don't know what can happen to us. We only have one chance to do what we want to do in life. We should always hold yourself to a higher standards. There are only so many tomorrows.

    This can make our lives better because now that we know that we should live life to the fullest. We also, only have only one chance in life. We all don't know when we are going to die. We should all hold ourself to a higher standard. There are only so many tomorrows . Whatever we want to do we have to do it now.

  4. 1. Watched video

    2.The quote and video both base there point on living up to your potential and not waiting until something happens.Basically, meaning that you shouldn't wait to do something.You should just do the goal or standard in life with no conflict.

    3.Based on my understanding, the two sources talk mainly about how you should do your best to complete something since tomorrow isn't promised.You should take chances cause you only have one chance in life.Your goal should not be a should,it needs to become a must.

    4. The point expressed through both sources can matter in many kinds of forms.One way it matters is because many people believe they have much more time to complete a certain goal.That type of people lose time waiting and not trying to accomplish their goal but at the end they speed up everything trying to finish.Another way it matters , is because people push their goals to the side and once something that opens their eyes happen , they sudden want to restore all the lost time.There are many ways it can matter but there are also ways I can apply it to my life.

    There are some ways I can apply it to my life.I can apply it to my life by not wasting time and doing everything that I am able to do.Another way I can apply it is by not waiting to accomplish many goals and actually trying to move on my own with provided help.For example, many of the opportunities that are being offered to help me move on to the next level might not be there next time.In order to apply the concept,I would have to accept and reach the limit until I'm not promised a tomorrow.

    1. DONE

    2. The video and quote are trying to say live your life now. You never know when you're going to die. You have to live today like if there were no tomorrow. Also change the ways you think and behave now in a positive way.

    3. To me the quote can mean many things. First off to me it means that you need to live life to the fullest. Stop saving for special occasions and setting timelines for yourself to do something. Get it done now and don't wait for next time because there might never be a next time.

    4. I feel the video can matter to everyone. Especially for people that procrastinate way too much about things. It's better to get things done now instead of waiting to do it next time. Not many people end up achieving there goals before they die because they procrastinate about it too much. The video can also matter because many people need to change the way they are moving in life. Many people are moving in the wrong direction in life and all they have to do is make the right decisions to turn it around and get the most out of their lives.

    Something that I can apply to my life is the quote. Something I know I do a lot is save things for later. What I mean by this is for example when I get something new, I wait a while to use it because I'm too worried about it being damaged. I feel that I should stop doing this because I only have so many tomorrows to experience. You might as well live life to the fullest and get the most out of it as you can. Not many people get to experience life to the fullest because all they do is procrastinate about doing things and never get to experience it.

    2 The quote and the video talk about how you should use every day of your life to the fullest. Do not wait for a special day as every day is a special day.

    3 Based upon my understanding this means every day is a special day and you shouldn't wait for a specific day to do something if you can do it today. And I think that is more than true as it teaches the value of every day.

    4 This matters because I learn from it that every day is a special day because every day you can accomplish something. I think this quote means a lot and says a lot about people and the procrastination they do.
    So yes I think this quote is very true.

    Also this quote talks about the benefits of doing stuff before they are due. If you wait until the last day every day then you will make this a habit and not a good habit but a bad habit. I learn from this quote as I procrastinate on my stuff as well.

    1. Done.

    2. Don't let your current situation in life take control of you. You need to live life to the fullest no matter what. You might not have a tomorrow forever.

    3. Based upon my understanding the quote means that she didn't let her state of body get control over her. She is still liing life to the fullest. And, you should, too.

    4. This matters, because there are many people who are sick. They are controlled by their situation. They think they are weak with the position they're in, but they really aren't. People should enjoy what rest of their life they have. Even if they think it's not much.

    I can apply the concepts from the quote and video to make my life better by not letting one moment of life slip away from me. I should enjoy all of my life. It's not important what people think, because it's my life. I can enjoy it however I want. And, not let it waste.

  10. 1. WATCH THE VIDEO

    2. What I think this video means is basically enjoy the little things in life. Also to respect what you have and live through it.

    3. Based upon my understanding, what this quote means is when you are in the worst position or moments in your life, don't think you have nothing else to live for. Everyday day of your life should be special. This is what I think the quote means in my opinion.

    4. This quote matters to me because till this day people commit suicide. They also go anorexic because they think there's nothing else to live for in life. This is a serious issue for our society because people need to understand that there not the only ones suffering through the pain as well. WE need to appreciate the little things in life no matter if your day was bad there shouldn't be no reason on why you should just kill your self or go anorexic. Two main reasons why is because you have so much more to live for and there's people in this world who care about you.

