It's just a simple book with yellow front cover that may not attract you to stopby when you're brownsing books in bookstore.And it's not a thick book either, just 192 pages,but each page and each chapter will teach you life's greatest lesson. : )It's an inspirational true story.The author uses verbal inflection in exactly the right places to evoke humor, empathy, and emotion.Morrie, after a rich life filled with friends, family, teaching, and music, was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, a crippling illness that diminished his activities daily. Albom was one of hundreds of former students and acquaintances who traveled great distances to visit Morrie in the final months of his life.The 14 Tuesday visits that followed their reunion took Albom on a journey of reawakening to life's best rewards.

The First Tuesday

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love,and to let it come in.Let it come in.We think we don't deserve love,we think if we let it in we'll become too soft.But LOVE is the only rational act.

The Second Tuesday

It's horrible to watch my body slowly wilt away to nothing.But it's also wonderful because of all the time I get to say good-bye.Not everyone is so lucky.

The Third Tuesday

What if today were your last day on earth?The culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die.We're so wrapped up with egotistical things,career,family,having enough moeny,meeting the mortgage,getting a new car-we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going.So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying.Is this all?Is this all i want?Is something missing?

The Fourth Tuesday

Once you learn how to die , you learn how to live.

The Fifth Tuesday

Love is supremely important.Love each other or perish.

The Sixth Tuesday

Take any emotion-Love for a woman ,or grief for a loved one,or what I'm going through,fear and pain from a deadly illness.If you hold back on the emotions-if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them -you can never get to being detached,you're too busy being afraid.

The Seventh Tuesday

Aging is not decay.It's growth.It's more than negative that you're going to die,it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die,and that you live a better life because of it.

The Eighth Tuesday

You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship.

The Ninth Tuesday

Love is how you stay alive , even after you're gone.

The Tenth Tuesday

Loved one is so important.friends are great,but friends are not going to be here on a night when you're coughing and can't sleep and someone has to sit up all night with you ,comfort you,try to be helpful.

The Eleventh Tuesday

Women not being thin enough ,or men not being rich enough.It's just what our culture would have you believe.Dont' belive it.

The Twelfth Tuesday

It's not just other people we need to forgive,we also need to forgive ourselves.

The Thirteenth Tuesday

We can die without ever really going away.All the love you created is still there.All the memories are still there.You live on-in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.

The fact that this is a true story makes it even more powerful. The lessons are about life. Heartbreaking and at the same time wonderful .Beautiful and inspirational and yes, even sweet. One of the better books I have read this year. remarkable! : )
