Today, I happen to watch Tuesdays With Morries film in one of my lessons. It is a very touching real-life story. If u get the opportunity, this is a film that u should not miss. This film is basically about a young guy named Mitch who meet his ‘going to die’ coach every tuesdays to discuss on life issues such as love, marriage, death etc. This film touches the nerve of mine. It sends my mind thinking about a lot of issues in life. I learned several things and I am going to share it in here.

1)To Live is to learn to die
This quote is repeated throughout the film and I think it’s right. When we learn to talk about death and face that we are going to die one day, we learn to live our life meaningfully as if each day is hard to come by. Why do i say so? In our daily life, when we have a dying relative or friend we do not talk about death when we visit them. Both of us just cant face the reality that we r going to part.

2)Learn to love or die
When we are living, we should learn to love others and not to keep receiving love from others without giving. The one who gives love will find love even more meaningful and fulfilling.

3) Live with no regrets
One that i always live up to till now. I try to clear out any misunderstandings in relationships so that i wont regret.

4) Do not be put off by fearAll the ‘buts’ in our heads is stopping us from putting thinking into action. Wonder if one day, there is no ‘buts’ in your head and u carry out the action, will u be much happier than u are now?For example in expressing your love for your partner etc. One thing i know is if we put our thinking into action, we will always get results. Results may not be the one u expect or want but at least it is feedback and u learn from it than u did nothing.

For people out there who learned or knew about choice theory, this film is basically a must watch film. It features exactly what choice theory means to the extend that dying is a choice. In fact, in everything we do it is a choice. For example, when we are angry, we choose to react in this way. Our behaviour is a reflection of our choice.
