Tuesdays with Morrie

Aphorism Project ~ 50 points

Reading Tuesdays with Morrie offers insight into how to live a full life, being ever present with those you love and always pushing yourself to be more than what culture dictates. One way that Mitch Albom was able to offer these great lessons was through Morrie's aphorisms; most of Morrie's quotes apply to any person who is trying to live through all of life's ups and downs and needs a way to refocus on what is important.

Directions: Your task is to choose ONE of Morrie's aphorisms and show its application in the book through quotes and images and then take the quote and develop ways that it applies to your life as well.
