<Tuesday with Morrie> by Mitch Albom

这本小书读过很久了，因为这次整理书架又翻了出来，对书里所讨论的又有了新的认识。

最喜欢的一段 pg 179：

“ The story is about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air — until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. “

“‘My God, this is terrible,’ the wave says ‘Look what's going to happen to me!'”

“Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, ‘Why do you look so sad?’ “

“The first wave says, ‘You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?’ “

“The second wave says, ‘No, you don't understand. You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean.’ “

第一周：关于世界：Love is the only rational act. Lossen up, give out love, at the same time let love come into your heart.

第二周：关于自怜：Set a daily-limit to self-pity. I gave myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on all the good things still in my life.

第三周：关于遗憾：Ask the big question: what if today is the last day? You might be able to reset your values and goals.

第四周：关于死亡：Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live. You will strip away all that staff we automatically think we have to do and focus on the essentials. You will be more involved in your life while you're living. 

第五周：关于家庭：Love each other or perish. 
There is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family. //Do not stop your lives. Otherwise, this disease will have ruined three of us instead of one.

第六周：关于情绪：Learn to detach. See your emotions for what they are, experience them fully and recognize it to detach from it for a moment. 

第七周：关于害怕衰老：Find what 's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. The truth is, part of me is every age. I have been through 3 year old, 5 year old and 37 year old, and I know what it's like. I delight in being a child when it's appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it's appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am at every age, up to my own. 

第八周：关于金钱：Differentiate what you want and what you need. Offering others what you have to give.

第九周：关于永恒的爱：Love is how you stay alive. Be with the person you are with. 

第十周：关于婚姻：Respect, compromise, talk openly and share the common set of values for life.

第十一周：关于文化：Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who you love.

第十二周：关于原谅：Make peace with yourself and the people around you. Forgive yourself, forgive others. 

第十三周：关于完美的一天：Death is as natural as life. It ends a life, not a relationship.

第十四周：告别：Love...you. 

You talk, I'll listen. He said.
