Tuesday with Morrie
Despite being a sports journalist with a successful career ahead of him, Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life. This all changes when he is reunited with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz. On discovering that Morrie is being weakened by a severe illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays. The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in a series of lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it.

Different readers , different comments on the book
As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes -- the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last.
Appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day.
“…the big things-how we think, what we value-those you must choose yourself. You can`t let anyone- or any society- determine those for you”.
Most people “seem half-asleep”, even when they doing things they think are important.
It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values.
The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.
Always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life.
Like Mitch, Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full, knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could. As Morrie`s favourite poet Auden said,” Love each other or perish.”
1 According to Morrie, what are “the big things” in life
2 What is your understanding of Auden’s words: “Love each
other or perish”
We should love who we love and who loves us, or else the life is meaningless.
The big things in life are how we think, what we value.
Think & Share
3 How do you usually learn lessons about life Through experience or learning from other people Give an example.
4 Can you critically evaluate other people’s opinions and make your own judgements
Both .
I learn from one friend who earned lots of money at the cost of his own health that we should value our own life and those who love us.
Yes . I think that knowing necessary information can effectively, critically acquire, evaluate information and creatively use information based on facts.

The Fourth Tuesday
He nodded toward the window with the sunshine streaming in. “You see that You can go out there, outside, anytime. You can run up and down the block and go crazy. I can’t do that. I can’t go out. I can’t run. I can’t be out there without fear of getting sick. But you know what I appreciate that window more than you do.” Appreciate it
“Yes. I look out that window every day. I notice the change in the trees, how strong the wind is blowing. It’s as if I can see time actually passing through that windowpane. Because I know my time is almost done, I am drawn to nature like I’m seeing it for the first time.”
The Fifth Tuesday
Say I was divorced, or living alone, or had no children. This disease—what I’m going through—would be so much harder. I’m not sure I could do it. Sure, people would come visit, friends, associates, but it’s not the same as having someone who will not leave. It’s not the same as having someone whom you know has an eye on you, is watching you the whole time.
“This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there’s someone who is watching out for them. It’s what I missed so much when my mother died—what I call your ‘spiritual security’—knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame.”
The Eleventh Tuesday
“The problem, Mitch, is that we don’t believe we are as much alike as we are. Whites and blacks, Catholics and Protestants, men and women. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own.
“In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive, right And at the end of life, when you get like me, you need others to survive, right ” His voice dropped to a whisper. “But here’s the secret: in between, we need others as well.”
Conclusion
Have you ever really had a teacher One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine
If you are lucky enough to find your way to such teachers, you will always find your way back. Sometimes it is only in your head. Sometimes it is right alongside their beds.
