I am currently reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. It's brilliant book I tell you.
I have heard alot about this book before I started reading. My incharge recommended me this book. Some of my classmates mention about this book. I've seen the book on the shelves of book stores. And finally, I managed to get my hands on the book. Thanks to Christina!
Basically, this book talks about a man called Eddie. First few chapters were on how he died. Very interesting way to start a story. How many novels actually start with the protaganist dying? haha. Then, it talks about the 5 people that he meet in heaven. All the 5 people were people that had made an impact on Eddie's life but Eddie don't know some of them.
The book has alot on life philosophies that really set me thinkin.
"Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be. It is not something to regret. It's something to aspire to... Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you are not losing it. You are just passing it on to someone else."
ISN'T IT SO INSPIRATIONALLLLLLL!!!!!!!! I burst into tears after reading this. This was taken from the part when Eddie met the 2nd person in heaven.
Just because of this timy little paragraph, I've decided to sponsor my brother erm.. $5 for his beng-ish (has a dragon on it k!) adidas cap that he really likes alot. He has been pestering me to sponsor him since 2 days ago and I was reluctant cos Im really broke and I still have to buy books and eat! $5 may not be alot la but can eat one meal ma.
However, today when I bought the cap for him, I decided to sponsor him! See! Just because of that paragraph! I can just skip one meal and make my brother happy right? If he's happy as a sister I'll be happy right? The most I'll just lose weight right? Weee! Im enlightened!
Dammit. My brother actually got his braces. NOTT FAIIIRRRR! Sobz.
Here's another one.
"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the 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 ourself."
So peeps, please do not hate or get angry so often. It will HARM you!
Think about it. =D
I have yet to finish the book. Left with the fifth person. Oh no! Im dyin to finish ittt! Definitely going to buy the book after i got my pay. Also I wanna read Tuesday with Morris by the same author. Who has it? LEND IT TOO MEEEE!!!
