《最後14堂星期二的課》（ Tuesdays with Morrie）
只要學會死亡，你就學會了活著
美國作家米奇·艾爾邦的長篇小說
是一套根據真人真事而改編的小說
原著於1997年出版，1999年被改編成電影
故事講述一個人在職場上打拚
在電視上看到他最敬愛的大學教授患了不治之症
不久於人世，記起了當年的恩典，
希望能夠在老師有生之年能夠好好交談
書中的老教授墨瑞．史瓦茲(Morrie Schwartz)
罹患的是一種叫「葛雷克氏症」
（ALS）的病跟著名物理學家霍金患的一樣
它會令患者肌肉由下至上逐漸萎縮
最後像靈魂被封印在軀殼內一樣，全身都不能動，但神智卻非常清醒。
在教授墨瑞最後的三個多月裡，米奇（Mitch）每逢星期二
便會到教授家去討論一些人生會遇到的困難及疑惑
這堂課很短，但涵蓋許多課目
愛、工作、家庭、年老、寬恕…以及最後的「死亡」
這是一堂探索生命的課，也是永無止盡的尋寶之旅
第一次見到這本書時
是兒子赴美入學前、暑期先預讀的六本書之一
也是美國學生必讀的一本小說
如果；恐懼英文的對白
可以到我的DROPBOX 下載繁體中文版、用KMPLAYER 播放
先看一遍、再試著看下列原劇
你會發現、看懂英文電影並非難事
有些道理並非看了，聽過就會懂
往往需要經過年紀的增長，環境的變遷
人，事的異動...才能理解
簡單的說:
生了小孩，才知道當爸爸的辛苦

Quotes From "Tuesdays With Morrie"
The truth is
“ once you learn how to die, you learn how to live”
“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
“Accept who you are; and revel in it.”
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel."
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing the wrong things.
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to creating something
that gives you purpose and meaning."
“Life is a series of pulls back and forth...
A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band.
Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win?
Love wins. Love always wins”
“You see, 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.”
