1) “The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”

2) “You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And age is not a competitive issue.”

3)“Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.”

4) “Every society has its own problems, The way to do it, I think, isn’t to run away. You have to work at creating your own culture.”

*all answers will be greatly appreciated =) Also if it helps, these quotes were from the novel Tuesday's with Morrie.

Thank you very much

  1. 1) When you die, you get into the afterlife.

    3)do what it takes from your heart. work hard.

    4)every society has their own cliques, groups, racism. you have to work by yourself in creating your own image.


  2. is this your homework? i think this is considered cheating

  3. 1) “The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”***ONCE YOU HAVE OVERCOME THE FEAR OF DYING, AND LEARN HOW TO DO SO WITH DIGNITY, YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH DIGNITY AND WITHOUT FEAR.

    2) “You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And age is not a competitive issue.” ****LOOKING FOR ARISTOTLE'S GOALS IN YOUR OWN LIFE IS ALL THAT MATTERS. YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE HAND YOU ARE DEALT AND WHAT YOU DO WITH THAT HAND DETERMINES YOUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE, NOT COMPARING YOURSELF WITH SOMEONE ELSE. LOOKING BACK ON YOUR LIFE SHOWS YOU HOW TO CONTINUE OR BECOME BETTER, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR CURRENT AGE.

    3)“Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.” ****DON'T LOOK TO OTHERS FOR WHAT IS IMPORTANT. EACH PERSON HAS PRIORITIES THAT BELONG TO HERSELF AND THESE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT SHOULD COUNT. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU'LL BE AS HAPPY AS YOU CAN BE AND HAPPIER THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO DON'T DO THIS.

    4) “Every society has its own problems, The way to do it, I think, isn’t to run away. You have to work at creating your own culture.” ***EACH CIRCUMSTANCE IS DIFFERENT AND INDIVIDUAL AND EACH PERSON'S PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES UNIQUE TO HER AND SHE SHOULD DEVELOP HER OWN WAYS OF DEALING WITH EACH.
