6. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything-all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中面臨重大決定時，所用過最重要的方法。因為幾乎每件事－所有外界期望、所有的名聲、所有對困窘或失敗的恐懼－在面對死亡時，都消失了，只有最真實重要的東西才會留下。
7. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.
沒有人想死。即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活着上天堂。
8. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
你們的時間有限，所以不要浪費時間活在別人的生活裡。
9. Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent.
死亡很可能就是生命中最偉大的發明，是生命出現改變的催化劑。
10. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
記得自己將死，是我所知最能避免畏懼失去的最佳方法。因為你已經赤裸裸地面對着生命，所以沒有理由不順從內心的聲音。（來源：都市日報）
