You Will Never Grow, By Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we go way back to 1879, we can take a look at one of the most iconic examples in history of how repeated attempts, or practices, if you will, led to one of the greatest inventions in history: the invention of the light bulb. This highly respected inventor, Thomas Edison, once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas Edison certainly had his extreme amounts of practice in while trying to develop the perfect concoction to complete the light bulb. It is estimated that he tried more than 3,000 different ways to invent the light bulb, before he found the one that worked. I don’t have exact numbers here, but I would say that he got in his 10,000 hours of practice. Instead of letting his mistakes hold him back, letting them drag him down, letting them cause him to quit, he used them to help get him where he wanted to be. He learned what he should and shouldn’t do each time, and with all this practice of trying to create a light bulb, he ends up inventing the same thing that caused him so many long and hard hours of practice. Another example of how the mistakes you can learn from and fix through practice to come out on top is the story of another Olympics gymnast known as Aly Raisman. In the

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson once sad " Unless you try something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow". On past experiences in my life I would agree with Emerson because one will never truly master something but people everyday have said people have mastered a sport or a instrument but everyday that person practices on that one thing all the time. Look at some great sports players like Messi or Stephen Curry both are spectacular at what they do. Messi was looked at by many people when he was young at not able to play due to how short and small he was. He started to practice on end to help him get to a point where a small soccer team picked him up and play for them at this point he wasn't done so he got even better and now competes with some of the other worlds best

“Never Shall I Forget” by Elie Wiesel and “We Remember Them” by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer are poems that have their similarities and differences. In the poem “Never Shall I Forget” Elie Wiesel describes the environment in the Holocaust and how we should never forget a tragic memory. In “We Remember Them” Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer talk about how we should remember our past. Even though the message in both poems are expressed differently there are some similarities and differences because in “Never Shall I Forget” Elie Wiesel expresses the poem in a dark tone because it was a tragic experience, while in “We Remember Them” Sylvan Kamens expresses the poem in a more light tone because he wants the readers to remember and honor our achievements in life.

For generations, mankind has talked of peace. It’s a subject that seemingly everyone wants, but no one can achieve. How is this? A common goal that cannot be achieved seems like a foreign idea, but as of now, it is reality. Could it be because it’s much easier to say than to accomplish? Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” This means that as the absence of light cannot help guide one journey through darkness, we cannot expect to continue to spread hate and, in turn, obtain peace. Humans as a whole should all pitch in to this goal of treating others well because everyone can use love, it is never clear what all someone is going through,

How does Ernest Hemingway develop the theme of self-governance in the short story A Way You’ll Never Be?

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.”. I think this quote is an explanation of a lot going on right now, and I will show that by using my own experiences as a guide. To grow even more you need to push past mastery. This could include sports, by pushing yourself even harder, and life by stepping out of your comfort zone.

Two poems titled “From the Dark Tower” by Countee Cullen and “As I Grew Older” by Langston Hughes. Both of these poems came from the Harlem Renaissance Era and they deal with the hard times African Americans faced in society beginning during the 1920’s. Hughes and Cullen put together these ideas in two different methods; however, the underlying messages were very alike.

Ruiz advises that “under any circumstance, always do [one’s] best, no more and no less. But keep in mind that [one’s] best is never going to be the same from one moment to the next” (75-76). An entirely new challenge awaits internally as one must avoid comparing the past with the present. Just because a person was able to do something once does not mean he will ever be able to again. That is why it is important to “keep {one’s} attention on today, and stay in the present moment” (91).

I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered, you will never grow". If you don't try you will never master anything. If you don't try to master new things you will never learn anything. If nobody tried at new things we would never have anything new. If you never try at new things than you can not master anything. If you ask anybody famous they will probably so they tried different things before they became famous. Trying new things could be hard but, it will make you a better person. You can not master anything if you don't try. You will never master anything if you don't try. Rhonda Rousey didn't know she was good at Mixed Martial Arts until she tried now she one of the best fighters

Maya Angelou, her real name Marguerite Annie Johnson, is a Black woman living in the united-States in 1957 when the book begins. She lived her childhood in Arkansas, after her parents ended their marriage. Her grandmother raised her and her brother Bailey. After a while, her mother returned to take her and Bailey. She gave birth to her son Guy when she was a teenager and took care of him mostly all by herself. She had many jobs, in singing and dancing. After meeting John Killens, he told her to become a published writer. She joined the Harlem Writers Guild after moving to New-York. She was also the coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Martin Luther King’s office. Growing up in the south, Maya was really affected by

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” What he means by this is if you continue to stick to what you know, you won’t learn anything in life. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote is highly agreeable. You can’t learn anything if you aim to play safe your whole life. By experience, taking risk can help you develop as a person, and mastering new things also constructs you to become more confident at what you are undertaking.

Author Ralph Waldo wrote, "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." What he wrote is true. In order to grow in this fashion, one must expand their knowledge of other things besides what they have already mastered. You will not grow if you focus all of your energy mastering one specific thing. You will remain in one state, without growing. This could be like an artist who masters a specific form of art, but tries to master a new form of art. This could be a coach who knows all about a sport, but learns another sport to try and coach it. This could also be a language expert who knows all about one specific language, but tries to learn a new language. If you do not expand your knowledge, you will never

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow” (Emerson). Ralph Waldo Emerson quoted this, he means that you can never grow if you don't try something more difficult than what you have already mastered. In many ways this quote is very simple to understand, but unfortunately, no one follows this. Many people think they can live without learning anything more difficult than what they already can do; but that one thing won't help you as you get older.

I feel like anyone can relate to this quote, we have all tired to solve problems over and over again using the same process. After a while we realize we haven’t gotten anywhere. We could either just give up, or approach it in a different way. For example, you could do some research, ask for advice, or

“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better.”
