Have you ever read a book that touches you so much that you will never ever forget? “Tuesdays with Morrie” which hit the bookstores worldwide years ago is the one you need. It is an incredibly moving portrayal of the relationship between two people who are so close that they seem to be father and son. The storyline is based on a real life experience of man, Mitch Albom with his ex-professor, Morrie. At the start of the story, the narrator gives a brief introduction of his weekly meetings with Morrie, his former professor, each Tuesday. His meetings are like an extension of his studies with Morrie. Each chapter is organized into an amazing lesson and the topics covered in the story are about the meaning of life. The classes are held in Morrie’s home but no grades are given and no books are required. From my standpoint, this book has really brought to me laughter and sadness. When I read the whole story, there are a lot of food for thought in my mind – love, family, money, death and the like. As Morrie says in the story, money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I really think this statement is so true. Money means nothing, and neither money nor power can be substitute for tenderness. A person who is fond of money and power will only end up living on his own forever and ever.
