The book i am reading is tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and it was published 1997.
I wrote this book on my favorite professer Morrie schwartz so i can open your eyes on a story of lifes greatest lesson. Morrie changed and looked at life differently when he heard he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He first thought that the world would stop, but found out that it won't. He took life like everyday was his last. He didn't like the normal way of doing things so he did it the "Morrie" way.
"i want someone to hear my story. will you?" p. 63
When everyone passes away majority of them feel that they need to pass something down. I guess to Morrie that what he needs to pass on is his greatest lesson.
"Mitch i don't allow myself anymore self-pity than that. a little each morning, a few tears and thats all."p.57
It's amazing how he just goes on with his day knowing that he's just dieing every second. I would not be able to just go on like that, i think i would be crying every second not just a few tears in the morning.
"you have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now, looking back makes you competitive. And, age is not a competitive issue."p.120
This makes a lot of sense. If you keep looking at the "great times" that you have had in the past then nothing could ever really compare to that. By looking at all the great things that you have now your making yourself happy and your not living in the past that you could never get back too.
