In Mitch Albom’s novel Tuesdays With Morrie‚ is that in order to fully appreciate and experience the past‚ it is important for a person to focus on what is happening in the present.

Morrie talks a lot about being young‚ and how it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. “I know what a misery being young can be‚ so don’t tell me it’s so great.” (Albom 117) What Morrie means by this is even though there are a few good things about being young‚ he believes that there are more disappointments than there are excitements.
