Morrie's Wisdom

For this assignment, choose 1 quote from your quote journal to post on this blog. Write the quote at the top of your response to this post and then write your reaction to that quote -or- find someone who wrote about the same quote as you and respond to that person's post.

*2 points extra credit - Respond to one of your classmates' postings (in addition to your own)

Example:
"As you grow, you learn more, if you stayed twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay you know, it's growth" (Albom, 118).

I like this quote because I agree with Morrie that each year I grow older, I learn a little bit more about myself and what I want out of life. I still don't have it all figured out, but I have more "peace of mind" than I did at 18 or 21. This doesn't mean I'm looking forward to wrinkles and broken hip bones, but I am looking forward to the wisdom that comes with old age. ~Ms. S.
