"Cancer taught me to stop saving things for a special occasion. Every day is special. You don't have to get cancer to start living life to the fullest. My post-cancer philosophy? No wasted time. No ugly clothes. No boring movies." - Regina Brett



  1. Watch video and take notes: YOUR TIME LEFT
  2. In your own words, summarize the quote and video. [2-3 sentences]
  3. Based upon your understanding, what does the quote mean? [2-3 sentences]
  4. Why does this matter and how can you apply the concepts from the quote and video to make your life better? [2 Paragraphs]

26 comments:

  1. 2. Everyday is a blessing to live life to the fullest. We need to realize that we`re here for a purpose. Something for us to do and hold ourselves to a higher purpose.

    3. Based upon my understanding, this quote means that we do not wait for a life threatening illness to make us appreciate life. Life should not be wasted and instead be enjoying every minute of it.

    4. This matters because many people are not noticing that life can be short and they are wasting it. We should know that every minute of every day, whatever we want to do, we have to do it now. What matters is how are you going to live while you are here. We get one opportunity in life to do what ever we are going to do. Somebody should tell us from he start that we are dying and live life to the limit.

    I can apply this concepts from the quote and video to my life to make it better by deciding consciously what I want my life to be now. I need to change from should to a must. I need to make a decision that I`m not going to be this person anymore. I am going to be in a new path with the decision I made today. I need to start discovering the purpose of why I am here and start doing something in life rather than just wasting it.

  2. 2. Both the video and the quote basically discussed for you to not waste your chances and opportunities in life. Everyday is an opportunity. You shouldn't waste it.
    3. based upon my own understanding this quote means to me that you shouldn't let anything stop you from fulfilling your life's promptings. You should live your life to the fullest everyday, no matter if it is a special day or not. We don't no how many opportunities or chances we will have in life, so we need to make everyday count. That is what it means to me.
    4. This matters because it is a life lesson. It is something we need to pay attention in life too. Another reason this matters is because it shows us that we shouldn't waste any opportunities. We should live every second in life to the fullest. It clarify's one of the major things in life that many people in this world tend to do.
    I can apply this to my life by living every second of my life to the fullest. I don't have to wait for anything special, because each day is an opportunity. I should live like i'm famous. Another reason how I can apply this to my life is by not procrastinating. This stops me from living my life to the fullest. That is how I can apply this to my life.

  3. 2. The quote was a bout a person's personal experience with holding things off. But cancer made them realize that they should not hold things off and to live in the moment. The video was about you should do what you want because you don't know how many more tomorrows there are.
    3. The quote means you should not let anything hold you back. And that even when it comes to the little things you should not let the thought that you can do it later stop you. Because something like cancer can come up and you might not have the opportunity to do it.
    4. The video and quote's message are very important. This is because many people hold back or put things off for later. All while thinking that they can do it tomorrow or that later they will have the chance to do it. But they should not have this mindset because you can die or get sick tomorrow. There are a limited amount a tomorrows and you don't know your limit. And some people might get sick then get better. that can be interpreted as a second chance. But not everyone gets a second chance at life.
    I can apply this to my life by not letting the idea of tomorrow control my life. I won't let the thought of tomorrow as an excuse not to live in the moment. Also I learned that there is a plan for everyone including me, so I won't let a missed opportunity get to me. I may have lost an opportunity but its my job while living to make up for it.

  4. 2. This quote is saying that you should live your life to the fullest. Also, that you shouldn't waste any of the time that you have now.
    3. Based on my understanding,this means that every day is special.Also, that you shouldn't waste time now because you never know when your time will run out. And, this means that you should always appreciate your life.
    4. In my opinion this could matter for many reasons. One of which is because it could open people's eyes to the fact that they can't live forever so they shouldn't waste the little bit of time they have now.Another reason this matters is because it can stop people from wasting the time they have left. And,it could let people now that you could die at any time so you should appreciate your life. In conclusion, i believe this matters for many reasons.
    I can apply this to my life in many ways. Firstly, i could stop wasting my time. Also, i could start appreciating my life. And, i could stop and remember that i can't live forever, i have to die eventually. In conclusion, i could apply this to my life in many ways. Such as by appreciating life or by not wasting time.

  5. 2. This quote is saying how to not waste your time and whatever you want to do, do it now. The video was about how you're here for a purpose and not to waste your time by doing nothing.
    3. Based on my understanding, this quote means that to not waste your time on things that don't matter. This quote is also saying how you don't have to be dying to live life to the fullest, you should always live like that and do what you want to do.
    4. This matters because the quote is saying how you should always live like theirs no tomorrow. It doesn't matter how long you live, what matters is how you live. It also maters because it's telling you that you shouldn't live life with any worries do what you want to do and make your own choices. Also it matters because you shouldn't be living life all scared. You should live like how you want to. You have to create your own path.
    I can apply the concepts from the quote and video to make my life better by knowing that we only got one opportunity in life and to not mess up. And maybe you'll change along the way but change is okay because we have to challenge ourselves with what's right and what's wrong. I can also apply this to my life by freeing yourself, and to take chances at life because we never know when we might die. Everyone has only one chance at life so we should live it to the fullest, and not care what anyone else thinks. And that we are here for a purpose.

