Trust

"You see," he says to the girl, "you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Devotion

"Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Relationship

"Still," he said, "there are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Shortsighted

"Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become. But if you're surrounded by people who say `I want mine now,' you end up with a few people with everything and a military to keep the poor ones from rising up and stealing it." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Accepting & Forgiving

"Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do"; "Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it"; "Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others"; "Don't assume that it's too late to get involved." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Meaning Of Life

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Patience

Patience, not just saying it, but experiencing it.

Limitation

There is a limit to how much one can give. There comes a time when one would want something back in return.

Going All Out

Risk it as though you have nothing to lose.

Have, Not

You got to have before you can give. Yet not all who have would give.

Release Me

I have had enough. Set me free. Please.

No Coverage?

Wait, you said, "There is no coverage here."? When was the last time you picked up the phone when there was any?

Something Done

Do it if it feels right. Think not of the returns for there might be none. Be happy that at least something has been done.

Share

To share not to convert. Don't get agitated over it. No one has to listen to you. Just listen. No one wants to feel stupid.

Be Humble

You are not as great as you think. Its the people around you that makes you who you are.

Anger

"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves." - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

Sacrifice

"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else." - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

A Waste

"No life is a waste," the Blue Man said. "The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone." - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

Stranger

"Strangers," the Blue Man said, "are just family you have yet to come to know." - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

Overwhelmed

I can tell just by looking that you have an overwhelming amout of bargaining power. I don't know how am i suppose to handle this.

Annoyed

How could I not feel annoyed? How would you feel if it were to happen to you instead? This is not deja vu. It is more terrifying than that. I am experiencing the same emotions all over again, and it annoys me a lot. Why is history repeating itself? What have i done wrong this time?

I Have Nothing

How do I not feel intimidated if you have not frightened me? How do I not feel incompetant if you have not questioned my achievement? How do I not feel insecure if you have no trust in me?

Weary

All that I have done, all that I have given, all that I have shared, was it worth the effort put in? Well, yes I suppose. I am just some what weary and helpless over what had happened and all that I have no control over.

Truth

It's sad that things have to end this way. Let's leave it as it is. You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to give me reasons/excuses. I'd rather not know why. I don't think I can really face the truth.

Reason vs Excuse

A sound reason might be just another excuse for not doing what one is suppose to do.

Say

Say what you want to say, ask what you want to ask.

I Do Mind

I do mind, eventhough on normal circumstances, I have said l don't. It's not like things would change for the better or be undone, if I let you know how I actually feel.

Comparison

Stop comparing and you would be less envious of others. You might live and feel better that way. You might even see things differently.

Fairness

It would be best that I do not know what deeds you have done before, let it be good or bad. To know, would definitely fog my impression of you, even before knowing you. That would be very much unfair to you.

Hurt

I do mind what has been done to me. How could I not? Yet, what can I do about it other than to accept it?

Love and be Loved, Not

Love and to be loved, that's all that I ask of you.

Say All I Want

I can say all I want when it concerns me not. I can say all I want when it does not hurt. I can say all I want when i am not the one going through the hard times. It would be something else when it is happening to me.

No Point

What is there left if there is no love? What is the point of going on when you don't want to give anymore? What is the point of going on when you don't need me anymore?

Like Air

As though it's not there, yet I feel it. As though it's there, yet I don't feel it. Well, I am not sure if it's there or not.
