What is most important in your life? Numerous people have been asking this question throughout their life. I thought for a long time about this question. It’s not all about material wealth or power and reputation. Rather, it’s all about what you want to be in your life. For me, living a life to the fullest with no regret is what I want.
Life is a very fragile thing to me. I’ll try to make each day to be the best day I can. I do not want to waste my life on people or situations that will make me feel miserable or depressed. Other than that, learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy with your life, don’t wait for something outside of your life to make you happy. Just like living for the current moment, be as happy as you can and when you can. Do the decision that will make life feel happy, we may not able to choose what we can achieve in our career or what will happen in our life because too much of uncertainty, but being a happy and optimistic spirit is something we can choose.
There is one memorable experience I ever had in my life, which bring me the thought that life is short and we should live our life to the utmost fullest and after all become a wonderful and beautiful memory in life. During I was 19 years old, around 8.00, my friend was driving me and my other friends to another district for a futsal game. I was in the backseat, just right behind the driver’s seat. My friends and I were joking around and laughing in the backseat when all of a sudden the world was covered with bright white light and a great impact came on us, causing the car to lose control and slipped a few circles to the opposite lane. We had been hit by another car from the opposite lane. During that moment of just a few seconds, I got a short memory flashback in my brain, and surprisingly, I have a clear mind that thinking a lot of questions and things. I immediately thought to myself, ‘Why did this happen to me?’, ‘Am I gonna end my life here?’, ‘I am still young’, etc. After a few moments, we are rescued by the citizen nearby who brings us to the roadside. When we get out of the car, I only realize the injuries on our bodies. As for me, I was injured on my face, nose, ear, hand, lung, ankle, and knee. It wasn’t painful though at that moment, it was just numb and unable to move. We asked someone to contact our family and then we are being sent to the nearest hospital. Once we arrived at the hospital, we were each assigned a room and the medic did some simple emergency wound treatment. Then I had been sent to detail checking such as X-ray and CT scan. After all this, I had been transferred to a private hospital to perform a more detailed whole-body check. Finally, it took me a few months to become fully recovered.

This is when I realized that death, can sweep you away in an instant, that is why we should not hesitate to live every moment of our life in the best way we can because living is once. In my mind, I could never fancy how a few seconds of life could change my view of my whole existence. You can only live in this moment, that’s why you need to make this moment count. Sometimes we are stuck in bitter feelings about the past or worry about what might happen in the future. We are either holding regrets or worrying. However, what happened has passed and what is going to happen depends on what you do right now, so make every moment of yours count and be full.
There is another concept that I have grown to truly believe in is ‘YOLO’ (You Only Live Once). This concept has gotten me to where I am today and I had no regrets along the way. ‘YOLO’ is a term used by the youngsters of today, it carries meanings and implications of doing the things you want now because there might not be a tomorrow. I try to live by this concept as much as possible and take advantage of this short life by being spontaneous and willing to try new things. Holidays and vacations are almost always good times for experiencing new things, so I always take as many vacations as possible with my friends. For example, last year I joined a dual award program and study in the UK for one semester. One day, my friend and I decide to take a day trip to England, we didn’t plan anything, even the destination. We randomly bought a ticket at the train station and start our journey, whatever happened from there on we didn’t have a clue. This trip turned out to be one of the best times of my life, and the best part was we didn’t know what was going to happen on that day, we end up reaching a lovely and beautiful small town called Derby.
In my point of view, I think everyone should live on the edge and take a few risks in life. Some people need to realize you don’t get a second chance at everything, so if you get a chance to do something, just do it or you may regret it for the rest of your life. You may regret bad times in the past, but those bad times are gone, and what you do next is up to you. There are too many obstacles in life to dodge, and no one is perfect, so take advantage of this life that we are blessed with before it’s too late.