    1) Notes
    2) The quote is saying live life to the fullest because you never know when you're gonna die. The video is saying to not live a simple life because any day could be your last. It's saying don't live a boring life be extraordinary and exotic.
    3) Based on my understanding the quote is telling us that we never know when we can get sick or die. The video is also telling us to be amazing and be different because we never know when we're going to die. They are both saying we will die one day so live life to the fullest.
    4) This matters because when we are feeling down and boring we have to remember we will die eventually. Because of this they want us to live life to the fullest and be extraordinary. Knowing that we are going to die eventually is scary but it also lets us know that we have to appreciate life and enjoy it. This is why it matters.
    I can apply this to my life by not being as boring. For example I can start going camping or travelling the world. I can also leave my phone and socialize with people. It's opening my eyes for I can start having fun in life.It's telling me to live life to the fullest.

    2. They both say don't wait until something happens to live your life to the fullest. You never know when you're gonna die so think of everyday as your last. Don't take your life for granted.

    3. The quote means don't wait until your about to die to do something really crazy in your life. It means do what you always wanted to do and don't wait to do it. Don't wait for later because you never know if there is gonna be another chance.

    4. This matters because a lot of people procrastinate on doing things which is very bad. If you want to do something then get it done. Don't let anything stop you and don't waste any opportunities because there might not be another one. They can't take their life for granted because they won't be alive forever. Nobody has unlimited opportunities.

    I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by not taking life for granted. To do what I can and try to live my life to the fullest before it's too late. I have to not waste any opportunity I have. I will try to not waste any time and think everyday is my last. I have to appreciate life more and enjoy it more.

    2. You should enjoy your life everyday because you never know if you are going to be alive the next day. Don't let the obstacles stop you from what you want to do. Everyday is special, so life your life to your potential.

    3. Based upon my understanding, the quote means that you shouldn't wait for something tragic to happen to start living your life to the fullest. Don' t waste your time and do the things you love. Everyone in this world has a purpose, so find it and do what you have to do.

    4. This matters because it can help people change their life. This can motivate people to stop wasting time and do the stuff they love. They can live their life to the fullest and do things they never imagined. They never know if they are going to be alive the next day. Everyone has a purpose in this life.

    I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better in many ways. This will teach me to not be boring and be a happy person. I will live my life to the fullest and do everything I want. I will take all the opportunities I have and do what I have to do. I will free myself by deciding consciously and forget about my past.

    Live life to the fullest. Everyday is special, live life like if you only had one day left. Do your best everyday so you won’t have to live with regret.

    The quote means to stop saving things for special occasions. You don’t need a life threatening disease to live life to the fullest. Because everyday is special. Don’t waste time, no need for the bad things in your life. No need to watch and do things in your life that you don’t want to because it it just wasting your time.

    This matters because people don’t decide for themselves for what they want to do in their life. People don’t know that they have a purpose on earth. This is why people give up and live the rest of their life miserable. Your purpose in life is to find your purpose. Once you find your purpose, you must change. Limits exist only in the mind. It doesn’t matter how long you live, it matters how you live.
    You can apply these concepts to your life by discovering your purpose.Know that you are here for a purpose. Once you figure it out. Then you can live the rest of your life happy because your purpose is what you love to do. Live your life to the fullest by doing the things you enjoy everyday. Don’t let people bring you down because you don’t have time for them. Don’t let the fact that you can die any day, any time. Just live by this quote, “ When I die, that's fine, as long as I live life not wanting to rewind.”

    3.Based upon my understanding the quote means,don't wait until something bad happens.You can life life to the fullest.Don't waste time doing other things that are not important.

    1.The video and quote are trying to say live your life to the fullest. You never know when you're last day on earth is. You have to live today like its your last day. Stop wasting time worrying
    2. the quote means tomorrow isnt promised. Treat everyday like its your last. Stop worrying about irrelevant things and live life.
    3.This matters, because there are many people do waist their limited time one earth. They are contently wasting their lives worrying. They dont truly believe that life is limited. People should enjoy what rest of their life they have. THey should live it to the fullest.

    I can apply this to make my life better by not letting one moment of life slip away from me. I should live my life to the fullest extent. It's not important what people think, because it's my life. I can enjoy it however I want. Im not going to waste the time i have left.

