We pass through this world but once. (Stephen Jay Gould)

We are used to having multiple chances at everything we do in life. If you play Mario Kart and loose the race, then you can start the race over again and try again. If you go to an interview for a job, then you might get a second chance a few weeks, months, or years later, if you are lucky.

But, there is something worth thinking about, and it is the fact that we will only be here on earth once. We have one chance at life. Luckily, there are new days, meaning that after a day of failure, you can still wake up the next day and try once again. You can fix mistakes, and learn from mistakes.

However, in the large picture, it is worth knowing and thinking about the fact that we only live once. When your life comes to an end, then it is over, and the eternity is waiting for you. But, you need to do what you want to do and what you want to achieve now. Later it will be too late.

It also means that we are responsible for the outcome of our lives. If you want to be a healthy person, you need to take the necessary steps today for that to happen. If you want to get a good job, you must take the necessary measures to acquire the necessary knowledge and work hard to get where you want to.

It might not be something new to us, but sometimes it is worth thinking about it... we pass through this world only once!
