Over the course of the book, Morrie taught me many things but the most important thing that he taught me was to accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Morrie accepts that he can't walk and is no longer able to dance like he used to to. But, Morrie also accepts that he can still talk and that he also has many people that come to visit just him. This lesson also teaches me to be grateful for what I have and to not envy what I don't have. I also think that this lesson applies to treating others. You have to accept that some people don't have everything that you have. To accept yourself means to see our perfections as much as our imperfections.
