Mitch Albom: Tuesdays with Morrie |
There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don`t respect the other person, you`re gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don`t know how to compromise, you`re gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can`t talk openly about what goes on between you, you`re gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don`t have a common set of values in life, you`re gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.
Morrie Schwartz(quoted)
The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We`re teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn`t work, don`t buy it. Create your own. Most people can`t do it.
