I'm done with the book, "Tuesdays with Morrie" already! So fast yeah? It's really one of the greatest book that I've ever read. For those who knows me, you will know that I've always have a chinese love novel in my bag no matter where i go.. (of cos not compass point those kind of places la. so near) hahaha. But duno why I have the urge of changing the usual habit, but taking up english books instead. First, was the Law of Attraction that keefe passed it to me many months ago. hahaha. read it halfway but it's kind of dry in a sense. But still manage to finish it up just a week ago? hahaha. Now, I shall share the First page of "Tuesdays with Morrie" with you guys... and the first page already motivated me to continue flipping the pages because it is simply too wonderful a book for me to learn. The last class of my old Professor’s life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed it’s pink leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was meaning of life. It was taught from experience. No grades were given, but there were oral exams each week. You were expected to respond to questions, and you were expected to pose questions of your own. You were also required to perform physical tasks now and then, such as lifting the professior’s head to a comfortable spot on the pillow or placing his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Kissing him good-bye earned you extra credit. No books were required, yet many topics were covered including love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness and finally death. and it goes on like that……….
