Question

If you had only one more month to live, what would you do?

Can anyone give me 3~4 points for the question above?
And how should I start my introduction with this kind of question which can get the audience attention?

Thanks for the help ...

Answer 1

Everyone in this world is different, is unique.Everyone has their own ambitions and wishes.We all believe that we can fulfill all our desires or, atleast most of them within our lifetime.But what if, you were told that you had only one month to live.I too fell in a deep thought one day....

I felt like so much to do in so little time.I now realised that I should not have wasted my precious time when I had it.Therefore it is rightly said that "One realises the value of something only when there is very little of it is left"

AND THE POINTS REGARDING THE THINGS YOU WOULD DO :
1.something good that should appeal to the judges that you are a good natured person
2.it should not be unrealistic eg end the world war or win the nobel prize which is quite impossible
3.you can also present how you felt when the end days neared for you

Thankyou

There are many ways to get the attention of your audience. Strategy 1: The shock value is to start off by saying "By the way each of you is going to die... but you all will have one month to live. What will you do with it? " When you ask your question, besure to look at a few people in the eye, point at them and look serious...... (If you're ina smaller group, you can get out from behind the lectern/podium and walk up to them...

Stratagy 2: Question w/analogy. Ask the question flat-out, like the one you asked; or a little story/analogy. and then the question. The analogy preps up the audience for the question.

Stategy 3: Statistics- (a)you can give some statistics on how many people are unsure of how they would spend that last month, or if you can find some interesting stat on the most popular to the question.. (b) another fun option you could do is ask several members of the audience of what they think the most popular answers to the question would be, then share the stats with them.

The purpose of the speech is not so much what you say; it's how you present the information. :)

What would I do with just one more month to live?
1. Pray for more time ( if possible)
2. Tell all the people closest to me that I love them, and to thank them for loving me in return.
3. Go to work to try to pay down as much of the funeral costs in advance, so that the impact of my loss will not hurt as much.

Prepare the body of the speech with all of your points and strategies. Remember in your introduction and in your conclusion, to include the main points. (you know that we have such a short attention span, it's nice to be reminded what you had just told us!-LOL)

Hope these tips help you, good luck!

I can't answer what I would do until the 1 month 2 live is upon me.
Bad luck & all that.
If U have 2 give a lecture/talk, go in with a plastic dogs toy or similar distracting item, not related 2 UR talk.

Do UR lecture, ask 4 questions & I bet U they'll want 2 know what the plastic hamburger or whatever is all about.
Say it was 2 " hold their attention " & I bet U it'll worked!

Answer 4

I would spend most of my time with my family, give the money to my parents for my funeral arrangements, and shower.... I have worked at the morgue before and really would not want to be dirty for them... they got to clean you up... so I would rather be mostly clean all ready... but for an introduction you may wanna try something like...

You just found out from your doctor that you have one month to live, that is it... no more or less time.... but you have so much unfinished business to take care of.... the things that you would do in your final days before death are......

hope this helps....
goodluck

Introduction...

Sitting in the doctors office, flipping through magazines, but not reading anything.....because my mind keeps wandering, finally I hear my name called. I swallow the big lump in my throught and make my way down to his office, and wait again. My head spinning, finally I hear a knock on the door, and in he comes. HIs face is serious, and my heart is pounding. He sits down, faces me, and says, "I am very sorry to tell you ______, but you only have 1 month to live" My heart sank, everything became like a dream. What would you do.

After that its up to you kid. Think about what you would do, and remember to be descriptive, to better allow your audience to envision your story. Good luck

Answer 6

If I had only one month to live,

I would wake up every morning with a prayer...asking forgiveness and forgiving others.

....to be able to take a journey each day and be able to acknowledge things around you....a walk or a hike...no matter where or what the weather...listen, hear, look and walk very slowly as to not miss any sign on your path.

And pray again before you sleep that night with thankfulness.
