Tuesdays with Morrie

One of my new year resolution is to read atleast 30 books (all kinds, size and types) this year and this one was the start.During my flight to Mumbai, I read a book called "Tuesdays with Morrie".

Here is the background of the book:

Morrie Schwartz was one of Mitch Albom’s college professors. Since his college graduation, Mitch and Morrie gradually lost touch; however, Mitch rediscovered Morrie during the last months of his life and they were able to rekindle their friendship. Mitch visited Morrie every Tuesday, in his study, which turned into a private lesson
on how to live life. Tuesdays With Morrie is the magical result of Mitch and Morrie’s time spent together in the months leading to his death.


Two great quotes in the book:

"Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."

"You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even when you are in the dark. Even when you're falling."
