The time we have left I often think about how much time we have left. If we count all the hours we spend on being asleep, eating and preparing food, working and doing household chores, we'll see how little time we have for doing things we were born to do. I mean we all born to do something specific in this world, something which is our destiny, which we like to do and we are the best to do and this makes us happy. I think it's only the way we should spend our life - to realize as soon as possible what we like to do and to do it as more as possible. And it's the thing I teach my kids to do. But the other side is that we all have emotions. When I'm tired or hungry I think only about the rest and food, so like my daughter once said when she fell down and hurt her finger, I said like It was nothing serious and it's gonna be OK and she replied: "I know, but it hurt now!" So the point is we all know how to live our life but it's very difficult no to waste it.

The Actual Time We Have in Life

I often think about how much productive time we actually have in life. If we eliminate all the hours we spend on being asleep, the preparation and eating of food, doing household chores, and finally, working, we can actually see how little time we have for doing the things we were born to do. I mean we all born to do something specific in this world as our destiny that will make us happy; something that we not only like to do, but also are good at. I honestly think it is the only way we all should try to spend our lives: to discover as soon as possible what we like to do, and then to do it for as long as possible. This philosophy is what I teach to my kids to do, but the other side of that coin is that we all have emotions triggered by our immediate needs. For example, whenever I am tired or hungry, I only think about getting some rest or getting some food. Perhaps, a better example, as my daughter so aptly noted while responding to my words about it not being serious when she fell down and hurt her finger, “I know, but it hurts now!” My point being that we all instinctively know how to live our lives, but it is very difficult to do amid all the distractions caused by everyday living.

Hi, Tatiana. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you, Jonathan.

The time we have left

I often think about how much time we have left. If we count all the hours we spend on being asleep, eating and preparing food, working and doing household chores, we'll see how little time we have for doing things we were born to do. I mean, we all born to do something specific in this world, something which is our destiny, which we like to do and we are the best at and this makes us happy. I think it's the only the way we should spend our life - to realize as soon as possible what we like to do and to do it as much as possible. And it's the thing I teach my kids to do.

But, the other side is that we all have emotions. When I'm tired or hungry I think only about the rest and food. So, like my daughter once said when she fell (down) and hurt her finger, I said that it was nothing serious and it's gonna be OK and she replied: "I know, but it hurt now!". So the point is we all know how to live our life but it's very difficult not to waste it.
