A day in my life without electricity

A day in my life without electricity. I'd probably cry. Firstly, I would not be able to use my computer, because, my computer would not be able to work without electricity. Then, I would not be able to watch television, because that uses, electricity too. I would also be very cold in the winter, and very hot in the summer because the heater and air conditioners would not work without electricity. It would also be incredibly dark during nighttime, because as you guessed it, lights need electricity to work. Then, I would also not be able to use the microwave, as it requires electricity. But, at least I will be able to play soccer. So there is a bright side to this.

Learn how to die, and you learn how to live.

This is possibly one of the best sayings in the book. It captures the entire book in one phrase. It is true, because if you learned how to die, and you accept the fact that you will have to die one day, then you will realize, that you will be able to live life to the fullest.In the book, Morrie knows that his days are numbered, and that he will die in several months. However, in that several months, he did things, that most people don't do their entire lives. He talked to old friends, and slowed down life, to understand what life truly means and what was the purpose of life. He also did something that very few people have done. He said good-bye, and he showed that he loved everyone. Before he died, he imparted as much knowledge as possible to Mitch, like a teacher teaching the class before the class ended.

Don't assume it is too late to be involved in something...

I think this is a great aphorism. This is because this aphorism is so useful. Just this week, I have proved this aphorism right. I learned that it is never too late to ask for help, and that its better late then never. I think that this aphorism would have been so helpful in my life so far. Once, when I was in grade 5, I did not do one of my homework, and the teacher told me that I could still do it, and that I could learn something. I gave him the lame excuse, that it was too late, and that there was no point in doing it. On week later, one of the questions in the final test, was from the homework. My friends got the question right, but I got it wrong. As it turned out, the two points from that question, was the difference between a B and a A. Many other times, I gave the excuse, that it is too late to do something, just because it is too late. But when I look back, I realized, that it is never too late.

Be hopeful, but not foolishly hopeful. I think that this is a good aphorism, because if you are hopeful, then life feels much better, because you also feel more optimistic, and more happier. However, if you are too hopeful, then you will expect things that are nearly impossible, and then when you don't get it, you become miserable. I myself, have witnessed and experienced this before. Sometimes, I set the expectations so high, that when they do not happen, I become hopelessly miserable. I also tend to be sad for several days after that. But when I set the expectations to a possible amount, I am satisfied with what I get.  This shows that when you do not hope for too much, then we will not be too greedy. I think that this is important.
