Answer:
It is important to make the most of your life and live in the moment.
Explanation:
"A Psalm of Life" By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a philosophical reflective poem that delves into the purpose and meaning of one's life. The speaker of the poem suggests that life is all about living in the present, being optimistic, and doing one's duty.
Sending out the message that life is not just sorrow or death is not the end, the speaker believes that everyone must believe that life is not just an empty dream. Instead, one must work and do one’s responsibilities for the good of everyone. Life is short and quick, but what is important is to <em>"Act,--act in the living Present!"</em> The poet wants us to <em>"Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead!".</em> For the living, they must focus on the present and live life.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
