Mitch overtook an interview with Murray, a professor of his college days, on TV, saying that he was suffering from "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis" (ALS) and was threatened with death. After some ideological struggle, Mickey still went to see the long-lost teacher and started an appointment every Tuesday afternoon.
He made a list of topics and prepared to ask the professor for advice, hoping to get a true biography and guidance. He lists death, love, marriage, career, and has a tape recorder.
The professor shared his childhood past, the loss and gain of love. Sorry and sorry for my father. The professor said that people are often afraid of losing what they love, so they are afraid or unwilling to put in love and give love. We learn as much from hurting us as we do from loved ones, says professor. The professor said that without love, it is death. Although death ends life, it cannot interrupt feelings.
The professor gave himself a funeral, a joyous atmosphere rather than a sad tune. Although I experienced pain in the middle of the night, after the pain disappeared, I would always keep a positive and sunny enthusiasm and a kind smile to the people around me, that is to say, send positive energy to the surrounding. Pain is a matter of one person, because of courage and strength, let the body fight against the pain, the spirit is always healthy, and the energy is always fresh.
Mitch came to the professor's house at first, and was entangled and coerced by his work. The phone rang frequently, making it impossible for him to talk to the professor calmly. Later, he began to learn how to help teach massage, prepare oxygen like others, and he began to act and serve of love, not just bystander, which was also a way of saying goodbye.
Mickey made up his mind to talk to Jenny, and after being rejected, he said to the professor very unconvinced, if love always wins, then how can I explain the ineffectiveness of my efforts. The professor said, do it again. Many people think that their actions of love must have good results, and it is best to try them out. People with this concept care too much about the results, and hope that the plants of love can grow quickly and bear fruit once they are irrigated. , but forget that it also needs sunlight and moisture, rather than overnight, this is probably the thinking fallacy of many people. As a result, if a careful design fails, it is questioned and given up. The resistance to setbacks is obviously weak. It is absolutely impossible to face failure with a positive attitude and avoid responsibility. Failure is not to actively try to strive for the next success, but to question the motto about love. It is just irresponsible to draw conclusions and make judgments prematurely.
Professor Murray's explanation of how to live is where the film shines.
The professor said, put a bird on your shoulder and ask it every day, is today my end? Am I ready to die? Am I living the life I want? Am I becoming who I want to be? Our lives would be very different if we could realize that we could die at any time.
Because life is limited, priority is given to priorities. But life seems to be so long that it is hard for us to see the end all of a sudden, death is too far away from us, and it has not reached the moment of last resort, so many people often forget to do those things that are really important to them. If life is only one year, how will the 365 days in the world live? It is estimated that many people will reorganize their thoughts and do those important things that must be done before death. Because of the deadline, the time seems to be pressing, so it is easier to make up your mind to overcome all difficulties, and the execution force has become stronger. If you treat every year as the last year of your life and every day as the last day of your life, wouldn’t the quality of your life improve a lot, and every day will be meaningful and fulfilling?
