a big surprise! Last night, I accidentally discovered that there is also a movie version of "Meet on Tuesday" ( http://u.adidk.com/1lr ), this great book, deeply affects my life...
For
example
1. "If you are afraid of death, it means that your life is meaningless"
- Yu was very afraid of the dark, ghosts, and death when he was a child... But after college, there was a 180-degree turn, and I think it has a lot to do with this book . In the same period, I also read similar books: Lu Youqing's "Death Diary", Zhou Guoping's "Notes of a Father", etc... So, when SARS came, I also calmly prepared for my funeral - planned Burial at sea is a very romantic way to die, haha! Although I did not contract SARS, this calm and optimistic attitude towards death has always followed me.
2. "Death," Murray
said suddenly, "is a sad thing, Mitch. But it's just as sad to be unfortunately alive."
--Fool's personal standard, how many people live unfortunately The big feature——No independent thinking, no more free time and space, and unable to pursue one's own dreams.
3. "Why do
we spend so much time on trivial things? They don't know Simpson, and they don't know anyone else involved in this case. And yet they're willing to waste time on it, Days and weeks of indulging in other people's farce. "
I'm going to pay attention to the world, to learn from the world, to see what's going on in the world like a novel, you might get mad at the people in the novel, but not too much Serious and calculating, right? But one thing I do know is that it's all under control, and I can close the book at any time and immerse myself in my own world. I can control everything about myself - including my weight, my health, my job, the city I live in, the lifestyle I want...I am relatively immune to the influence of others!

4. "I am happy to be a child when I should be a child; I am happy to be a wise old man when I should be a wise old man. I am willing to accept all the powers nature has given me. I belong to any An age, until now, can you understand me?"
Enjoy every life period, enjoy every life experience, even the most painful moment of lovelorn... Because it is inevitable, unrepeatable, it is Part of our life, respect and enjoy it, is the true love of life!
5. "Mickey, if you want to show off to the upper echelons of
society, then give up the idea, they still look down on you, if you want to flaunt yourself to the bottom of the society, please give up this idea, they will only envy you. Identity. And status often makes you feel at a loss. Only a frank heart can make you face the whole society leisurely."
——Many people always compare the achievements of others with themselves, and they feel that they are worthless. Have you ever thought about it? What about the other way around? Everyone has their own shortcomings. The official may not be able to express their true self, the rich may not have their own time, the stable office worker may live in a small part of the earth all his life, and the affectionate person may not Warm family enjoyment... Don't compare, be grateful for what you have earned is the best attitude to life!
6. "
Society is confused about what it wants and what it needs," Murray said. "What you need is food, and what you want is a chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don't need the latest sports car, you don't need the biggest house.
- One, don't want more than you can. Exceeding it will cause pain and even disaster. This is the upper line! The second is to be honest with yourself and make a list of what life really needs! This is the bottom line! We can swim between the upper line and the bottom line and try ourselves in different periods. The best location.

7. "But," he said, "there are rules in love and marriage: if you don't respect each other, your relationship will be in trouble; if you don't know how to compromise, your relationship will be in trouble; If you can't talk openly with each other, you're going to have trouble in your relationship, and if you don't share values, you're going to have trouble. You have to have the same values." And the most important of those values, Mitch. "What is it?" Your belief in the importance of marriage. "
——Although I am not married, I have been observing relatives, friends, classmates, people around me, various statistical data... I have come to the conclusion that the post-80s generation's belief in marriage is just the opposite. They feel that "freedom and individuality" are more "Belief in the importance of marriage" is more important, not to mention "mutual respect, compromise, open communication, and no common values" in marriage and relationships... I myself have not done well in previous relationships, and have always been During cultivation, I have met many very good girls who can be married. Perhaps it is because of my non-traditional education that I have formed unique experiences and values. It is really difficult to find someone with common values. However, for a happy marriage, it is still Confident! 8. "
Mitch
, I won't allow myself more self-pity. Every morning just for a little while, shed a few tears, and it's over. "Just be sad for a few minutes, and then start the day.
- This is used especially well. Friends who have known me for a long time find that I am a very happy person! They will also ask me how I did it. I think Morrie is Wisdom, we don't prevent the grief from coming, but let it vent freely and quickly, and then save the rest of the time for daily life!
The
book "Meet Tuesday" has been recommended by me countless times over the past ten years , now that I think about it, it is definitely one of the two books that has influenced me the most in the past decade, thanks to the coach :)
