The Time Keeper



Pada menanti itu, aku kira, ada banyak hikmah yang sering dek ketidaksabaran kita malas mahu pertimbang. Kali pertama aku jumpa buku ni, harganya lebih RM70. Mula-mula main grab sahaja, for the interest in Mitch Albom's writing. Sekali nampak price, aku terus letak balik kat shelf hoping bila-bila nanti boleh jumpa lagi buku ni dalam keadaan harganya lebih sesuai dengan status kewangan aku. So, the day did came. Found it couple of days back at the same bookstore and the price is nearly half of the price I first saw. Lagi menarik, boleh dapat 50% off untuk second book yang dibeli together with this book. Alhamdulillah.

It is indeed a wonderful piece written about time. I found myself sticking the stick-able bookmarks on a number of pages where great quotes lie. I shall say it's fictionally very realistic and relate-able.


10 quotes to share from The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom :


#1 "Please let me die. I have no wish to go on."

     "The length of your days does not belong to you. You will learn that as well."

#2 ...that holding on to things will only break your heart.

#3 But man invents nothing God did not create first.

#4 It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be.

#5 We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.

#6 ...letting go was natural, embracing God's will

#7 You grab a moment, or you let it pass.

#8 "You had many more years"

      "I didn't want them."

      "But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an
       answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future."

       "What's that?"

       "Hope."

#9 Fates are connected in ways we don't understand.




and




#10 "There is a reason God limits our days."

      "Why?"

      "To make each one precious."


Dalam perjalanan menuju abadi ini,
moga setiap detik umur kita diberkati.
