"Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out"

This quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes speaks with the idea that lots of people never get to live out their full potential. They invest their lives preparing for something that never comes, and before they know it, their time has actually run out. This is a catastrophe, as lots of people have a lot capacity and talent that never gets to be recognized. It is a tip to maximize our lives and to not get caught up in the ordinary tasks of everyday life. We must aim to maximize our time and to live out our dreams and passions. Life is too brief to waste it away in preparation for something that may never come. We need to take threats and live life to the max.
