I recently read about such an interesting study that simply shocked me!

A survey was conducted at a hospice (a place where terminally ill people in the last stages of their illness are cared for) asking what people regret most before they die.

And 87% responded that their biggest regret was living a meaningless and empty life! Think about these wild numbers!!! 9 out of 10 people, instead of doing what they really like and going towards their dreams, essentially just threw their lives into the trash! The survey is very revealing: after all, young and healthy person It always seems that there is a lot of time ahead to fix and change everything. But life flies by very quickly, and by the end we get such a sad result.

What exactly did the dying people regret?

They regretted that during all the allotted time they did not have the courage to live the life that was right for them, and not the life that others expected from them. Most people have barely attempted half of what they dreamed of. They died knowing that all this happened as a result of their choices, which they made or did not make. If you do not take responsibility for your life, do not go towards your goals, then there will always be someone else for whose goals you will live.

They were sorry that they worked so hard, doing something they didn’t like, and life passed them by. Think about the activity you are currently engaged in, whether you are ready to devote your whole life to it. Do you consider it your favorite thing, purpose, mission? Would you do this activity as a hobby? People think they need a lot of money and spend all their time earning it. They do not think that before death, which is inevitable, they will not be able to take all this condition with them. In fact, all the money you make at this point will have no value. Much more important are the memories and emotions that you receive during your life, so that when you die, you say: “I lived a bright and rich life“I’ve seen a lot in my life and I’m not ashamed to retire.” Leave time for hobbies, family and friends and your life will become happier.

Many regretted that they did not have the courage to express their feelings, then perhaps their lives would have turned out completely differently. They regretted that they didn't stay in touch with their friends, that their friendship wasn't given as much effort and time as it deserved, everyone misses their friends when they die. Sometimes pride outweighs everything in the world, which is why in old age or before death you are left completely alone, no one needs you. Imagine your funeral for a second. How many people came to them? What words would people say about you? Would it be true?

Perhaps you are already regretting that there is one girl you like, but you still don’t dare talk to her. Or you want to return this girl, having foolishly parted with her once, but later you realized how dear she really is to you. Maybe every day, when you are in crowded places, you see beautiful girls, but you still don’t dare to come up and get acquainted, putting off your personal life for later. Don't be surprised if you end up living a life you didn't choose.

In general, people on the verge of death regretted that they did not allow themselves to be happy. This was a surprisingly common regret. Many have not fully understood that their happiness is a matter of their choice. Be happy today, you have one life, live it right, so that you don’t regret anything at the end.

Ostrovsky Nikolai Alekseevich (September 16 (29), 1904 - December 22, 1936) - Soviet writer. Born in the village of Viliya, Ostrog district, Volyn province, into a working-class family. From the age of 11 he was forced to work. At the same time, he studied at a higher elementary school. In the years Civil War fought on the side of the revolutionaries. In 1919 he joined the Komsomol. In 1932, the magazine “Young Guard” began publishing the novel “How the Steel Was Tempered,” which immediately became popular. In 1935 he was awarded the Order of Lenin. He died and was buried in Moscow.

Petty love is one in which there is no friendship, camaraderie, or common interests.

The main tragedy in life is the cessation of struggle.

There are wonderful speakers, they know how to imagine wonderfully and call to have a wonderful life, but they themselves do not know how to live well. From the rostrum they call for heroic deeds, but they themselves live like sons of bitches.

Life gives every person an invaluable gift - youth, full of strength, youth full of aspirations, desires and aspirations for knowledge, for struggle, full of hopes and hopes.

To live only for the family is animal selfishness, to live for one person is baseness, to live only for oneself is a shame.

You need to set yourself a specific goal in life. Of course, you need to have enough common sense to set yourself tasks within your capabilities.

The most precious thing in life is to always be a fighter, and not to trudge along in a third-class train.

The most precious thing a person has is life. It is given to him once, and he must live it in such a way that there is no excruciating pain for the years spent aimlessly, so that the shame for a petty and petty past does not burn, and so that, when dying, he can say: all his life and all his strength were given to the most beautiful thing in the world - the struggle for the liberation of humanity.

Learn to live even when life becomes unbearable.

