What are some ways that Mitch values hard work, achievement, success? Is this true for you or your parents? Does this start in high school or even sooner? What ways? Is it possible to obtain a different type of success?
In the beginning of the movie, all Mitch cared about was his success in his career. He cared about it so much that he didn't leave enough room to care about his girlfriend, Jeanine, who needed him to be there for her. Not until he started talking to Morrie did he realize that life is so short, you have to really spend all of your effort caring about the things that make you happy, like love, over work. Apparently it takes you until you're that old to realize what you should have cherished while you still had it, but Mitch was lucky enough to have Morrie there when he needed him the most. When he had lost sight of what was really important in life, Morrie put everything back in perspective. I haven't seen the end of the movie yet, but I assume Mitch and Jeanine end up getting married, which proves that you can find real success outside of work. The success Mitch obtains is in love, which, without Morrie, Mitch wouldn't have realized is really the only thing that matters.
