Remembering Everybody


I always wanted to watch tuesdays with morrie. Last night, I finally saw the movie at youtube. The movie and the book which i read when i was still in college moved me to tears. Its a heartfelt story. One memorable scene that i like is:

Mitch:  
It’s not just Morrie. I haven’t kept in touch with anybody from college. The reunions, the mail…Who’s got time for that stuff?

Janine:
Well, I wish I had a teacher like that.

Mitch:  
No, he was more than just a teacher. He was… what… like a force. At this basketball game once, we were all chanting . . . "We’re number one! We’re number one," right? So I see Morrie a couple rows down, he’s eyeing us, he’s giving us all this look. All of a sudden he stands up and says… "What’s wrong with being number two?" He actually wanted to discuss that right in the middle of the game. Made a really big difference in my life, and I never even thanked him.
     
This scene reminded me of the moments i had with everybody from classmates, friends, colleagues, relatives, family or even strangers especially the ones who went ahead because all of them made a difference in my life. It may not be as profound as what Mitch had experienced but regardless of their impact on my life, everybody truly made a difference in me. Ii am grateful to have known people like them, people like Morrie.
