What are you going to do with your life?" In one way or another it seemed that people had been asking her this forever; teachers, her parents, friends at three in the morning, but the question had never seemed this pressing and still she was no nearer an answer.. "Live each day as if it's your last', that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance. .David Nicholls
About This Quote
It is not practical to live each day as if it was your last. All the things you do in life will never make a difference. What will make a difference is how you live every day. Cherish your friends and live passionately, be true to your principles and live fully and well.
Experience new things and love and be loved. If you ever get the chance. It is very difficult to be good, courageous, bold, passionate and full of life.
You may not make big changes in the world but you can make a difference in the people around you.
