future plans and present priorities

05 Mar 2007 1:13

Learn Forever, Die Tomorrow

Early on I came to believe that you should learn as if you were going to live forever, and live as if you were going to die tomorrow. What does this mean? In the simplest way, I would explain it like this.

Always be learning, acquiring knowledge and seeking wisdom with a sense that you are immortal and that you will need knowledge and wisdom for that long journey ahead. Know that when you are through learning, you are through.

But I want to love that life as though I were going to die tomorrow: with relish, immediacy, and the right priorities. I also will not waste even a minute.

From John Wooden's “A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections on and off the Court."

I choose to live. I’m not just wishing my life were better, I’m studying hard to make a better life possible. There is so much beautiful life waiting to be lived, so much time has gone by already, lost moments that none of us can never recover. For those living life in the shadows, in barely present endurance of life, or in fear of embracing everything life has to offer, for those angrily grasping at broken shreds afraid to let go enough to find the true beauty within them and the new opportunities for life ahead of them, I say live. Live, and let live. There is so much out there, and so little time any of us have. We don’t have time for anger, bitterness and hate. Even as we hold others back, we hold ourselves back worse. And for what end? The time we use up is just as lost to us as it is to those we take it from. It’s just gone. Live. Love.

    This is so true. I always say everyday is a journey and education. You learn new things everyday but life in its self is an education.
