To start with is another film recommendation: Tuesdays with Morrie. I had never heard of the film before yet it turned out to be full of common sense & good life lessons. Definitely a must see.
Some memorable quotes include:
"We...need to forgive ourselves...For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened."
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're 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."
"When you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
"In the beginning of life, when we were infants, we need others to survive, right? And at the end of life, when you get like me, you need others to survive, right? But here's the secret: in between, we need others as well."
"What's wrong with being number two?"
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
