There was a movie I saw a few years back in which the main character found out she had a month or so to live and she decided to do everything that she has always wanted to do in life. So if you found out that you only had a week to live, what would you do? Me personally, I would take my family and my savings and go to Hawaii and sit on the beach....I would withdaw all my savings and deposit them directly into my children's bank accounts...I would call all my friends and have one big party before goign to hawaii :)

Be in that situation if I only have a week, then I have to make it fast. First thing that I would do is to make amends to those people I have hurt and do my confessions. Then next is to enjoy the remaining days of my life purchasing everything I want on credit. Pay time comes, I wouldn't worry about it anymore since I am already extinguished.

First, I never believe doctors. I've seen it happen too many times that someone who's been told they'll die in a month lives years. Or a perfectly healthy person keels over of a heart attack.
I've made sure my affairs are in order, and that my money will go where I want it. As for the rest, I work to feed my family and animals. As long as I spend some time each day with those I love, I'm happy. Whether that's in a week, or next year.

That's very true about doctors. I knew someone years ago who was only given 2 months to live and in the end they actually lived for 2 years. So as you can imagine, once the two months passed, this person was walking on egg shells everyday b/c she felt as though she was living on borrowed time...

i really dont know.but i can tell you my teachers' answer 2 this question,who once discuss it with us.at first he's talking abt a uniform which the fast-food-restaurant workers wear,he said he would die in that,then comes the question:what you gonna do knowing you are dieing?his answer:just stay in the room where he put keep his books reading em till the end.reading is a good cure which let you forget everything in the real life,but isthat a happy ending i doubt

I would spend my time with my family and loved ones the whole week. I would go to nice place with them. Hang out with my family and friends a lot. Eat lots and lots of foods that i like. Try all the things that entertains and what makes me happy..oh there's so many things to do!
