Before going
into the depth of the book, let's ponder over some questions. How will you feel
when you will be aware of your remaining days? Will you enjoy your remaining
days or will you spend those days thinking about death and becoming worried?
Have you ever had a teacher that wasn't only your teacher but also your best
friend? Yes! here is one of the famous writers Mitch Albom who had
the best teacher named Morrie. He was not only a teacher but also a best
friend.
This book has
two main characters, one is Morrie and one is Mitch
Albom who is a student of Morrie. The teacher of Mitch Albom was
suffering from an uncured disease ( ALS). ALS is such a deadly virus that
disables a body to work. This book contains the lessons which were taught
to Mitch Albom by Morrie. This book teaches one of the true
relationships between a teacher and a student. A real teacher is not the one
who just gives a student information or knowledge about a book or a subject
rather a real teacher is the one who gives a student lessons about life and
changes a student's life like Morrie who was the teacher of social psychology,
but he had provided life-changing lessons to the students.
Here are some of the lessons which Mitch Albom got from his best teacher
Morrie.
Acceptance:
The biggest thing is
acceptance. Accept how you are, accept your weakness, and accept your
disabilities because it is the reality and reality can not be changed and you
need to live with them as Morrie did. Morrie was affected
by a deadly disease but he accepted that and enjoyed his remaining days. So, we
should also accept it and enjoy every moment because life is taste, after
tasting it once you can't get it again to taste it.
Forgiveness:
Learn to forgive yourself
and others. Actually, we never forgive ourselves over petty mistakes, in
return, we hurt ourselves for those acts. This brings distances in
relationships. So forget all the things and forgive All. If your purpose is to
get involved so get involved because time must not be a barrier to stop you to
get involved.
Regret:
Never regret what you have
done because that has gone. Regretting can not correct that hence that puts one
in desperation and overthinking. So, always try to forget what has gone. By
regretting that can not be redone instead of regretting we must learn lessons
from that and we must not think of doing such things again.
Death:
Death is a permanent thing
and those who were given life have to die one day. So, never fear death.
Fearing death makes you worried and doesn't let you enjoy it. So enjoy the days
which are remaining.
Family:
There is no doubt that
family is not the most important part of our lives. It's family who always
supports us, and helps us but not every family. There are still some families
because of whom one fears doing a thing. That also puts a child in distress and
does not let a child enjoy life. So, a family should be the protector of a
child.
Money:
Money is just paper, It is
the dust of a Hand. It is not the only thing that can decide one's luck. It is
not only the thing that can make one happy. Actually, the problem is that we
are giving too much value to the money that it doesn't deserve. Money may buy
diamonds, gold, or anything that one wants but it can not buy respect and love.
It may give you a comfortable life but it can not give you real happiness. So,
do not try to chase money rather chase the suggestions of your elders which can
give you a prosperous life.
So, these were some of the lessons that Mitch Albom got from his teacher by
meeting him every Tuesday. So one Tuesday, they decided to work on a project so
this was their project. And as they met each other every Tuesday; therefore,
they gave the name to the book "Tuesdays with Morrie."