If the personal in a person occupies a huge place, and the public - a tiny one, then defeat personal life- almost a disaster. Then a person has a question: why live?

I organically, viciously hate people who, under the merciless blows of life, begin to howl and throw hysterics in corners.

Women give a clear and very offensive preference to people of lax morality and even sometimes vicious people over pure people. Moreover, they have some kind of hatred towards people who are completely pure.

By educating others, we are educating ourselves first and foremost.

When a person does not feel the need to work, when he is internally empty, when, when he goes to bed, he cannot answer a simple question: “What was done during the day?” – then it’s really dangerous and scary. We urgently need to gather a council of friends and save the person, as he is dying.

Creative work is wonderful, extremely hard and joyful work.

Work is the noblest healer of all ailments. There is nothing more joyful than work.

Where there is more severity, there is more sin.

Friendship is, first of all, sincerity, it is criticism of a friend’s mistakes. Friends should be the first to give harsh criticism so that the friend can correct his mistake.

Criticism is proper blood circulation; without it, stagnation and painful phenomena are inevitable.

Courage is cultivated day after day through persistent resistance to difficulties.

The public goes to the theater to watch a good performance good plays, and not the play itself: the play can be read.

This is what it sounds like in full.

“The most precious thing a person has is life. It is given to him once, and he must live it in such a way that there is no excruciating pain for the years spent aimlessly, so that the shame does not burn for a mean and petty past, and so that, when dying, he can say: whole life and all efforts were devoted to the most beautiful thing in the world - the struggle for the liberation of humanity."

The novel describes the formation of socialism in the post-revolutionary period, the civil war.

But this is not so important. The most important thing, in my opinion, is that this work is rather about the formation of character and its hardening. Main character the novel is written by Komsomol member Pavka Korchagin, or rather the author himself, because the novel is autobiographical.

Ostrovsky was terminally ill - he was blind, his joints hurt, he was offered disability, but Ostrovsky refused, preferring struggle to vegetation.

• For the modern generation, this hero is distant and unfamiliar. But what’s interesting is that a quote from this work is still used today. Apparently it touches the deepest strings of the soul and is the truth.

Take a look here too:

The most precious thing a person has is life. It is given to him once, and he must live it in such a way that there is no excruciating pain for the years spent aimlessly, so that the shame for a petty and petty past does not burn, so that, when dying, he can say: all his life and all his strength were given to the most important thing in the world - the struggle for the liberation of humanity. And we must hurry to live. After all, an absurd illness or some tragic accident could interrupt it.

The most precious thing a person has is life. It is given to him once, and he must live it in such a way that it does not cause excruciating pain for the years spent aimlessly.

A day is a small life, and you have to live it as if you were supposed to die now, and you were unexpectedly given another day.

It is necessary that behind the door of every contented, happy person there should be someone with a hammer and constantly remind them by knocking that there are unhappy people!

The past is what has passed. And if the past is still in the present, then you will need strength and courage to let it go or return it.

So as not to kill life, dying in it from boredom,
We need to change something in it - well, at least our torments.

Relationships are like a book: it takes years to write and seconds to burn.

You need to live in such a way that others feel good about your life.

We must live every day as if it were the last moment. We don't have a rehearsal - we have life! We don't start it on Monday - we live today!

Like a fable, so a life is valued not for its length, but for its content.

encyclopedic Dictionary winged words and expressions Serov Vadim Vasilievich

Life must be lived in such a way that there is no excruciating pain from wasted years.

Life must be lived in such a way that there is no excruciating pain from wasted years.

From the novel (Part 2, Chapter 3) “How the Steel Was Tempered” (1932-1934) Soviet writer Nikolai Alekseevich Ostrovsky(1904-1936): “The most precious thing a person has is life. It is given to him once, and he must live it in such a way that he is not painfully ashamed of the years spent aimlessly, so that the shame of his petty and petty past does not burn, and so that, dying, he can say: all his life and all his strength were given to the most important thing in the world: the struggle for the liberation of humanity. And we must hurry to live. After all, an absurd illness or some tragic accident could interrupt it.

Overwhelmed by these thoughts, Korchagin left the brotherly cemetery.”

Quoted as a call to a dignified, active life.
