Don T Disagree With Author Ralph Waldo Emerson

This was the battle started with the “shot heard ‘round the world” as Ralph Waldo Emerson observed.

This also applys when we want to tryout for a sport. The high school softball team is having tryouts next week, the coach is looking to create a team that is willing to learn more than they already know, to try to help them grow together as a team. The high school senior does not like to learn new things, because she believes that she is the best. The softball coach is looking for someone that will help his team not only win, but learn more each year. Therefore, the junior that tried out, will be chosen over the senior. The junior knows that she will only grow from learning new things. On the other hand, some might believe that staying where they are at will help them grow. They say that when doing the same thing multiple times will help them learn from their mistakes and change the outcome. Therefore, this is also helping them grow. But if they are learning from their mistakes, are they not doing more than they already know? This is why learning new things, and changing the way we look at different outcomes will help us grow. Emerson was right, if we as students learn to do more than we have already mastered we will grow

"In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, - no disgrace, no calamity (leaving me my eyes), which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, - my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, - all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God."

I have to disagree with Ralph Emerson's quote witch states "unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow."(Ralph, Waldo Emerson).In todays medical filed there are thoses who are trained specialist that have masteredthere specifi medical filed and only focus on that medical filed as a profession and nothing else. another example is in our society. There are those who mastered a certain skill and are able to make a living off of it. In todays society there are some illness that a simple doctor can not treat, therefore we have trained specialist who have mastered a single medical filed to help teat those who are in need of there assistance. Say that you start to develop a rash, who would

Emerson's "transcendentalism" is essentially a romantic individualism, a philosophy of life for a new people who had overthrown their colonial governors and set about conquering a new continent, in hopes of establishing new and unique views. Though Emerson is not a traditional philosopher, the tendency of his thought is toward inward reflection in which soul and intuition, or inspiration, are fundamental. The new American needed less criticism and a rejuvenated sense of personal inspiration. Taking a practical and democratic, yet philosophic interest in all of nature and in individuals of every walk of life. Emerson stresses the potential for genius and creativity in all

During the Transcendentalist movement, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s famous quote in his booklet, Nature, gave a lot of insight on the identity of the human race. His quote, “A man is a god in ruins” indicates a sense of the “fallen” nature, and really emphasizes our faults and our limits, and many authors during this time person also seemed to follow this philosophy. In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s other work, Self-Reliance, he is also able to capture this same essence from text to text. In addition to Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville all follow the same philosophy in their own respective texts. The reader is able to see a common theme consistently throughout Self-Reliance, Economy (in Walden), The Artist of the Beautiful and Bartleby the Scrivener and Benito Cereno. Throughout each of these texts, the reader essentially focuses on how the nature of the human race focuses on how we are more than ordinary stone ruins, but we are lesser than Gods. The optimism of Emerson’s quote exploring the nature of the human person is depicted in their own way and different writing style throughout all of these different texts.

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated, “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” This statement proves to be correct in today’s society. The world is always making technological and educational advancements. Therefore, people should always take advantage of being able to learn and understand new concepts. Emerson’s statement is correct because people should challenge themselves into learning beyond what they already know because it expands them to new opportunities, gives them experience, and increases personal growth.

I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson that if you do not try something thing that you have not mastered then you will never grow. If you do not get out of your comfort zone you will never know what other things you can do in life or how much potential you have. First, I was going to take auto mechanics at btec cause I was already a mechanic before so I knew what to do I was just going to see if I could learn some new stuff. Then they decided to put me in the other class i singed up for which was welding and I have never welded in my life before. So I decided to stay in welding which was fun and now I am about to go into my third year of welding. So when they singed me up for welding I was scared cause I thought I was going to do terrible

As a world, people follow those who they can relate with. Humans are drawn to the

To be a conformist is to march to the beat of your own trumpet. In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote, he is saying that you will have a much better life if you are individualistic and do what makes you happy. A good example of this in today's culture is Miley Cyrus, she has most definitely done what make her happy for herself. Most people thought that Miley would continue as the girl she was in the show “Hannah Montana”, but that was just a character for her. Miley has done a lot of things that most people consider crazy, but she is doing what makes herself happy and not trying to please others.

Sixty percent of Americans quit something at one point in their lives. Of that sixty percent, forty percent quit because they thought they mastered their task. For someone to fully grow, he or she needs to strive past what they've mastered. People need to learn more about what they've mastered in order to fully grow. Someone who tries something beyond what he or she has mastered will grow because he or she will gain new knowledge, figure out what he or she is best at, and fully grow as an individual. Someone who attempts to learn beyond what he or she has mastered is able to acquire new knowledge. Scientists do this all the time by figuring out if a theory is true or false and then trying to see if they can learn even more about it.

Yes I do believe what Ralph Waldo Emerson said was true. What he meant by that saying is you will not succeed if you don't try things you have not tried or are good at. The reason I say this is because I always was good at sports but never at school. I could never play the sports i wanted because of it so I moved to this new school. When school started i had trouble but not for long because I asked the teachers for help and so they helped me understand my work before i left the room each day which bettered me. I had also heard about tutoring and went to that which helped me get good at school. I had a friend with the same problem but the other way round she was good at school but not at sports. So I told her to practice and she did for

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." This quote is a belief that your beliefs show innermost self. Emerson believes that your thoughts and ideas of the world reflect your true self. I agree that your mental outlook of the world is a representation of your real character. Regardless of whether or not you expressed those thoughts and ideas out loud, they still show your true colors. Opinions are just another way of showing the world who you really are. Your attitude on the certain topics and people, marks your stance on the world and show your true beliefs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson							I am writing this essay on the beliefs and thoughts of Ralph Waldo Emerson on the subjects of individuality, society, government, technology, and spirituality.

It is well known that China is one of the biggest countries in the world in terms of area which covers an area around 9.4 million square kilometers, and also has the most heavily populated countries in the world with a population of 1.4 billion ( continue to increase ) between the years of 1950 - 2015 ( Population Research Institute, Morse.A , Feb 18, 2015 ). China's population is concentrated in the urban areas because of the availability of modern and civilized life, such as Beijing, capital city with 130 million of china’s population, which become the largest city most populous in the world in the year 2015 ( Population Research Institute, Morse.A , Feb 18, 2015 ). The number of 1.4 billion become a scary number in term of population in one country like China because to compare with other world’s population it’s equivalent to 19.22% of the total world population ( Population Research Institute, Morse.A , Feb 18, 2015 ) .
