The last lecture

Recently there's a friend of mine reminded me about future. He asked me what future I want? I've been thinking hard about it lately. What future I want? What will I be after 5 years? Will I still be the same as now. Out of sudden, I just feel that I'm just wasting my time. What I've been doing lately? Shopping, Drinking, Hanging around with friends...No planning for future.

He seems like my wake up call. He encourage me to live a better life. He said life is short. Why we want to waste our time with unnecessary things. What he said is true. I shouldn't waste my time anymore. I should plan for my future.
He recommended me to read the book "The last lecture". This is the book on a professor who is dying and he gave his last lecture before he dies. It is really meaningful. When I was reading this book, my tears drop. I felt touch. Instead spending his last 3 months with his family, he spent his time on the lecture. He lectured about Joy of Life, how he appreciate his life even with so little of his own left. He talked about honesty, integrity, gratitude and etc.
Well, I haven't finish reading the book yet, but out of sudden I feel my life is really precious. What if a doctor told me that I've only 3 months of living. What will I do? How do I feel? Think about it and will let you know when I've got the answer.
