...to live.
It will be painless. What do you different, or do you do the exact same thing you are doing now?
Only things are:
1) You can't mention to anyone about your impending death (otherwise you will immeadiately die in your worst scenario imagined).
2) Just you will die, not anyone else (I include this claus for those here that are close friends for example NUKE and Steve).

Something philisophical to give the whining fingerpointing a rest

Do you pursue a different career? Spend more time with friends and family? What do you do?

I'd go back to college if I had 10 years to live.......maaan, all those years of partying and smoking Christ-knows-what. Oh wait, I do that now anyway. Disregard.

hmmmm well I'd have to break it into two choices:

the moral choice:

do what some people referr to as "God's work" helping any living soul I can and not expecting a thing out of it.

The Fun choice:

I would get off my lazy ass, quite eating frito pies, and then get back into shape. After that I would attempt to qualify for SF: combat para rescue, Forward air controller, CSAR or something High speed low drag that I'm likely to get killed doing but because of saburos rules I know I wont.

Not if you do something worthy of the Darwin Award. You could die before the 10 years is up. You won't be invincible.
For those going to school, your 10 year deadline starts after you graduate (only if you make a true effort in graduating in a reasonable amount of time, not a class per semester for 20 years).

Have another child and spend as much time with them as possible. My daughter died at 3 and it's my only real regret in life that I have'nt found the right woman to have another with.

An intensely personal topic with specific answers for each individual.

For me, it is all about minimizing regrets. When you talk to people who know their time is soon at hand, they regret not having persued their youthful dreams. They wanted to play the violin, fly a plane, become a professional tennis player or any number of things.

They regret words they said and actions they did.

They regret not spending time with the people they wanted to, and regret not doing the things they simply wanted to do, but put them off as things to do 'later' when they had the time to do them.

No one says they regret not spending more time at a job they didn't love.

Quit work and spend 9 years and 364 days enjoying life, both volunteering for people that need assistance and completely doing things self-centered.

The last week I'd take someone with me, preferably some dirt-bag that doesn't deserve life. Reminds me of the guy who entered a court room, shot the convicted molester who was about to be sentenced, and said, "You'll never do that to anyone else." I'd like to do that for a family...

10 years or tomorrow, I'd live it the way I am now. The best I can.
My heart goes out to you RPM, Nothing hurts like that.

I'd go skydiving, rocky mountain climbing
I'd spend two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu man chu

I would love deeper, speak sweeter
And I give forgiveness I’d been denying
