Both of these works of literature have shown ways to live and enjoy life with no stress. Clearly, these brilliant authors had the same idea in their mind when writing these pieces of intellect.

Text to World

Mitch Albom’s story “Five People You Meet in Heaven” teach very important lessons. The first one it teaches is that there are no coincidences or random events in life and that everybody is connected in some way. Importance of people’s willingness to make sacrifices for others is the 2nd lesson Eddie learns in his journey through Heaven. The 3rd lesson is that no man big or small should hold in anger and should just let to let go. Eddie then learns that love is never lost through death, love endures. The 5th and final lesson that Eddie learns is that every person’s life has a purpose and that his was to keep kids safe at Ruby Pier. Truthfully, these lessons are very simple and easy to follow and they should be learned and applied in everyday life so that people can live happier and more grateful of what they possess. “Five People You Meet in Heaven” is a meritorious book by Mitch Albom who sounds like a total elocutionist on paper.
