Emerson essay

To me "On self-Reliance" means to rely on yourself and with having read the passage I it means that you should be able to know yourself and be true to yourself so you don't have to rely on others to think they know you when you know you. His tone in the passage to me is kind of a caring like he wants people to be themselves and by making this passage I think he needed to try to convince people to be themselves. "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true to all men,-that is genius" (Emerson). Emerson is saying that if you believe in what you love deep down in your heart then its amazing. The way he uses his words it shows that he is serious about this passage and truly care that people be themselves. Emerson inspires me to want to help others to be themselves rather than trying to be someone they aren't.

So I am reading "On Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson (they finally found him). There are going to be a new post every three paragraphs that I will read and I will be giving my sort of summary of it and telling about a few words that I don't know the meaning of or forgot the meaning of. So today I read the first three paragraphs and stopped where he said "no muse befriends; no invention, no hope." Just from that I kind of get a depressing feeling about the three paragraphs. So how I am going to do this is I'm going to tell you where I left off, give my own little summary of what I read, and then tell you words that I looked the meaning up of. So the first paragraph to me it's basically saying to celebrate yourself be happy for who you are. The second paragraph to me is saying that when in school people envy those who have cooler stuff and contemplate suicide because they don't have what they have. The third paragraph to me is basically saying that people are scared to be themselves and they hide their uniqueness and are unhappy because they feel that they can't be themselves.

The art of hosting good conversations online

Many people like talking to people for various reasons whether it's in person or online. People love to talk it's just a natural thing that people like to do. Well why not start a community where you can get to know people and talk to them online? It's really not that hard you just have to learn how to be a good host to those people. Well first off you got to be nice and yes I know "well I'm nice all the time" yes many of you might be but it isn't just nice. You have to be understanding, helpful, and many other things. You see you have to get to know people like actually get to know them try addressing them by their name when you mention them or talk to them. Don't pick sides when there's an argument. People will fight it's natural people fight all the time when they disagree but you can't choose sides no matter what. It's kind of hard to host a good and friendly community but just try your best to make it a good environment for everyone because in the end it will be worth it.
