(Late) Tuesday With Morrie

We watched the movie "Tuesdays with Morrie" in sociology and learned a lot about culture and what American values mean to us. In the movies, Mitch valued work for success. He liked being successful and that is all he wanted to achieve in the end. But as the movie went on, he realized he wasn't very happy with the life he was living. I don't really agree that to be happy you have to succeed in everything you do and earn the most money by working. You may be the richest man in the world but if you aren't happy with your life, you're not only the richest you are the poorest. Many students in high school think the same way. To be successful you have to go through a lot of work to achieve our goal. But success that Americans value is different that what others value. My parents and I view success as achieving a goal and being happy with it. It's different for everyone though.
