    Dying people reveal the advice EVERYONE should live by - including putting down the to-do list and forgetting about your flaws
    People who are dying have taken to Quora to reveal their life advice

    If you were given the devastating news that you were terminally ill, it's highly likely you would reassess your priorities as you decide how to spend the time you have left.

    Now people from around the world who know how it feels to be running out of time have taken to the Q&A site Quora to respond to the question, 'As a dying person, what is your advice to the living?', so that everyone can learn to embrace life to the full.

    One woman who is battling a terminal illness, and is practically housebound aside from a brief trip into the garden every two weeks, insisted that she now feels 'luckier than ever' as her priorities are 'crystal clear'.

    'I care about my family and loved ones. I want them to know exactly how much I love them, which is more than anything else. That's it,' she said, adding that the to-do lists that used to rule her life are no longer important.
    'Simply be mentally present... It is the greatest gift you can give, and it doesn't cost you anything. You will never regret having done that, no matter how long or short your life may be.'


    People who are dying have shared the life advice they believe everyone can learn from in a discussion on the Q&A site Quora




    A dying woman advised people not to waste time on tasks and to-do lists, but to make the most of time with family and loved ones

    Another cancer patient said that reminiscing on fond memories and appreciating small pleasures such as sitting on the patio he built in the sun keep him happy.

    And he said that he tries to be empathetic to the family and friends who are supporting him.

    I have been in their shoes and lost loved ones to cancer,' he explained. 'In fact, that was emotionally harder than this is.'
    A 27-year-old woman from Australia who died last week left behind a letter of life advice, including spending money on your friends instead of buying new clothes and letting go of body hang ups.


    Cancer patient Scott said that losing friends and family to cancer was more difficult than his own battle, and advised people to find joy in simple pleasures like sitting in the sun



    Keeping a gratitude journal and counting blessings helped this man after he was told he had months to live at the age of 32


    Follow your own truth and not listening to what others expect of you was this woman's advice


    This woman's advice included being a better person by acting in a selfless way and becoming more spiritual


    Instead of constantly trying to be happy, instead pursue what feels meaningful to you

    I wonder what people who has a huge hallowness inside would give as an advice when they're dying.
