Life !

Yesterday read a book named "Tuesdays with Morrie". Its a story of a Professor of sociology- Morrie Schawrtz. it illustrates one of his quotes "you learn to how to live Only when you learn how to die".
i will write in detail abt this book sometime later and listing some of his thought provoking sentences....
  • Dont run away from emotions, let the emotions and feelings penetrate you fully but learn to detach yourself from all the emotions and feelings.
  • Try to give others as Adult (using full of your ability) and try to take as child (innocence).
  • Have a clear understanding between "What you want ? " and "What you need ? "
    (satisfaction is the main point here)
I discovered while reading that these were the points on which i am thinking for quite some time now . off course i couldnt have put the points into words such precisely ! :)

Example: Being Detached from emotions !
This is relevant for the following case..Some times we hesitate to do certain things when we are not sure about how we will handle the emotions/feelings due to it..We r afraid that those particular e/f will take over us and we wud lose the internal locus of control..
In my case, i gnrly am not sure to what extent i shud get mixed with other people(being with them is contradictory to my personal goals/thinking)..i am afraid that being lot of time with these people will effect my thinking.. n i wud get deviated from my thinking lines..
