The Tuesday that has inspired me most is the third one. In this Tuesday, Morrie and Mitch talk about regret. Mitch asks Morrie if he regrets kept secrets, or lamented lost friends. Morrie replies by saying that most don't think about these types of questions until they really believe they'll die. People are caught in the cycle of daily routine so much that they don't think about regret or questioning their actions. He thinks that people should "get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, is this all. Is this all I want? Is something missing?" This inspires me because I feel that I should take this piece of Morrie's advice. I should look at my life almost daily and think about what I'm missing. How do I want my life to be and what must I do to get the life I'm comfortable with? Morrie later talks of asking yourself if today could be the day you die. Using Morrie's advice, I could live the way I want since I could die anyday.
The topic of living life the way you want to before you die is an important topic because you'd live life unhappily otherwise. People also don't think about living life fully until they know when they'll die. Like Morrie said, "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." When you think of the possibility of dying at anytime, you start to actually live. Everyone has an image of what they want their lives to like so they may as well try to make the image a reality. Why not do so before time runs out, which can be the moment you finish reading this.
