Done
reading “The five people you meet in heaven” by Mitch Albom, I bought through (net) e-books
1yr and 2mos ago, I’ve been VERY busy (naks) these past months hadn’t find time
to read, thanks to my email for storing this e-book. I started this while watching ASAP 2012 (two
at a time) of course I couldn’t missed the much awaited production of my Idol,
Sarah G , so there.. reading while
watching *oki, mostly just listening =)
I’m
always curious about life after death, or there is really life after
death? Do people reincarnate after
death? Maybe I am bound to believe, HAHA
having always the same dream, “I can fly WITHOUT wings” so what am I in past
life? Bird? (puede) or Vampire?? HAHAHAHAHA HOW I WISH! They can’t fly but they
can move faster than usual (in movies and TVD series). So much of me, here’s why I chose this book,
seeking an answer to my questions. Maybe
I can find it here or another life lesson to learn (through books).

=)))))))
FIRST LESSON
“That
there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more
separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.”
“Fairness, does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die
young.”
There
is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of
a whole.
“Strangers”
are just family you have yet to come to know.
“No
life is a waste,” “The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are
alone.”
SECOND LESSON
“Dying?
Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only
the beginning.”
Sacrifice
is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret.
It’s something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices.
Lost
life. "Sometimes when you sacrifice
something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to
someone else.”
THIRD LESSON
You
have peace, when you make it to yourself.
“Things
that happen before you are born still affect you,” she said. “And people who
come before your time affect you as well."
“We
move through places every day that would never have been if not for those who
came before us. Our workplaces, where we spend so much time—we often think they
began with our arrival. That’s not true.”
“Learn
this from me. 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."
"No
one is born with anger. And when we die, the soul is freed of it. But now,
here, in order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did, and
why you no longer need to feel it.”
FOURTH LESSON
“Lost
love is still love, Eddie. It takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see
their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance
floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes
your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.”
“Life
has to end,” she said. “Love doesn't"
THE LAST LESSON
“Not
her hands,” she said. “My hands. I bring you to heaven. Keep you
safe.” – Tala to Eddie.
