Answer 3

There is a country song that I know of that defines this quote best.  Here are the words:

Live Like You Were Dying

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me

And one moment came that stopped me on a dime

I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays

Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.

I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end

How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?

Man what did ya do?

He said

Chorus

I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

And he said some day I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't

And I became a friend, a friend would like to have

And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition

And I went three times that year I lost my dad

Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look

At what I'd do if I could do it all again

And then

Chorus

I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

And he said some day I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

Like tomorrow was the end

And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it

What should you do with it

What can I do with it

What would I do with it

Skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And man I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'

And he said some day I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin'

Answer 5

Dream big, Enjoy life as if it were the last day.

Answer 6

Have plans for the future, but remember to take full advantage of today!

Answer 7

Simple. Live everyday to it's fullest. Don't just look forward to today, but look forward to tomorrow and everyday after that. Make use of your time and never take anything for granted.

Answer 8

AAWWWWW I LOVE JAMES DEAN!!!!  

Dream as if you'll live forever means that you need to dream of the future and know that what you dream of today might happen if you take the right steps.

Live as if you'll die today means that if you don't do it today well tomorrow might not come.

To me it means live life to the full at all times.  If you want to sleep in because you like sleeping...WELL SLEEP!  If you like to go to uni coz you want a degree...WELL GO!  Just do what makes you happy with life and do it to your best potential.

Answer 9
