Tuesdays with Morrie

This is actually a book by Mitch Albom. A book about an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson. Thanks to Siew Ling from my class to share this book with me. It's really a story that everyone would like to share. I'll tell u the lessons i've learnt from the book before i tell u about the publisher.

The book talks about an old professor dying of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Lou Gehrig's disease, a brutal, unforgiving illness of the neurological system. It takes away life slowly and the suffering will want you to call for quit before u actually die. But he din give up when he knows the news, he appreciate what's left with him and he goes on with his life as usual. Admiring the leaves outside the window changing colors, being thankful of the friends that visits him. And during his final days, he even appreciate a good massage on his toes, and a wipe on his ass.

From what he says, people always go and struggle for what the think they want, but we should always rest on what we need. We need to wear clothes, we want Gucci. We should instead spend more time appreciating what we have and LOVE. LOVE always wins. That's why... dying is not really a problem if you never regret on what you've done in the past. You'll not want to go back and be 16 again. When you're 20, you've a 5 yr old in you, u've a 12 yr old with you and you also have a 20 yr old in you. So you have no reason to live 16 again.

Everyone needs a teacher guiding you. And this book is a teacher to me. Morrie is someone i like to be, listening to people's problem, paying full attention to the problem and with my own experiences, trying to help those in need. That's my part in the society, or at least in my group of friends. That's the purpose of this blog as well, to Learn and Share. I've never quit blogging this far as Learning and Sharing is a journey, not a destination. I hope that my readers will live and grow with me. Being together means friendship never dies.

Alright, i think i've raised ur interest to get this book. YiLing @ Cirnelle also finished this book twice already. She should say smth about it as well. I've only read it once, but i'll read it again once i found the book in the stores. It's a good present as well since the government is encouraging a reading society.

Here's the Publisher - DOUBLEDAY ISBN 0-385-49649-4. Hope u guys enjoy the book.

Here's a flash that talks about a guy who came from a problematic family and have to get into jail. It'll take some time to load. << Life's a struggle >>