  6. 2) Both the video and quote is telling us that life is limited and that we should live life to the fullest because you never know if you will ever have another chance to do something you never did. There are only so many tommorows. It's time to free yourself and live life to the max.

    3) Based upon my understanding, the quote says that we have limited time to live life. Many times people tend to wait till there time is almost done and then try to do things they never did. In other words, whatever you want to do, do it now.

    4) This matters because I can learn to live life to the max and live with no regrets. Many people tend sit around and wait for something bad to happen, and then begin to live life to the fullest. However, by then it might be to late to do anything. Whatever we want to, we should do now. Therefore, from here going forward, I will do whatever I feel like doing and have no regrets.

    It doesn't matter how long we live, it about how we live it. Someone should have told us at the start of our life that were are dying so that we could look at life differently and live life to the fullest. Everyone is here for a reason, but we must discover the purpose of our plans.Our life is dynamic, and its constantly changing. Sometimes we only get one opportunity in life to do something. In conclusion, we must make a decision, and act upon it.

  7. 2. Live your life to the fullest. If you want something to happen, go after it. Do it. Achieve everything you want to achieve now. Don't waste time and do it now.
    3. Based on my understanding I believe this means that nothing should get in your way from doing something. If you really want something, you need to go after it. Life is too short and is not promised to you so you can be wasting time. If you want to do something, do it now before it's too late.
    4.I believe this matters in the way that many think that they have time for everything in the world. When in reality they don't. People need to get the message that life is too short to be wasting time. You have to be willing to put your all into something you really want and make sure you actually go after it. The way people go around saying that they will do this and that later is not the right way to a happy life. Stop wasting time and do it now.
    This can be applied to my life now in the way that I need to learn how to stop wasting time. I tend to always say I'm going to do things later and end up never doing them. I think if I stop wasting time and actually do what I want to do, I will not only be happy but be proud of myself. And to me I believe that, that will truly help me in a lot of ways. I will just need to learn how to actually live my life to the fullest.

  8. 2) The quote and the video both say that people shouldn't was time. Cause there's not a lot of time left. People need to do what they have to do.
    3) The quote means that people should do what they want to do from the beginning. They shouldn't start doing what they want to do when they are almost going to die. Everyday is a new day and its special. People shouldn't care what others have to say. They need to do what they want to do and because they like doing it.
    4) This matters because many people live there lives doing what they don't like to do. When they should do what they like to do and want to do. They should not care what other people think or say. People should not live life making other people happy but them selves happy. If people do what they want to do it will make them happy and they will be satisfy.
    This applies to my life because it has made me think. It has made me think if i'm doing what I want to do, or if i'm doing what other people want me to do. Now I know that i need to do what I like to do and want to do. That I should not care what other people say and think. As long as i'm happy other peoples opinion shouldn't matter.

  9. 2.In my own words the quote and the video are summarized that if you want something to start now.To make it happen.
    3.Based upon my understanding the quote mean that you don't have to get a sickness to start doing what you want to do in life.Because every day is a special day.
    4.This matter because in the quote is saying that you don't need wait Intel something bad happens to you. Why not start doing it now.Start doing what you want to do.Make want you want to do happen.Because every day is a special day.
    I can apply the concepts from the quote and video to make my life better by making a good decision on how i want my life to be.Making everyday a good day.And a special day.Doing good decisions every day.Giving myself a purpose of why i want to do it.

  12. 2. The quote and video are about living life the way you want to. You don't have to wait for a special day, just do what you want because time is limited.

    3. Based upon my understanding, the quote means you don't need something bad to happen to you, for you to start living life to the fullest. Don't wait for the right time to do what you want. Make everyday special and live your life the way you want. Don't waste your time waiting because something can happen to you that will prevent you from doing your own thing. You'll regret waiting all that time when you could've done it any day.

    4. The video and quote matter because they are trying to motivate you to live life to the fullest. Free yourself from the past and start a new life. Make a decision on how you want your life to be. Make a purpose for yourself, it doesn't have to be something grand. Just something you can do everyday. Instead of spending your time worrying, do the things you love. Challenge yourself to live at a higher standard.

    I can apply some concepts of my life by deciding how I want my life to be. I shouldn't wait for something to happen, for me to realize I need to start living my life better. I need to stop wasting my time worrying about things that don't truly matter. Instead, I should use my time to do things I enjoy. I should create a new path for myself that will lead me to a better life. Lastly, I need to realize I don't have an unlimited amount of time to do things my way.

