And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life"

"Else, if you would be a man, speak what you think today in words as hard as cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said
today. Ah, then, exclaim the aged ladies, you shall be sure to be misunderstood."

These lyrics connect to this quote, because both Bon Jovi and Emerson express the necessity to be true to you and not use your life to appease others, but rather fulfill yourself in the pleasures that nature and life has to offer. ]]> 2019-11-15 21:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412076151 Fictional Character Who Embodies Self Reliance: Elsa abelshe4058 https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412076661 Elsa embodies self reliance because, unlike most Disney movies where the princess meets her prince, Elsa is independent. She does not rely on a prince to help her succeed and she does not need a prince in order to make her happy and know her worth. While she is in solitude it allows her to recognize that she is self-sufficient. 

"Nothing is at last sacred but the
integrity of our own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world."]]> 2019-11-15 21:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412076661 Great Thinker Who Was Misunderstood: Thomas Edison abelshe4058 https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412078858 Today, Thomas Edison is revered as one of the greatest inventors of all time, but in his generation he and the invention of the light bulb was ridiculed and misunderstood by many. This is similar to the list of great thinkers that Emerson mentions in "Self Reliance" ]]> 2019-11-15 21:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412078858 "These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world" abelshe4058 https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412079896 Emerson claims that it is difficult to attain solitude in a world so full of distractions and vain of isolation. I felt that this image exemplifies Emerson's idea of solitude, without even the slightest of distractions such as his pen and journal. ]]> 2019-11-15 21:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/abelshe4058/daaa1b18y10v/wish/412079896
