Mitch AlbomDo I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?.. He would not wither. He would not be ashamed of dying.
About This Quote
When you’re running out of time, it’s easy to think that everything is over. You don’t want to do anything that might make your death look like the end of the world. But when you live in the moment and don’t allow yourself to be overcome by fear, you can see your life as something positive instead of something negative. As William Butler Yeats said, “Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?”