    2.In my own words this means that you have to decide what to do because you don't have enough time in your life. You have to decide because you might not have a lot of tomorrows left.Decide what to do with your life now. You cannot be waiting a lot of time to decide.
    3.Upon my understandings the quote means that you don't have to waist time. Don't wait until something bad happens in your life to start living your life at the maximum. You have to start living your life at the maximum right now don't waist your time because it won't last long.
    4.This matters because is telling you to don't waist your time. You do't have a lot of time left. you should live your life at the maximum everyday. You should look for things to do everyday don't stay with out doing nothing.

    I can apply this to my life by the way that I wont waist my time on doing dumb things. I will start living my life at the maximum. I will start doing things that I can do every day. I wont waist my time thinking on things the doesn't matter. I will start doting the things the I want to do.

    2.The quote is saying that people start to notice how much life they have when they have an illness. If your days aren't counted you won't count them yourself and you only have a certain amount time in this world.

    3. Based on my understanding the quote means do stuff at the max. IF you live as if every day will be your last then you will be successful. If you don't have cancer, work to avoid it and spend you life doing things you actually love.

    4.This matters because people should live to the max. People who underappreciate life should definitely learn how to live it.The fact that people are dying while we go through our 1st world problems is pitiful.There is more to life than just living it and it is worth living for. Remember that there will not be so many tomorrows so do stuff now.

    I can apply this to my life by getting up earlier and living up to more than expectations. There is something to life that I can certainly appreciate and try to waste less of and its time. The more I grow up, the less time there seems to be, it isn't the loss of innocence that matures people, its the lack of time and tension that needs the innocence that ends people's childhoods.The only thing that would help me do more would be the more stress of life and my days being numbered to help me. Sure I can take a die=sease in a negatibe manner but its the days being counted that cause people to start to step up.

  19. 1.) DONE


    2.) The quote and video are saying that you need to do what you want to do in life now. Do it now because you might not get a chance to do it and you're wasting your time of you don't. Your time is your key.


    3.) Based upon my understandings, the post means that you need to live life to the fullest right now, literally right now. You can not waste any time, if there's something you want to do go for it and make your dreams come true. Don't live a boring life but live a crazy, well ran life that you're satisfied with.


    4.) This matters because it opens your eyes. It shows that the boring life you've been living isn't the one you're supposed to be living. You need to stop wasting time and start doing what you want to do. Go on crazy adventures, get a degree, run a business, do whatever you want that has you satisfied. Just stop wasting time.

    Go do it now, and make the rest of your life the best of your life. I can apply this to my life by going out more, doing what I want. As long as i'm having a blast i'm living life correctly. I need to live life to the fullest. I was born with a purpose, to have an absolute blast with life as long as i'm still breathing.

    2. This quote is saying that cancer taught Regina to save things for special occasions and that everyday is special. You don't need cancer to make your life the best of it. What ever you want to do in life, do it because you are dying and everybody else is.

    3. What I think this quote means to me is that live life the best of your life. Don't save the special things for special occasions. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy the little things in life.

    4. This matters because some day I'm going to die. Someday I'm going to die and I'm probably not do everything that I really want to do. Always enjoy the little things in life. No one does everything they want to do in their lives, but that doesn't mean your can'y do mostly everything you want to do. I think this matters because I want to do as much as I can while I am still alive.

    I can apply this to my own life by trying the best I can to be successful. It's hard to be successful, but it isn't impossible. I believe that before I die, I will be the most successful person I can be. I won't stop trying to be the best person I can be until I die. I am going to have a lot of walls to climb over later in my life, but it won't stop me from trying to be the best I can be.

    |2| In my own words, I believe the proper summarization for this quote and video would be the fact that time is not on your side. You don't know when it's your time to pass away. It's all random and up to your body to decide the time it is for you to go.

    |3| Based upon my understanding, I believe that this quote means the fact that you should never waste your time doing something that's not important to you. Or doing something that's against your liking. Because at the end of the day, again, you never know when it's your time to pass away.

    |4| This matters to me ultimately because practically I'm still a kid. Therefore, I should put my best foot forward, and put in all the effort I can to simply do everything I wish. Because I would never know, when it's my time to leave this earth. Everything would be extremely unexpected due to several health issues associated with every single human being in the world.
    I think I can add these concepts to my live by doing more things as I please. Doing more activities that are actually fun and exciting. Because I would never know when it's my time to die. Point blank. It's quite complex how the human body works. But it's life, and we have to deal with it accordingly.
