近日得悉中六同學會閲讀Mitch Albom的“Tuesdays with Morrie”。我在數月前看過這書，覺得十分值得推介。作者文筆簡潔，每一章都能令讀者有共鳴及反思。 本書描述 Mitch 離開學校16年後，重遇他尊敬的大學教授 Morrie ，並得知他患了罕有的絕症，將不久於人世。作者相約老教授逢星期二聚會，直至老教授離世。在十四次的聚會交談中，教授與作者分享寶貴的人生課題，包括家庭、年老、寬恕、死亡等。 頭上髮絲急速變白的我，很喜歡教授的說話：If you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. If you're always battling against getting old, you've always gonna be unhappy, because you're gonna get old anyway. 而尚未踏足社會的同學，我會送上以下教授的說話：In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own. 如果同學享受閱讀此書，我向大家推薦另一本書 “For one more day”。這當然又是一本Mitch Albom的佳作，很值得推介。
