In this quote, Henry David Thoreau states that with perseverance and confidence, one can receive  success unexpectedly through normal time. Say you have to keep on going with your dream and not let yourself down."If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours’’. The quote states give yourself time to be and keep working for your success.

i do agree with Thoreau's quote because it adds emphasis to the fact that when you work hard  in life you will have much more success. personally if i want to achieve something regarding to sports or school,  i will put in all the effort i can to achieve that goal and if i don't it will still effect me in some way. if you don't work for the things you want you will not get them. not everything is handed to you in life.

I qualify with Thoreau's quote as he states that if someone is diligent and confident within working towards their dream, they would fruit unbeknownst success. I would agree with his quote if the world worked systematically, working hard and moving up within the system to achieve your goal. But everyone has their own version of success. If you wanted to become a Hollywood actor or get big with music it wouldn't be as easy. Opportunities, time, connections with others, and etc. would be in play on top of the hard work that you put in for you to get to the spot you want to be in. I can't say the same for many other individuals jobs, since there are some careers that would just require hard work. But I wouldn't downplay them just because they worked hard, they put in their time, blood, sweat, and tears into achieving their goal.

It is the same situation with pursuing your dreams. You will reach personal goals and achievement and slowly but surely work to where you want to be in life. You must continue to have faith in yourself and continuously work hard. As if I were to say I want a full ride scholarship for college.

I disagree with Thoreau's quote, "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." He or she can be the most confident person in the world, but their dream may not come true. Thoreau included the word "will" towards the end of the quote and I feel that is misleading. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that black people would one day be judged the content of our character, not by the color of our skin. Unfortunately in 2020, this is not the case. George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are prime examples of how justice was not served to them because they were black. Although there have been a significant amount of changes, we are seen as less than the average white American.

I do in fact agree with Thoreau's quote because it put emphasis on the fact that you have to work towards the goal you've set up for yourself. I have always been taught to a strong ethic even in the things I don' have interest in. Knowing you gave 100% of yourself every time in every aspect always proves that you left everything on the table. I try my best to apply this in sports, school and other extracurricular activities. Many millionaires have inspired people to work for what they want in life. For example if someone wants to become a successful boxer such as Mike Tyson you have to be willing to put they wok in. He spent multiple hours everyday training to be the best he could be in the ring which is what many people regardless of their profession must do.

I agree with Thoreau's quote because it adds emphasis to the fact that if you work hard you will succeed in life. I can personally attest to this. When I strive to be great, greatness will come to me with open arms. Even if we don't work hard then there will be an example of what happens when the effort isn't put in.This will teach us how to get what we want. Sometimes everything doesn't come the way we want but it shows us how hard we need to grind.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this quote because its implying that if you work hard to achieve a goal and that nothing in life comes easy. I've always believed that even if we don't succeed at achieving those goals it should still teach us about work ethic and how we'll need to dream and see our visions if we want to grab something in life. For example, In my life I've always strive for a good work ethic and academic success and every year I make sure I envision it but also that I work hard for me to be able to achieve it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Thoreau's quote since I myself have been able to experience success within my life due to being confident and unwavering. This world is run by those who are not afraid of failure. Steve Jobs started Apple in a small garage not knowing it would turn into a multi million dollar company, and Jeff Bezos did not think Amazon would bring him the success he sought after. This real life examples show that with determination and being confident in the decisions you make, there is nothing stopping you from achieving success in this world

I agree with Henry's quote because to achieve anything in life it takes hard work and consistency, it isn't easy however that is the whole point. nothing good comes easy. Henry quotes that you will "meet success unexpected in common hours" and to me this stands out because when we put a goal in our minds and work day and night to achieve it we end up shocking ourselves at the amount of growth we made, for example if ones goal is to get a perfect score on the SAT they would study as much as they can and try their best and then end up surprising themselves by how much growth they made.

I agree with Henry David's quote "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours". In this quote he explains that if we continue to go after our dreams passionately and confidently there is a chance that success will find us. I agree with this because I believe that hard work always pays off in the end. I admit that even if we strive for our dreams we may not always achieve that exact goal but I always had the mindset that if I continue to push through my hardships and work passionately, I will be able to find success regardless even if it's in a different field

I agree with the quote because I believe that if you are passionate about something you will work hard for it and will appreciate it when your dreams finally come true. If you work hard day and night and don't be distracted your dreams and your vision that you have for yourself will come true.

