Tuesdays With Morrie-Work

I think that Mitch puts work too high up in his list of priorities. Yes, work is an important part of survival in life because working leads to money, but it shouldn't be everything. In America people are too focused on work to slow down and smell the roses. We try to do so much that life just slips away and we miss out on the things that are actually worth living for, like love, family, and hobbies. Mitch put work above all else before he started to realize that Jenine and Morrie were people that were more important to him than any report could ever be. It is not true for my parents, I think that with my dads job going from March to October every year he is able to spend the entire months of the winter focused on just our family and my mom doesn't even work. I feel that the "workaholic" syndrome does start in high school with those students who are so concerned with grades and homework that they have no time for a social life or trying out hobbies that make themselves happy. We can all succeed in something different and that doesn't have to be in the working world. Success is based on whatever makes you feel happy personally and that should be all that matters.
