If you get to live your life again as yourself, what would you do? This is the story of Max Thorning, the protagonist in the fun syfy novel 《Life II》authored by Scott, Spotson.
It's a common sense that life is not a test run, you either made it, or you didn't. But in this fascinating story, life is a test run for Max. And the second time around was not necessarily easier than the first time.
Through his discovery of a wave theory book that led him to the harmless alien, Dr. Time, Mas Thorning chose to travel back to his own 16 year old self from 42. All because he regret his mistake that caused the death of his then girlfriend due to drunk drive and wanted to correct his mistake. But what he didn't realize was, he lost everything in the current world, including his beloved children.
With the full memory of his first life, he lived his second life in the teenage years with the maturity of an adult. He was very successful and finally obtained his MD degree and became a medical doctor. It was very interesting that he could "predict" the stock market with daring accuracy. For example, he managed to go to the college dorm in Harvard and signed a contract with Mark Zuckerberg on his Facebook initial stock offering for pennies per share.
But I think the real lessons in the story is how we value the relationships in our lives, and how we value the world we live in. None of us can relive our life (Although I could be wrong on this one. In the future, who knows?). But we can often reevaluate our life to keep it on the right track so that we will have no regret later. We've only got one chance in life, let not screw it up!