I agree with this quote because its saying that those who push and work for what they want will get it even when they dont expect it. Whenever I truly work for something, I find that I've always been ale to achieve my goal despite my low expectations. Once I started actually trying in school last year, I found that success came much easier than I had expected. Before this I was pushing myself in the slightest and I constantly found myself further from what I wanted to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Thoreau's quote because if you're passionate about achieving somethings, you're going to do whatever you can to reach that success. I've always felt as if i truly wanted something and life I would work for it. It is the same situation with pursuing your dreams. You will reach personal goals and achievement and slowly but surely work to where you want to be in life. You must continue to have faith in yourself and continuously work hard. As if I were to say I want a full ride scholarship for college. I will continue to retake that SAT and ACT until I get the scores I want. I will participate in extracurriculars. I will study hard and volunteer in my community so my college applications show me as a well rounded balanced student.

i agree the quote with you are going to direction of your dream then you success in it because dream are plan and if you plan go well that is unexpected because people dream people always said to have a a plan A or B for example if you want to be football player teacher said go for you dream make sure you get backup plan all dream is something we hope for and some we need to prepare to fall

I agree and disagree with Thoreau's quote. The reason is because, yes, I do believe if you work hard enough and truly strive towards your goals and dreams you could make it. However, in some instances even if you strive towards your dreams and never slack, even for a second, it's not always promised you will live to experience those dreams. I could say an example of this could be someone who may live in a certain area where they lack crucial resources and even though they're doing everything they can to achieve their goal, their surroundings hold them back. I saw this in a movie called Imperial Dreams, where Bambi, the main character just got out of jail and decided to work towards his goal of becoming an author so he could support him and his son. But because he was a convicted felon, he couldn't get any government housing, which put his child at a risk of being taken away by CPS. And then, he went to apply for a license so he could get a job, but he needed to pay his impending child support fees in order to get the license. So it seemed there was nothing he could do to advance his goal of becoming a writer, which was something he struggles heavily against.

I agree with Henry Thoreau's quote because if you put enough effort into the pursuit of something like learning a skill for example you will get rewarded, whether it be something like a dream job or the satisfaction and pride you will feel after accomplishing something you have worked hard for. Even if it isn't the expected outcome if you put enough energy into something you will find profit in one way or another.

I agree with Thoreau's quote that concludes that if a person is confident then they will be successful in whatever it is they are doing. I agree with this because I believe that confidence is a huge factor to accomplish something. In my experience I have noticed that if somebody is more confident in something that they are doing then they usually succeed more and having that the mindset that you will succeed also helps. I have noticed in myself that when I am confident that does help me to accomplish my goals. For example when I take tests going in with the mindset that I am going to fail then usually I don't do that well, but when I go in with confidence then I tend to do better in reaching my goals.

I agree with Thoreau's quote that if a person is confident and determined to achieve their goals they will be able to achieve them. Personally, most goals that were related to academics I was able to achieve them. Though, there are situations in which a person has less opportunities which will hinder the person's confidence in achieving their goal. When Thoreau stated "one advances confidently" he his highlighting one of the most important qualities. Without confidence you are unable to persevere through the endeavors of life. Yes there may be circumstances in which you "cannot" achieve your dreams, but in reality the endeavors is what helps you learn as a person and know what your limits are.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Thoreau's quote where he basically states that if one were to work hard enough nd put their passion into something, the result will be what they wanted it to be. He states "advances confidently" which leads us t believe that , if one were to hesitate it means that they aren't willing to take the extra step to forward themselves in the the direction they want to be in. As the saying goes "practice makes perfect", shows that if you're willing to work day and night to get something right, it shows you're willing to go the extra mile to get the results you want. I think the hinderance that people face when determining if this is where they want to be, they aren't too sure which diverts their attention from their goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I concur with Thoreau’s quote as it elaborates on the idea that success is achieved by going towards one’s dreams with confidence and tenacity, which is most of the time, true, but it must not only rely on these two things due to the fact that many other factors take into account when it comes to an individual’s path to success. To further illustrate this, there are many instances when people wanted to pursue a career in music. They put all their effort into enhancing their skills but in reality, the music industry is more of a hit or miss situation. There are many musicians who have publicized their work yet most of them are still not known.

Tyler Hill                                              Agree with this quote because I feel like Thoreau is saying that if you work hard and believe In yourself you'll be successful eventually. Also Thoreau says "he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." To me this means if you chase what you want to and work towards success will come.

I agree with Henry Theoreau's quote but I believe there are other factors that should be taken into account when one attempts to advance his or her dreams. For one, not everyone starts at different points on the same path towards successful. One example of this is when a person with little to no resources is able to make it to college and get their dream job. Someone who has many resources and starts with that advantage might also make it into that same college and end up with the same job, but their path to get there was much easier.

