Mitch Albom

I read this book called Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, and I fell in love with it, after that I read ‘Five people you meet in Heaven’ by Mitch Albom. These 2 books taught me so much.
‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ is about this student who is now graduated and working, he used to have a favorite teacher in college called Morrie. After getting married he met his professor again and realized the educator is dying soon. So he started going to meet him every Tuesday. This student as it turns out was also his professor’s favorite pupil. They would sit together every Tuesday and talk for a few hours. The moral of this story was let it be today, not tomorrow. If you want to say something, say it today. If there is someone you love say it today, u never know what may happen tomorrow!
‘Five people you meet in Heaven’ is about a very old guy who dies, and he meets five people in heaven who teach him to forgive and forget. It talks about how people hurt us, but with a valid reason behind it which we fail to understand at that point. After a few years when our anger has subsided, we realize why it happened!

These books were very eye opening and taught me a lot. We as individuals never realize when the time has gone; we are so busy in ourselves that we fail to do something that we want to do. We do not realize what the other person was going through when they hurt us. Because this has been proven ‘what goes around comes back around!’

The next book I’m reading is called ‘One More Day’ by Mitch Albom. Watch out for this space!
