Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is a touching memoir that recounts the author's weekly visits with his former college professor, Morrie Schwartz, who is dying from ALS. Each Tuesday, they discuss important topics such as love, work, death, family, and the meaning of life.

What impacted me the most was Morrie’s positive outlook on life despite his illness. His wisdom, warmth, and honesty made me reflect on my own values. One of the most memorable quotes was: "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." It reminded me not to take time or relationships for granted.

Through this book, I learned that true happiness does not come from wealth or success, but from human connection, kindness, and living with purpose. Morrie’s courage in facing death inspired me to live more intentionally and to appreciate the present moment.

This book is not just about dying—it’s about how to live.

🎬 Film Reflection: "Dead Poets Society"

Dead Poets Society is a powerful film set in a conservative boys’ school, where a new English teacher, Mr. Keating, encourages his students to think for themselves, appreciate poetry, and “seize the day.”

What moved me deeply was how Mr. Keating inspired the students to break free from expectations and discover their own voices. His teaching methods were unorthodox, but full of passion and meaning. The most unforgettable scene was when the students stand on their desks and say, “O Captain! My Captain!”—a powerful tribute to their teacher.

The film made me reflect on the importance of self-expression, critical thinking, and standing up for what you believe in. It also highlighted the pressures young people face from family and society.

After watching the movie, I felt encouraged to live more boldly, to value creativity, and to never lose my curiosity.