I disagree with this quote because I don't think it is practical. I do believe that if you work hard at your goals you can achieve them however, I don't think this ideology is applicable to every situation, especially when talking about one's "dreams". For example, if someone's dream was to be a successful actor, even if they work hard there is still a good chance that they won't make it to the big leagues. Acting is such a huge, competitive industry that people can work as hard as they want and still no one will know their name. I understand where Thoreau is coming from and I don't think that he is completely wrong however I do not believe that it always works that way.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that what Thoreau said about the need of determination and perseverance are both things that are needed to achieve a goal is true. Having a goal and not working towards it is not going to lead to success. For example, something as common as studying for a test could lead to your success if you put in the time and are determined to pass.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe what Thoreau said about achieving success with determination was true. Only if one works hard they can achieve their goals in life, don't just expect them to happen. Its as simple as studying for a test to gain a high score, you can't just think you know everything. Same goes for the many historical leaders who helped shape America, they actually fought instead of being bystanders, like George Washington, Martin Luther King and Susan B Anthony.Thoreau said that success come in common hours, I think what he means is that if you just work hard, you will succeed without even knowing it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Henry Thoreau's quote "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."  In this quote Thoreau is pushing the point if one sets outs to pursue their dream confidently and stays determined it will happen in the near future. As I believe if you set your mind to something and your completely determined to achieve that dream success will come your way. Where as in my own life my dream was to create a business so that's exactly what I did! I put my mind to something in this case creating my business and stayed determined as I took the steps to make my dream a reality and a month later I started my own business.I believe the quote holds truth as I've experienced seen others do it before, as they have layed out a solid foundation for them to build upon on their dream to meet their success.

# data[].attributes.body
I defend Henry David Thoreau’s quote, if you are someone who doesn’t believe in yourself and talks about the life you would like to live and not work and put in the effort to execute your dream, you will never receive it. To have confidence in yourself, means you believe in yourself and the dream you want to see yourself living. And that is a step toward meeting success because you’re creating a foundation for what’s best for you. For example, I would like to live a comfortable and wealthy lifestyle, I don’t want to ever have to worry about money. I began my business this summer so, I could start young and have a foundation already built before I become an adult. So, I won’t have to work for someone else while I’m in college and I will stand out because I have already started my career.

I agree with this quote because Thoreau is basically saying that if you believe in yourself and work towards your dreams, you will be successful. He also says in the quote "he will meet success unexpected in common hours" which I interpreted as if you chase after your dreams you will be successful in the end, even if you don't end up on the path you were originally following. Thoreau states that success is found for people that look for it and work hard. For example, Dwayne Johnson, professionally known as "The Rock" started out as a football player. By confidently going after his dreams, The Rock found success in wrestling and acting, even though his plan was for success in football.

I qualify Henry David Thoreau’s quote as he states that if someone were to live their life with assured confidence and follow what they have envisioned in their mind, they will succeed. Thoreau’s perspective in living is too idealistic and romanticizes the idea of reaching for your goals and everything will be fine. Although this is everyone’s hopes, it does not mean everyone will turn out fine, there are logistics and internal/external factors that may hinder someone from striving for their ideal lives -like finances, families, etc. However, if someone were to live their life the way they wanted, at least they save themselves from a possible regret or yearning of “what ifs”. For instance, as a child I wanted to go into track-and-field, I never got to, now I wonder how my life would have been if I did. If this were to be extrapolated, many people have dreamt of accomplishing or living a certain way, but stopped themselves, leaving behind regrets. In a way, if you were to follow your passion, there is an internal success of fulfillment and reality.

I definitely agree with this quote, being that I stand by the idea that actions speak louder than words.  This quote is saying that the more you work for yourself the more you will accomplish for yourself.  The statement relates a lot to Kobe's way of thinking the "Mamba mentality", the idea that the more you work and devote yourself to a craft the better you will become at it in these "common hours."
What I interpret from Thoreau, there are ideas that hard work is simply a gate way and devoting yourself to a field even if it's not your initial dream.

This quote means is if you pursue your dreams something good is going to happen in the future with the dream like come true, or bring better things forward. I agree with this quote because the Author Thoreau is telling us that dreams can come true, and makes me think that if I put any hard work into something it can come true.

In this quote, Henry David Thoreau states that with perseverance and confidence, one can receive success unexpected through normal time. I can say personally this is true because of experiences dealing with having to work towards a goal and having success in other areas in my life, all in record time. Having to go through endeavors is a part of life, because you can only live the life you want through challenges blocking us towards our goal, strengthening us along the way. I can also relate this to Bill Gates, because through achieving the coding behind Microsoft, he was able to create a multi-trillion dollar corporation that now owns rights to many things, as well as becoming a well-known figure in the world. This success came from quitting college and working towards a goal he didn't even know existed.

I agree with the beginning sentences of this quote. Where the author says the words "advances confidently" this means that you have to take the necessary action to make this dream come true. The next part of the sentence he says "endeavors to live" where he shows that people have to work hard for the dreams they want to accomplish. On the other hand I disagree with the part where he emphasizes that success happen miraculously, I believe that success was the result of hard work and action that was put in before.

Always be passionate about what you want, never give up. Chase your dreams and work hard.

Henry Thoreau's quote "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours", displays the character of a person with determination and the persistence needed to achieve a goal. I agree with Thoreau's statement because success doesn't come without hard work and grit. A person that came to mind as I thought about this was Rosa Parks. She was determined to sit in the front of the bus, regardless of the standards that society established. Parks was met with backlash and jail time, but she continued to fight for equal rights. Her dream became a reality as legislation was passed and people saw the importance of the issue.
