I don’t want to bring in any bad vibes and I definitely don’t want to dampen the mood here! But this question just hit me and I realized I’m not really sure how I’d answer.
My uncle who was young and very energetic at 39 years old suddenly died and collapsed. Life is so unpredictable and fickle. And I would be lying if I don’t say I’m scared I might just not wake up once I go to bed. I’m not really sure if this has been asked recently, but I just wonder how you guys would like to spend your last day.
Wow, that’s a heavy question, but an excellent one to think. If today were genuinely my last, I’d forgo the to-do list and focus on connection. I’d spend the morning with my family, exchanging tales, laughter, and maybe a few tears. The afternoon would be for reaching out to people I haven’t spoken to in a while, letting them know how much they mean to me. And the evening? Quiet reflection, maybe watching the sunset, and just admiring the beauty of the moment. No regrets, just appreciation
If it were my last day, I think I’d do something that makes me feel alive. Maybe I’d go skydiving, I’d want to experience pure joy, even in the smallest ways.
At the same time, I try to remind myself that since we never really know what’s coming, it’s all about making now count. So I guess the real question is ,what’s one thing you’d want to experience, no matter what?
If today was my last day, I would still spend it how I do everyday, look at trading charts, communicate with my family members, work with my team mates, eat well, exercise a little, rest well, look forward to an exciting future.
Wow, that’s a heavy question, but a good one to ponder! If today were truly my last day, I wouldn’t spend it glued to the charts, that’s for sure. While I love trading, it wouldn’t be my priority. I’d focus on the things that truly matter:
First, I’d connect with my loved ones. I’d want to tell them how much they mean to me and spend quality time with them, whether it’s a heartfelt conversation, sharing a meal, or just enjoying each other’s company. Those connections are priceless.
Second, I’d do something I enjoy, something that brings me joy and peace. Maybe it’s going for a hike in nature, listening to my favorite music, or revisiting a cherished memory. It’s about savoring the present moment and appreciating the simple things.
Third, if time allowed, I’d reflect on my life and what I’ve learned. Not in a regretful way, but more of an appreciative one. Acknowledging the good, the bad, and everything in between.
Trading, while a passion, is just one piece of the puzzle. If today were my last, I’d choose to spend it focusing on the bigger picture: love, connection, joy, and reflection. It’s a good reminder to live each day with intention and appreciate the present moment, even when the market is volatile!
I thought i have made peace with death, untill my younger brother died in a car accident last November. I never thought i could feel so much profound sorrow from any news of death. That was when I learn for real that reality hits differently.
So whatever one might say is just theoretical because you can’t really know for sure how you will react, unless one plan to off themselves, which is not really my style.

But i suppose it would be nice to get things in order, make your love feel better for ones last time, watch the sunrise.
