Tuesday with Morrie

I have to write this or my thought will haunt me (so dramatic). I think this is one of the reason today that i decided to give this blog thing ago (i'll promise i'll stop saying 'this blog thing' soon).

I just finished a book called 'Tuesday with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. I don't read many books and most of the time i have to drag my self to pick up a book and actually finish it. Since i don't read much i tried to be selective with my books. 'Tuesday with Morrie' is one of the book that i really enjoyed reading and i wish that it go longer.

Morrie was an old sociology professor and he was dying of ALS deasese. The book gives you a kick in life that you always need. It's hard to learn about life and observe it when you are so busy with your activities. It emphasises what's important in life and how you can make the most of your journey in this world by thinking differently toward yourself, other people and your environment.

One of the thing that i learned is about feeling, 'You feel it and you let go'. It's easy to say than do. It gives you a confirmation that it's ok to feel what you're feeling but don't hold on to it too long or it will consume you. Feel it and let it go, we have to move forward somehow. The way you look at your situation also can change your whole attitude toward the situation you are in.

I recommend this to everyone and if you want to see what's morrie looks like and watch his interview you can go to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3863455317235235085
