"On Self-Reliance"....

Genius! 

Mixture Notes:Actions speak louder than words. Our actions define ourselves.  Don't look outside yourself. nature is primal,life goes deeper than thought. Emerson is saying this more ancient than latin and primina.  eminent means well known and respected . When someone says something  you hear or see something original it immediately catches your attention and or sparks emotion. Arrogance what I put out there is genius. The thought itself is not genius what genius is the belief putting your knowledge out there without the fear of judgement. We have this hidden voice and it will be the universal sense. Did Not bind themselves to the books broke out of it created their own thoughts  and or options. Worth celebrating have a contradicting opinion against most. How can you be yourself and pretend to be someone else. If that someone else succeeds "yourself" dies. YOU.

Once again, my mind was captured into a text or more specifically, an essay. Now, my attention and mindfulness was captured almost instantly. Due to a phrase, "Ne te quaesiveris extra", which means do not seek outside yourself, look within. As you can probably tell, I had to look up this quote to see its translation and that action itself already caught my interest in this essay. Emerson's introduction is small but captive. First, with that quote and then follows a small passage about how nature is primal and what to come next is more ancient than latin itself and goes deeper than thought. As I began to read further, Emerson's ideology of our personalities and or who we choose to become is simply fascinating and relatable! In gist, originality is genius! When we hear something original we immediately out engulf it to rather hate it or love it. In other words, it instantly sparks emotion. Furthermore, Emerson was expressing such intelligence when he made sure to show he is not to be misunderstood when he talked about putting your work and or opinions out there: the thought itself is not genius what is genius is the belief in yourself of putting your knowledge out there despite the fear of judgement.
