In a graduation speech last week at the University of Pennsylvania, Mukherjee offered an important lesson about each sentence's relevance to leading a fulfilling and successful life. Additionally, he listed the four things people say before they die. Let's dive into the details below.

There are various lifestyles, leading to different ways of dying. So, what are the common last words people say before they die?

Mukherjee, in his graduation speech last week at the University of Pennsylvania, stated that each sentence provides an important lesson in understanding whether it relates to living a fulfilling and successful life.

He added, "Every person I encounter in the dying stage generally uses these four expressions":

'I want to tell you that I love you.' 

'I want to tell you that I forgive you.' 

'Can you tell me that you love me?'

'Will you forgive me?'

Mukherjee, the author of "The Emperor of All Maladies," says that people who know they are dying usually express a variation of these four themes, waiting for that moment to show their gratitude to others or to correct their interpersonal wrongs.

Richard Cowden, a Social Personality Psychologist at Harvard University's Institute of Social Sciences, suggests that before dying, people should:

  • Take responsibility for their actions. 

  • Experience negative emotions like regret and guilt. 

  • Offer a sincere apology and try to make amends. 

  • Learn from this experience and move forward.
