Tuesdays with Morrie...

My piano teacher reminds me this book/movie..., it is a very good; touching; educating; semtimental book/movie. I saw the movie on TV (Pearl) a few years ago. I like it so, so much.

The book is based on a true story between an old man, Morrie (he is dying) and a young man (the author). Morrie is a teacher of the young man. Morrie has given the life's greatest lesson to the author before his death. Here are some quotes from the book:

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."

"You know what gives you satisfaction?"
is"Offering others what you have to give"
