TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

TUESDAYS 　 WITH 　 MORRIE

“Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.”

昨晚在燈光下靜靜地翻看著這本書，試圖回憶這麽多年的求學生涯中，是否有一位能夠讓我永遠懷念的老師。。。搜索了半天，遺憾地歎了口氣，默默地對自己說，我有爸爸媽媽的教導，就已經足夠。

或許我是一個和老師沒有緣分的孩子。不懂巴結，不懂奉承，不懂甜言蜜語，於是自然而然的當不成老師的寵兒，即便我的成績總是最好的…我總是唯一一個不是班幹部的三好學生，因為 “ 民心所向 ” 。。。幼小的心靈，似乎早早看透了這一份單純的職業，還有並不單純的人群。。。於是從小到大，都非常排斥成為一名教師。或許，我是不願在國內複雜的大環境下，成為一名我自己都不屑一顧的教師。。。與其在染缸中身不由己，還不如退而另辟蹊徑，教自己想教的人，說自己想說的話。。。可是，在心裏卻還是留有一分遺憾，這個世界上，可以擔得起良師益友這個稱號的老師，已經鳳毛麟角。

所以當我看到 TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE 這本書時，心中泛起的感動是筆墨難以形容的。無論是 MORRIE ， 還是 MITCH ，他 們都是幸運的。 MORRIE 懂得全心全意去 愛，懂得真心誠意地付出，懂得人生是個不斷追尋愛的真諦的課題，即使在生命的盡頭也要微笑； MITCH 更是幸運， 擁有這樣的導師，為他撥正了人生方向。。。

師者 ，所以傳道授業解惑者也。像 MORRIE 這樣的教授，才真正擔得起師者這份重量吧。

這是一本經典，建議有機會瀏覽一下。

LOVE WINS, LOVE ALWAYS WINS 。

think of a joke. There is a scene related to this joke.

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says . . "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?" Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really!? Like a new-born baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."