  13. 2. To stop living life thinking you have lots of days ahead of you because once you loose those many days there is when you wanna make a difference.Nobody should do that they should life life to the max and make every day count and to stop wasting days and time.

    3. This quote means that once you loose the opportunity of having more then one day that is when most wanna make a difference and fix what they did wrong i believe that people should do this daily and every single day because you'll never know when life will be taken from you.life isn't infinite you live to die so make every day count and stop wasting time and days doing nothing.

    4. This matters because i think not all people take life serious and think they have lots of days ahead and can make up their days another time.that's mostly when their life is almost over so i believe its best for people to make every single day count.If every one lived life to their max and fullest potential then i believe that everyone would be successful.life is given to you and its your responsibility to make the best of it.
    If i applied this to my life then it would make it better because i also just spend days just on my bed hearing music drawing and at time if im in the mood id do my home work.it make my life better because it make me more responsible and more caring and more greedy about my days wanting to make each day count.life is important also the days you are given to live take those days and make them worth doing all you work make them worth sacrificing anything just do anything to make each day count.

  15. 2. This video and the quote is showing that no matter what you do you must be able to achieve it and no what you are aiming for. You have to be ahead of what you are willing to do. The quote is showing us that no matter what you are going through you must live your life to the fullest and enjoy what you have.

    3. Based upon my understanding i believe that you must live your life and not let anything stop you or because of that specific reason you live it that way. Life is about having fun and enjoying the opportunity you have but at the end of the day it all depends on you whether you use it wisely or maintain the same level.

    4. I can use this in my life by not letting nothing bring me down or let something stop me from achieving my goal.Having the opportunity to be alive and healthy is the best i can ask for, now it all depends on me to keep my path and walk my way toward my goal. I need to change my mindset into thinking that one day i will be gone and keep in mind that if i don't reach my goal i will leave with that feeling that i didn't reach success.

    Another way i can apply this to my lie is by maintaining myself motivated into doing what is best for me. i will overcome my fears to reach my goal and be able to divorce the past from the future. I will enjoy the one and only chance i have and remember that no matter what i need to keep going. I will also free myself and let myself grow taller.

  16. 2. You don't have a lot of tomorrows. You have to decide what you want to do with your life.You are here for a purpose. Every day is special

    3. The quote means that every day is special for you. You don't have to have cancer to life your life to the fullest. Don't waste your time you have.

    4. It matters in many ways. The first way it matters is because you have to live your life to the fullest. The second way it matters is that you have to decide what you want to do with your life. The third way it matters is because you don't have to be dying to live your life to the fullest. These are the ways it matters to me.

  17. 2) The video and the quote mean that you shouldn't wait for something in order for you to live life to the fullest. Stop waiting and just do it, go from I should, to a I must.

    3) Based upon my understandings the quote means that you shouldn't wait for something special to happen because that something special won't last for long so make everyday special, not just when something happens. This also means that you need to stop wasting time, live life to the fullest everyday.

    4) I can apply the video to my life to make it better because I need to stop waiting for something to happen in order for me to make actions. I need to start doing things now and not later. I need to free myself from anything that's holding me back and just do me because at the end of the day, all that matters is how i live my life when i'm here. One thing I've learned is to live life like nobody is watching.
    I can apply the quote to my life to make it better because I have to start deciding what my life is going to be like and stop wasting precious time. I need to start going from a should to a must. I must decide and not waste time. The only thing I should be worried about is Deciding is important because what you decide is where you will be going. The quote will help me in life because I know that I can't wait for time to pass me by. I just have to live life to the fullest.

  18. 2. Both the video and the quote basically discussed for you to not waste your chances and opportunities in life. Everyday is an opportunity. You shouldn't waste it.
    3. The quote means you should not let anything hold you back. And that even when it comes to the little things you should not let the thought that you can do it later stop you. Because something like cancer can come up and you might not have the opportunity to do it.

  19. 2. The difference between Being Good and Great is one makes you feel more powerful. The word Great in my opinion makes me feel powerful. The word good makes me feel that i'm on the right pathway to being powerful. I have never considered this as a question but now that it has been asked it makes me think if it feels better to be Good or Great.

    3. My High School experience will be defined on how good i do. I don't want to be the best because when it comes to seeing other people below me i don't want them to stay below me i want to help them to be at the same height as me. My heart is yearning for GREATNESS in this world. Many people don't know what greatness feels like but i want to be one of those people who do know how it feels. I want to be know for what i do not for who i am . Show people your are better than what they think or see. Many people think your a certain person from the way you look , but little do they know you're way different. Be someones role model . Show them that they're way better.

