Time is off the essence and we should seize every opportunity that life may afford us. Never put off for tomorrow what can be done today. In this video this tragic accident allow the speaker to realize how important it is to take part of every moment life rather it be good times or bad times. Sometime we just have to do what we feel and live for the moment. life is a vapor and once it is gone it is gone. so that why every moment to cherish with family and friends should be important and that time should be used wisely.

With having an extreme life experience like he had is something that would change a persons life. We always think that we have years and years to live. But you never know if tomorrow would be your last. So you should live life to the fullest!

Great parent video, with our without children. Donot postpone life, have experiences and no regrets or animosity, and chose to be happy. So much to learn when life is hitting you in the face head on. Live differently and how you would change your life.

Excellent inspiration. What would you do differently. I myself have experienced much loss early in life and do try to remove the negative energy or not focus on it. I have found that it is easy to go down the negative energy path and it does suck the joy out of many things. I choose to be happy. I embrace it. That doesn't mean you are never cranky or have bad days it means that when you can, as often as you can choose to be happy. And it will project positive energy not just for you, but to those around you.

When anyone is going to die or facing a moment where they will deal with something for the rest of their life it is called near death experience. When you have one of these you will know you had one of these. What goes through your mind will be very specific too you. You are going to think about what you have done and what will be left undone.

During traumatic moments people say things become clear and understanding. Hopefully my life is never to clear.

This video really puts life into perspective. I couldn't imagine going through that or what would cross my mind in that short time frame. A lot of people fly through life so quickly that they lose sight of what is important. Traumatic experiences (while not at all pleasant) do give people the opportunity to rethink their lives. I think the only way to live life is to not lose sight of yourself or what you want in life. Life is too short to spend it doing things that you don't like.

This video is right on. Sometimes it takes our lives to flash before our eyes before we look around us and realize that things are not the way we'd like them to be. He had a chance to fix it but some people don't. The message is life is short so make sure your priorities are in order.

Life is truly too short and precious. Some people take it for granted and when a traumatic experience such as this happens it wakes people up. We should never take anything for granted and always live life to its fullest. Sometimes being spontaneous helps us to accomplish things we would not ordinarily do because it is out our norm from our everyday lives. Always put family first because they are the ones who will always be there. If you experience negative events take that and turn it into something positive.

It is not only hard but painful to imagine when you know you are going to die. What would I be thinking at that moment when I'm praying for miracles to come? I hope there'll be people survive to help with the crash investigation. I hope my family and people who love me and who I love live a happy life. I hope I don't have any regrets left behind me. I hope I extended all my appreciation and apologies to people who I owe them to, so that I don't have to die with regrets or unaccomplished will. We should live every day like there's no tomorrow, and indeed, anything can happen.

It is amazing that sometimes it takes a near death experience to really change your life and promote a better life. The way you respect people and we need to realize you never know when your time will come. He gives three points in his speech, do not put things off, get rid of negative energy and be the best parent you can be. I can relate to two of these points, if you are going to do something do it life is too short to be waiting, get rid of the negative and harness the positive energy. Do not be dragged down by negative feelings. This is a great video for my colleagues and for anyone who wants to learn something new.

Any traumatic experience can wake a person up. They remind you of the experiences you wanted to have, the people you wanted to spend your time with, and the reason you are alive. It pulls the regrets out of you and helps you to work to fix them. Lastly, it helps you to release negative energy. Being happy is better than being right. Learning how to live with others and admiring everything about them is the best thing that can happen.

This video goes well with the saying, life is too short so live it to the fullest. We have always been told enjoy certain points of your life because you won't get to enjoy them later. I was told to enjoy high school baseball because you may to get to play in college, fortunately I did. I was told to enjoy college life because what comes after will not be as fun. My parents who have been around for a while keep on saying they want to travel before its too late. I have always wanted to travel all over the world, thankfully I have been able to, and when I see videos like this one when he says to do everything you want to get done today because there might not be a tomorrow, really puts things into perspective. Eradicate negativity, if you keep this in your life it will be a tough one, luckily I have always been more cup full then empty. The third step of what he talks about I have not yet been able to experience but I look forward to the day I can be a great parent.

Awesome video. Its extremely sad what happen to the speaker in this video. Too often people have to have a tragedy happen in their life before they learned that tomorrow isn't promised. I try to live life to the fullest everyday. I try to do what I can today not tomorrow because it isn't promised. Very inspirational video.

This video put things into perspective. I feel like he is saying life is short and do not waste your time on unfulfilling things. This is one I will keep in the back of my mind.
