TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

TUESDAYS 　 WITH 　 MORRIE

“Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.”

昨晚在灯光下静静地翻看着这本书，试图回忆这么多年的求学生涯中，是否有一位能够让我永远怀念的老师。。。搜索了半天，遗憾地叹了口气，默默地对自己说，我有爸爸妈妈的教导，就已经足够。

或许我是一个和老师没有缘分的孩子。不懂巴结，不懂奉承，不懂甜言蜜语，于是自然而然的当不成老师的宠儿，即便我的成绩总是最好的…我总是唯一一个不是班干部的三好学生，因为 “ 民心所向 ” 。。。幼小的心灵，似乎早早看透了这一份单纯的职业，还有并不单纯的人群。。。于是从小到大，都非常排斥成为一名教师。或许，我是不愿在国内复杂的大环境下，成为一名我自己都不屑一顾的教师。。。与其在染缸中身不由己，还不如退而另辟蹊径，教自己想教的人，说自己想说的话。。。可是，在心里却还是留有一分遗憾，这个世界上，可以担得起良师益友这个称号的老师，已经凤毛麟角。

所以当我看到 TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE 这本书时，心中泛起的感动是笔墨难以形容的。无论是 MORRIE ， 还是 MITCH ，他 们都是幸运的。 MORRIE 懂得全心全意去 爱，懂得真心诚意地付出，懂得人生是个不断追寻爱的真谛的课题，即使在生命的尽头也要微笑； MITCH 更是幸运， 拥有这样的导师，为他拨正了人生方向。。。

师者 ，所以传道授业解惑者也。像 MORRIE 这样的教授，才真正担得起师者这份重量吧。

这是一本经典，建议有机会浏览一下。

LOVE WINS, LOVE ALWAYS WINS 。

think of a joke. There is a scene related to this joke.

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says . . "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?" Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really!? Like a new-born baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."
