emerson is saying that you have to put the work in to make you feel worthy of yourself or happy with yourself. You have to work hard to get to where you want to be in the world because no one can do it for you. A quote from the text is “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best”. In the quote he is saying that the man feels relieved after he put all the work in.

The world is against you and tries to steal your manliness. (“Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.”) Because of this, men need to stand firm in their beliefs and learn from personal research and experiences. (“He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness.”)

Society has a negative action against mankind. It’s a business owned by its inventor for the better ensure of its money to the shareholders. The values in most request is keeping with standard. “To surrender the liberty and culture of the water”, “it lives not realities and creator, but names and customs.”

This paragraph states that men should be thankful for what god has given them. And to do everything individually while still living their life and having fun. “Accept the place the divine providence has found for you.” This sentence focuses on being grateful for what u have been given . “Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age.” This sentence justifies the fact men should be individual but still live life to the fullest.

Negative actions in society affect others. Society wants people to conform, you have to be self reliant to beat that. You're not a real man unless you are an individual. The only thing that matters is your will and your mind, you need to take care of yourself.

I believe the main idea of the first paragraph is that when you try to conform to society you lose individual thought. This is proven by the quote "In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope." He is saying that to want to be like everyone else instead of yourself, it robs you of the happiness of the individual and being your own person. When he says "...envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better." To be jealous is to be foolish. To want what everyone next to you has and wants kills the person you were originally, you become a "blank", blindly following the mob and you lose your humanity to become "the society".

A man’s potential is unlimited. You can do anything with the right determination and GRIT. Ralph Emerson once said, “The power that resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.” I firmly believe that society gets in the way and stifles our potential. If we trust in ourselves and distance from social and societal norms, we can unlock our full potential.

Trust yourself and accept your place as a nonconformist. Evidence of this is in the statements "Trust thyself," and "must accept in the highest mind the same trancendent destiny."

Great minds must be willing to change. Even if your words today contradict those o  yesterday, it is best to speak your mind. Many great minds of the past did this, such as Pythagoras or Socrates. These men were misunderstood but they spoke their mind and that is what made them great.

Emerson is stating that envy and imitation is stupid, Emerson is arguing that to be happy you must put in the work, effort and time in the things you have or love. Emerson is saying to achieve happiness you must achieve it alone because nobody is coming to help you or give you free handouts.

The central idea of this passage is you must trust what you have to say and not let anybody bring you down. In the text it says “He would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness”. Immortal palms could mean ideas and hindered by the name of goodness could be people, it’s saying don’t let people bring you down. “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind”. This means that your ideas are right in your own mind, you will understand right from wrong as you continue to make own ideas for yourself.
