It's a tricky question, because people can feel they have nothing left at many points in a long life. They look to death as the logical step, and some of them take it, but a lot of them wait, and something else does appear.
If you'd done everything there was to do in life, absolutely every activity, you could die, but you could also find a partner and raise a family quietly. If that wasn't enough of an experience for you, at least hanging around to see what the grandchildren looked liked and give them advice would be a service to your family.
On the other hand, if you were physically incapable of doing anything, perhaps bound in a hospital bed, and there was no chance of recovery, death might seem a lot more appealing, especially if the condition was going to get more painful. Still, I remember a story about a man in a hospital bed- all he could move was his eye. He learnt to blink in morse code, and wrote a novel.
I think, really seriously, that there are always more things to do and more people to meet, it's just our attitude can get us feeling that there's nothing left do. That's when we need to stay cool for a while and get our mind back in order. For the depressed person- what if you would have found a way to feel better the week after you died? For the jaded experience junky- what if the week after you died something more amazing than anything you'd ever done appeared into your life? Finally, for someone who's just bored of doing the same things everyday- don't be so lazy minded! Forget death, and start a new hobby.

You don't know what will happen when you wake up today or tomorrow.
No day passes that we aren't given the opportunity to experience something NEW no matter how small.
As well as make mistakes, which is an experience.
People make approximately 21 mistakes a day - whether that be staggering while getting out of bed, grabbing a spoon instead of a fork...
Experience is your personal lessons - And if it isn't realistic -
Then you must be sleeping!
Are you sleeping?

I don't think a life time is long enough to experience 'every thing' whether you have the chance or not .
As for dying you (nor I) have any choice in that!
Experience all that you possibly can, or at least all that you may want to , life is really very short, make the best of it while you can.

Aha, for a start, you should learn to spell correctly ! Next try really hard to empathise with those far less fortunate - they can be anywhere, friends, relations, people you work with (if you work) and just those that you read about or see on the television.

This is Allah's decision, not mine. And by default, since we are alive, there is something to experience and room for learning.

Thank You for Your Question :)
Well God didn't create us to experience new things in life but we are created for certain purpose and it is to worship God alone

If you've experience everything, you're a liar. Try stopping the lies

Your life will be full of many new experiences. Why do you ask that?
