Tuesday's With Morrie
This week in class we watched the movie Tuesdays With Morrie. It is about a dying man and his former student Mitch. Mitch hears Morrie is dying and decides to visit him one last time before he dies. At first Mitch doesn't take much time to visit as he is constantly caught up with work and is always trying to make his deadlines. Morrie teaches him an important lesson - You need to learn to die before you can live. He expresses that Mitch's busy lifestyle may be making him a lot of money but if he isn't happy he questions him whether or not its worth it. I think this is a valuable lesson for us all because we are all so stressed about school, college, work, etc. While these are important those are only pebbles in our life our rocks or foundations of are life (family, friends, and health) are far more important and we need to focus the majority of our time on the rocks. I believe if we all make more time for our rocks we will live much happier lives.

I agree with you a lot of people just do too many rhings at once that they dont have time for their family.
ReplyDeleteI like how you incorporated the rocks and pebbles with the movie. We should focus more on the big things in life (rocks) such as family and friends, instead of the tiny pebbles (money).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you most people are obsessed with money and we should focus more on our family and friends.
