"there r a few rules I know to b true abt love n marriage: If u don't respect the other person, u're gonna haf a lot of trouble. If u don't know how to compromise, u're gonna have a lot of trouble. If u can't talk openly abt what goes on between u, u're gonna haf a lot of trouble. N if u don't haf a common set of values in life, u're gonna haf a lot of trouble. Ur values must b alike. And the biggest one of those values, Mitch?"
yes?
"Ur belief in the importance of ur marriage."
He sniffed, den closed his eyes for a moment.
"Personally," he sighed, his eyes still closed, "I think marriage is a very impt thing to do, n u're missing a hell of a lot if u dun try it."
Maybe it might b early but i thought it's nice.

It is 1979, a basketball game in the Brandeis gym. The team is doing well, n the student section begins a chant, "We're no.1! We're no.1!" Morrie is sitting nearby. He is puzzled by the cheer. At one pt, in the midst of "We're no.1!" he rises and yells, "What's wrong with being no.2?"
The students look at him. They stop chanting. He sits down, smiling and triumphant.

I like this part. Wat IS wrong wif it? Y the mad rush? Y the mad competition? Y the scramble to be the best?

lesson for day 7: Don't switch on the computer. I don't want to leave, can't bear to leave.