    4. This matters because there's only a minimum of days where you can get things that need to be done , done. Think about it how much time have you spent worrying about things that don't matter and started focusing on the things that do matter. Make a decision to what you want to do. Our life consistently changes throughout time. Gain some motivation form others and decide. Take my word for it and do whats most important in your life now. Strive for Greatness.

  20. 1.What the video and quote talk about is wasting time doing things that you don't what to do but you have. To not let opportunities be wasted.

    3.What the quote means s to not let anything pass you by. Don't let anyone choose your life for you because they will make you complete there own dreams. Don't live your life knowing you're not doing anything you would like to do, live your life knowing that your doing something that you like. That's what the quote means to me.

    4. The video and quote matter because we always wait until the last minute to actually choose what you want to do. We wait to complete our dreams when we don't have that much time left in this world. All that pressure that we get when our time is about to run out kills us because that's when we finally figure out we haven't done nothing with our lives. We start questioning our selves and others. What do we really want?

    A way i can apply this video and quote to my life is by using every minute and opportunity you have. In everyone's life they live with regrets and miss any opportunities they get , nobody should live with like that. they live with no regrets because that slows us down from success. If we settle for something that is just handed to us even doe we can still afford to get something a lot more helpful, we eventually see the affects of settling for something basic. We need to live our lives with less regret and more doing what helps us the most while doing what we like to do , everyone's clock is going run out one day that's why we need to live life .

    3. Don't wait for the right time to do what you want. gist do you need to do in your life no more wait you got to do it. You'll regret waiting all that time when you could've done it any day.

    4.We should know that every minute of every day, whatever we want to do, we have to do it now.Another reason this matters is because it shows us that we shouldn't waste any opportunities. We should live every second in life to the fullest. It clarify's one of the major things in life that many people in this world tend to do. Don't give up yet it is you frut.

  22. 2) Do whatever you want because yo don't know when your going to die. Live your life to the fullest and don't let things bring you down.
    3) The quote is saying that don't let thing tell you when to start living life make sure you are living life when ever. Do everything and make sure you enjoy it. Don't wait on thing because you never know if you won't get to them.
    4) This matters because you have to live you lifer and make sure it's the best. Make every day the best day. We will never know when our time is up. Do whatever you want to do just do it right. Whatever you do do it because you want to.
    This can make my life better because i should just live my life don't let nothing stop me . I should just go for it and make everyday a good day. Don't let things ruin my day because i will never know if its going to be my last day. Look nice everyday to not waste time nor my family time. Enjoy the time i'm with family and friends.

  24. 2.The quote and the video are telling you to live every second of your life like if it were to be your last. They both say that you should not wait until you know your going to die to live your life to the fullest. They say that you should live everyday like it were your last.

    3.Based upon my understanding this quote means that you need to live every day like it was your last because you never know what can happen. That you should not have to be told that you are going to die to start living your life to the fullest. It says that you should live your whole life to the fullest because you never know what can happen.

    4.This matters because in life you never know what can happen to you or someone else that you care about. Anything can happen and sometimes they are not good things. That is why the video and the quote tell you that you need to live your life to the fullest because anything can happen at any time. so that is why they say that you should not have to be told that something is going to happen to start living your life. That is why they say to live your life to the fullest no matter what.

    I can apply this to my life because at any time something can happen and you wont know. You might be told that you are going to die or that you might die and that is when you will start living your life. For example, in the 7th grade I was in class and my stomach was starting to hurt and I thought it was just a stomach ache. Then later that same day my mom and dad came from work and I was in so much pain so they took me to the hospital. They told me that my appendix was going burst and that I had to get it taken out fast because it could explode and I could have died. When they told me that I was scared and realized that I had not been living my life to the fullest. Then after they removed it I was okay and now I live everyday of my life like it were my last because you never know what could happen.

  26. 1) To summarize this quote is it talks about to cherish every moment of your life. Also this quote summarizes the fact that life will go by fast so live up to it. To summarize the video is it talks about how to just go for your dreams and live life to the fullest.
    2) This quote means to live life right because you only get one. Also this quote means don't be scared to take that risk to be happy because maybe there won't be a tomorrow for you. Also to have something to hold onto in life because not a lot of people get that spare chance.
    3) This matters because we all need to live life like if it were to be our last day. This matters to me because we all want to do that one thing but our everyday life holds us back from doing it. That one thing on our list of doing before we die can happen right here right now we just have to want to do badly. This quote and video matter because many of peoples last words were " I regret nothing" because they did what they wanted to do before. Lastly, this matters because we only live once so as for that we must cherish it.
    I can apply this to my life by being able to come up with a way for me to do stuff I want to do like bungee jump and sky dive. Also I can start off easy like learning how to drive and get a job. I can treat life like its my last. Also see life through others eyes because they might not get a tomorrow. I can take my opportunities and roll with them.
