"Self-Reliance"...Part 4!

Notes:

  • Consistency is a virtue- Emerson thinks this isn't necessarily true: why? 
  • When we learn about new things wy should we keep our head down and turned backwards: Agreeable but arguable! 
  • If you get a better idea grab that--- be open to a good idea: YES!
  • "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"
  • Is it so bad to be misunderstood? -----"To be great is to be understood": Agee. Ex. Copernicus center of the solar system
  • Have your ideas if you're misunderstood so what!
  • Yeah, you might decide to do or say different things day to day nut you still are apart of a different world or group
  • "Men imagine that they communicate their virtue or vice only by overt actions, and do not see that virtue or vice emit a breath every moment"--We do things that make our character without thinking about it
  • 🚢 ----People end to be themselves 
  • Your CONFORMITY EXPLAINS NOTHING!
  • "Honor is admirable to us because it is no ephemeris. t is always an ancient virtue. We worship it to-day because it is not of to-day. We love it and pay homage because it is not a trap for our love and homage, but is self-dependent, self-derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person"
  • What Kind of ripple effect do I/You have?
  • IMPRESSIONS ARE MADE EVERYDAY!
