Although Einstein was not the best student and struggled in school, he continued with his determination and is now best known for developing the theory of relativity and the development of the theory of quantum mechanics.]]> 2021-12-03 18:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/psaiz1107/qrjp54cw8un72wli/wish/1927916383 psaiz1107 https://padlet.com/psaiz1107/qrjp54cw8un72wli/wish/1927922934 Emerson is implying that everyone is different and has their own thoughts, opinions, and ways of doing things.]]> 2021-12-03 18:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/psaiz1107/qrjp54cw8un72wli/wish/1927922934 psaiz1107 https://padlet.com/psaiz1107/qrjp54cw8un72wli/wish/1927927784 Chris McCandless embodies these characteristics described in "Self-Reliance" because of his determination. Although everyone that he encountered did not understand his reasoning and tried to stop him from carrying on, Chris ignored them and continued with his own plans.
