They advised me to go home and get my __7__ in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to __8__". Later that evening when the doctors __9__ the cells taken from my pancreas (胰腺) under a microscope, they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is __10__ with surgery. I had the surgery and, __11__， I'm fine now.

　　This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the __12__ we all share. No one has __13__ escaped it. And that is __14__ it should be, because death is very likely the single __15__ invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make __16__ for the new. Your time is __17__， so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma (信条) - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of __18__ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to __19__ your heart and intuition(直觉). They __20__ already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
