Rossi’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates

The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates by Wes Moore

1 note & 1 highlight

“When it is time for you to leave this school, leave your job, or even leave this earth, you make sure you have worked hard to make sure it mattered you were ever here.”

This quote summarizes what it means to be human in my eyes. I find it fascinating how certain messages find us at just the right moment in life. A dear friend of mine just transitioned to hospice care, and this quote reminded me of the wonderful life he's lived. What life is worth living if you dont leave the world and the people you meet a little bit better than they were when you first found them?

Rossi’s Quotes

“It made me think deeply about the way privilege and preference work in the world, and how many kids who didn’t have “luck” like mine in this instance would find themselves forever outside the ring of power and prestige.”

“Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices. A mother works so her son can go to school. A daughter moves home to take care of her sick father.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven
