Open F2F Class notes 25 May (Eddie)
NEXT SESSION: CONTINUE WITH 3RD PART OF SPEECH
on its last legs – close to the end of its life
Eg My phone is on its last legs. I will buy a new one to replace it.
Easier said than done. – it is easier to talk about something than it is to do it
Original:
However, a story, which I will talk about later, changed my whole plan. If today was the last day of my life, I would just lay down and recall my past life and summarize it, because I want to feel the real fear, feel the exact reason I’m scared, and I want to put all these thoughts, findings and questions to rest before I leave the world peacefully. What will they say about me after my death? “She thought like a man, acted like a lady, looked like a young girl, and worked like a horse”. Or just “She was a nice person”. Just a nice person? No! I don’t want that! I want to be much more than that. I want people’s lives to have become better because of me, I want my friends to cherish our friendship because they cannot find a perfect friend like me, I want my colleagues to value / treasure our work experience because it’s hard to find a perfect co-worker / fellow engineer like me, and I want our president to feel sad because he is losing a perfect member. Yeah! I want people to remember me because of the good memories, but what if today is not my last day? I will still have a chance to be a better person. But just another day during which I can strive to be the best that I can be, and make every single moment count / matter?
