What if today were the last day on earth?

I have continued three days to go back my dorm after midnight for learning experiments from a senior brother who is not the same major as me. He was really very kind and permitted me to see his manipulation on experiments secretly, and gave me chances to perform part of his experiment last Friday. Therefore, the passed week was really busy, and I felt extremely tired.

My supervisor asked me buy a book to present her friend’s child as a gift. So, I went to the biggest bookshop called “Book Center” in Guangzhou this afternoon, though it rained heavily at that moment.

I read nearly three hours at that book center, and mainly read a book called “Tuesday with Morrie” which was extremely famous and impressed a large number of people several years ago, and its Chinese name is 《相约星期二》. I can read this English version comparably quickly, because I understand the contents of Chinese version well before. I still remembered that I cried when I first read the dialogue “You talk, and I will listen” when I was in senior school. Professor Morrie told his student Mitch that Mitch could go to Morrie’s cemetery to talk to Morrie after Morrie died, and at that moment Morrie would transfer his role to be a listener.

During the fourteen Tuesdays, professor Morrie told a variety of topics of life to his student, including death, emotion, marriage, age, culture and so on. Morrie told his student his true feeling of dying, and taught the student to understand the meaning of life deeply. He said that "once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." Morrie promised that he could forgive anybody in the world when he knew that his time was limited.

While, the most impressive saying which Morrie said was “What if today were the last day on earth?” I like this saying very much, because it always brings me the calm attitude to somebody or something. As long as I think of my life is only a short time, I can understand a lot of things objectively, and can forgive any people who once hurt me.

“What if today were the last day on earth?” I would tell anyone I recognized that I love them (including my ex-BF), and hug them closely.

How about you?
