That quote resonates a lot with me.

My lowest points are when life becomes too easy. When I start to miss the point of living.

I quit my job and moved to a new country because I was becoming complacent, repeating the same thing every day.

It's the moments closest to death when we are truely alive. Whether it's being struck by a disease, as Stephen Hawking tragically was all those many years ago, or climbing a mountain (and in my cause, getting stuck).

Pre-prepared is exactly how most obituaries are written. Newspapers keep such pre-prepared obituaries of famous people on-hand so that they can publish them instantly if that person happens to die.

Any newspapers who don't do this will lose the all-important race for publication to newspapers that do.
