b) Looking at life with hope for the future and expecting more from life than just one day. Option a) sees no future that's depressing.

That might depend on you, on how you are! I would choose none but I would say this: live your life at what pace you want but find time to stop and smell the flowers! I have no ideea either how to live like the first or the last day of my life but I know this: you cannot live all of your days in the same pace, even if it is a great life and you find nothing but happines becouse your psychic will eventualy get tired! We are created to have a whole range of emotions so we need to sometimes be sad, sometimes happy, sometimes dull, sometimes excited, sometimes smart, sometimes stupid,etc! So I don't think that any of these two attitudes are smart!

It completely depends on how you interpret either one. Personally, I don't think there's much difference. I see both as suggesting you live life to the fullest and strive for a nice balance between responsibility and pleasure.
A suggests you live as if you needn't be held down by all the trivial concerns of day-to-day life. B suggests you start a new life, of sorts, with a new attitude and a fresh outlook. Just different ways of saying the same thing.

letter A is the same with what people says, "Live your life to the fullest," it literally means that you have to do whatever things you NEED to do wherein you're not the only one that could gain an importance with that but also the people whom you lived with and help.
Christians believed that trials are all part of their lives so they always hope for the best every minute of the day, recognizing that God is still superior to everyone and anything in this world. They could as well decided not to follow and obey God's teachings but they knew for the fact that is either HEAVEN or HELL, so out of obedience they choose to follow God and I've experienced that as well. So, try to live your life to the fullest but out of love and not just mere OBLIGATIONS....

The best is to live the day as another today in life, which is what it is anyway!! But every today must be considered more important than any other day.

a. live today like the final day of your life
If you liveed like the first day you would be reserved about things as you would care what people thought and consequences and things like that.

I think B is a better attitude. You should experience life in a refreshing feel, and always feel young and beautiful.

a - my reasoning being that you are only on this world for a short amount of time, so you should have no regrets for not doing what you want to do. quote from 'nothing else matters, metallica' - life is ours, we live it our way
if you want to live tentatively, being safe all your life, that's your decision. life is yours, live it your way
