A very touching book. I was deeply moved by their hearts and professor's moral from life.

This is the first time I've actually used a highlighter to highlight certain parts of the book. I strongly recommend this for anyone who is down or who wants to find a greater meaning of life.

Over Rated

The lesson is too shallow. Just like one of Canton Pop Song.

The second book of Mitch Albom.

The second book of Mitch Albom.
On each Tuesday Morrie and Mitch had a conversation on a topic relating to life. It lasted for fourteen Tuesdays before the poor coach passed away.
I was most moved by the topics on Emotion and Money.
Not as innovative as his <The Five People you met in Heaven>, but these were real lessons and should not be compared with fiction.
A very touching scene towards the end. Reminded me of the true meaning of life.
　
"We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do."
"The core of the problem... was human beings wanting to feel that they mattered"
"They don't know what they want in a partner. They don't know who they are themselves - so how can they know who they're marrying?"
"... you need to be at peace with his desires..."

This book was introduced to me by a very good friend

It was yesterday. I didn't read the book for the first time I owned it, I listened to it without a break and it lasted 3hrs 41 mins. It has a prologue and the real dialogue between Morrie and Mitch at the beginning and end of the audio book respectively. It was narrated by the author himself.

I haven't been crying that much since my best friend's death and the last time I read the book " my sister's keeper" by Jodi Picoult. Anyway this is a thought provoking book and it made me rethink my attitude towards life.
When I finished reading the book in my kindle this evening, I read the actual writing this time, I held my little kid in my arms and kissed him too hard that he didn't have a clue and said "Why? Why?"
Money, material life.. are important to us but without love, our family, friends... who is going to share the happiness with us.
Think about when you are going to die, would you like to die peacefully and with least torture, Or, you want to share with others and enjoy this terminal moment with people, while needing their help to wipe your ass, like you had become a baby again? Even people really want you to hang in there and listen to your enlighten aphorism.
I'm fine but just need this crying out loud! This book remindes me of my father, the most painful lost I had in my life. Tearing is like an offloading process for sorrows and sadnesses.
I'm greatful for all I have, treasuring every minute and every second living in this world.
Thanks for the referral of this book to me, my friend, its amazing.
