He made a fist.
"Why? Because a baby, not knowing any better, wants to grab everything, to say, 'The whole world is mine.'
"But when an old person dies, how does he do so? With his hands open. Why? Because he has learned the lesson."
What lesson? I asked.
He stretched open his empty fingers.
"We can take nothing with us."
Have A Little Faith, Happiness- Mitch Albom.
And today, I bought a second book. Just couldn't resist and fight the temptation because it was 13 dollars- orignally, approximately 17 dollars.
"Have a Little Faith is a book about a life’s purpose; about losing belief and finding it again; about the divine spark inside us all. It is one man’s journey, but it is everyone’s story." I shall save this book for "Post-promos" activity.
When I read "For One More Day" today, I started tearing somehow. HAHAHA! (WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING GEOGRAPHY)
Just can't bring myself to stop reading these books. Bought the first book with the Borders card and this one, I bought it using NETS.. So I guess, I'll have some explaining to do some time later...
School was rather empty today, and because it was empty, nothing really interesting happened? Couldn't decide if I should spend money on another book or to just, go home straight. Saw 961 but eventually, decided to make my way down to Orchard, Borders. Without hesitation, I took the book because I knew it'll make good company. :)) So farrrr, I've got Tuesdays With Morrie, For One More Day and Have A Little Faith. NEXT ON THE LIST will be "5 People You Meet In Heaven". I think that's like the second book but ohhh well, shall get that on my birthday then I'll have like one collection of Mitch Albom's. Books like these are worth buying and worth the space on my shelf. For now, the "shelf" is in the storeroom. BUT WHEN I GET TO MY NEW PLACE, I'll display them, alongside some other books I bought last time. Time to get book wrappers! Can't afford to get them dirty/folded/any of the slightest damage.
Recently, I found out I've got Wii at home. THIS JUST SHOWS how long I haven't actually sat in the living room, to just chill and watch TV. Oh welllll~
