Detailed explanation-1: -As Emerson wrote, “envy is ignorance; imitation is suicide.” You have something unique, original, and great to express. Try to imitate someone else and you kill off that originality which is you. Envy is a lack of appreciation of your own special gifts.
Detailed explanation-2: -1. “Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” 2. “Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Emerson believed that human beings should learn to think on their own, rather than solely acquire the craft of imitation or conformity by repeating the speech of their teachers. A liberating education, to Emerson, gives students the ability to challenge those in power when necessary.
