I finished reading the book “Tuesdays With Morrie” lately, which I should have read a long time ago. The book depicted the life’s greatest lessons the respectable professor Morrie gave his former student Mitch on Tuesdays during his battle with the incurable disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Through their discussion in classes, Morrie humorously and optimistically conveyed his perspectives on life, including family and marriage, emotions, regrets, fears, forgiveness, culture and world, and even death as well.

Life is like a journey. One started the trip once he was born. The destination for everyone is death no matter how glorious the trip is. As a grownup, one is usually too indulged with competing in the rat race to think about and enjoy his trip, as Mitch did before the reunion with Morrie. People tend to take for granted of what they possess, such as health, family and friendship until they lose them, at which time people realize how precious they are. Frequently, a bed-bond, sick or dying person values life much more wisely and deeply. Is it because they have much more time to speculate, or they just think in another way?

Let’s take a look how Morrie thought of life (some quotes).

“Do the kinds of things that come from the heart”.

“When you learn how to die, you learn how to live."

"Death ends a life, not a relationship."

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."

"Sometimes you can not believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.”

“Aging is not just decay. It's growth.

"Love wins. Love always wins."
