Precious Lessons

"tuesdays with Morrie" is a must- read book for everyone, here are few quotes from this book which I really like:

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

A wise man named Levine said “Love is the only rational act" ~

~Everyone knows they’re going to die but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently ~

~Learn to detach

                      But detachment doesn’t mean you don’t let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That’s how you are able to leave it.

You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then you can say,’All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotions for a moment ~

~As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty- two, you’d always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It’s growth. It’s more than the negative that you’re going to die, it's also that you understand you’re going to die, and that you live a better life because of it ~

~If you’re trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow, and if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between you ~

~Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone ~

~It’s not just other people we need to forgive. We also need to forgive ourselves ~

~Death ends a life, not a relationship ~

Here's my favorite thought from the book-

                    ~The truth is….once you learn how to die, you learn how to live ~

That's all from me for today folks, good night.
