Answer and Explanation:

Curtis Jackson was shot 9 times and had his life almost snatched from him. Most people would lose their lives at the impact of one bullet, Curtis didn't. It doesn't immediately add up but somehow it does add up. Curtis Jackson's life flashed right before his eyes but his vision got even sharper, his mission and goal became immediately urgent, and clear. He began to live in the truest sense of the word "living". It may seem that destiny had led his shooter to his car, that fateful afternoon.

This story from 50 cent's autobiography is a constant reminder that life is like a flash of light and the only way to truly appreciate it is to know it's transience and maximise every moment.
