A Touching Story of Life

If there is one thing I'd like to thank www.highfiber.org for, it's because it is where I was able to download an e-book of Tuesdays with Morrie. Last month, I was so pissed because I got overwhelming pokes after I posted the lyrics to the singles of the top two American Idol Season Five finalists (Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee).If you want to experience what I did, try visiting the said site. Yeah,it's cool coz you get to download songs, pictures, and documents.But people can be so mean there!!!

I have heard great reviews on Tuesdays with Morrie, and I saw it countless times on the bestseller's list at National Bookstore. But when I finished reading it this afternoon, I found myself crying because unlike the main character, Morrie, I still have questions in life unanswered and I still find myself doubting people around me though I shouldn't.

Below is the summary of it that I got from http://www.albom.com/morrie.htm.

"Tuesdays With Morrie" is the heartwarming story of Albom's relationship with his college mentor, Morrie Schwartz, with whom Albom has lost touch for 16 years. Upon seeing him on the "Nightline" program - talking to Ted Koppel about what it was like to die from Lou Gehrig's disease - Albom was both horrified and ashamed. He called his old teacher, flew to Boston for a reunion, and began a series of weekly visits, rekindling their loving teacher-student relationship while tackling a larger subject in their final "class": the meaning of life.

Tuesdays With Morrie details those Tuesday visits, and the shared reflections on love, work, marriage, envy, children, forgiveness, community and aging, all seen though the eyes of a wise old man who was down to his last days.



My favorite aphorism from Morrie: "Don't give up too soon, but don't hold on too long!"

Life is definitely too short! Go live it to the fullest!
