I Read The Life's Greatest Lesson

.... Morrie said now, looking at a photo of his oldest son. "I simply say, 'There is no experience like having children.' That's all. There is no substitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover. ..... having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bonding the deepest way......"

I love this part of the story. It is a true story that touches my heart. "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.

Have you ever in your life met someone, it could be your teacher, colleague, friends, someone older, wiser and patient who have helped you see the world in a different light? And gave you sound advice to guide your way through it.

For this author, it is his college professor who taught him nearly 20 years ago. And of course, like everyone else, he lost track of his mentor as time passed, and the world seem colder.

The author got the second chance to meet his mentor in the last months of the old man's life. The author got his one final class - lessons in how to live.

Everytime I read the book, I blinked back tears. Every pages of it is so meaningful and it teaches life's greatest lesson - something that everyone of us take for granted...
