Interesting quotes in Tuesdays with Morrie -Part I-

I had read through half of the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It is an interesting book. I find the following quotes are indeed captivating.

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when the are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."- which i think is very true. If we are chasing the wrong things in life, we will end up having nothing in our lives after tonnes of effort had been poured out.

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture does not work, do not buy it."-this is another strong point here. We always tend to follow whatever that the majority is doing, without rationalize the objective behind. We have to be brave to say "NO" to things that we are against with but not following those wrong concepts blindly.
