1 month and then gone

Alright. I know this is a little overkill but I figured, since I havent posted in so long, maybe I might do a double post this morning! I know I’m not too good a story teller yet, and I know that with enough practise, I’ll a superb one someday!
There once lived a professor who was usually a very jovial person. He was known to joke wherever he went and he was very popular amongest his students. One day, he entered his class with a calm, composed look on his face. He looked his students straight in the eyes and told his students the assignment for the month. He said “I want you to take this assignment very seriously. I want you to live your life the way you would if you found out that you only had 1 month to live. At the end of the month, you will write a 5 paged report on the outcome of the experiment.” A few of his students thought he was joking the way he usually did and began to laugh it off! The thought of having only 1 month to live? You’ve got to be kidding! He added, “Your report, which is to be submitted on the last day of the month, will determine whether you graduate or not.” After which, he left the class. The students were stupified. Some of them sat there in their chairs wondering what just hit them. Many still thought the professor was kidding. A few days went by and the students began to worry. They tried to contact the professor but he seem to be uncontactable. No one knew where he went and no one heard anything else of him. The days went by and finally, a month passed. With the ring of the school bell, the professor reappeared. He strolled into the classroom, this time his own jovial self again. He made jokes and managed to get all the students laughing. Somehow, he acted as if the month never happened. Then, he broke the atmosphere by asking all the students to submit their reports. What do you think was written on those reports? What kind of change do you think those students experienced in their lives living everyday knowing when they were going to ‘die’? Would you live you life the way you’re living now if you knew you had the same fate? So many times we live through our lives attempting to chase the end of the rainbow. We go through the same cycle over and over again and many of us have lost our perspective and reason to live in life. I’m not saying I can help you find that reason to live. All I’m doing here is showing you a way how you can find that driving force again. Ask yourself this. What would I be doing now if I know I only had 1 month to live.
