About This Quote

This is one of the best quotes in the world. Morrie Schwartz was a professor of psychology at Brandeis University. The students loved him. He inspired them to think deeply and helped them become more proactive in their lives.

Morrie had an unusual way of teaching his classes. He would ask the students to reflect back on things that they did right in their lives. Then, he'd ask them to reflect on things they'd done wrong.

Finally, he would ask them to write down three times they were grateful for each thing. And, Morrie would make it clear that they should be grateful for what they got, not what they didn't get.
