Bernhard Schlink's "The Reader".

Life is a lesson built up of the experiences one encounters and the challenges they face. One begins as a newborn and from the moment of reasonable understanding their life is what they make it to be. In order for one to grow one must experience life as the days flow forward, so not to place themselves in another's shoes and miss an experience because of it. There is a reason why people organize others …

…they are in the future. One must live their life as it comes, live on the edge but not over it. Take chances and challenges but not crazed dares. One must live in their generation in order to progress. Living in the past slows one down, living in the future skips ones lesson, and living in the present is the only way to succeed. Don't let time move faster then it is...Live your life.
