Over dit audioboek
"Every great man is a unique".
R.W Emerson told us that Self-confidence is always about independence :
"What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
Over de auteur
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an essayist, poet, and the leader of the transcendentalist movement in the United States. A prolific writer, Emerson published dozens of essays and addresses, including "Self-Reliance" and "The American Scholar," which Oliver Wendell Holmes declared the "intellectual Declaration of Independence."A staunch supporter of individualism as well as man's connection with the natural world, Emerson is, in addition to being a transcendentalist pioneer, one of the most important figures in the American romantic movement. Emerson inspired many contemporary writers, like Henry David Thoreau, his lifelong friend and mentee.
