FIVE secrets that turn life challenges into life successes
Life is all about turning challenges into successes. Fortunate is the man who during his lifetime learns the secrets to convert his obstacles into stepping stones. There are many secrets that can help one become successful. I am going to discuss with you the most basic Five of them:
1. Urge to succeed: This is the most essential secret to be successful. If anyone does not have this urge, being successful is impossible.
2. Self-discipline: The second most essential secret to being successful is self-discipline. It means self-control and the will to keep the mind engaged in productive skills and activity only. Most people don't succeed because they get distracted and waste their time, energies, and resources in trivialities.
3. Hard Work: In order to be successful in any fieild one needs to practice not only very regularly, but also very intensively.
4.Diligence and Perseverance: Perseverance actually is going from one failure to another without losing the enthusiasm to face more failures. Perseverance is a miracle-working virtue; if you have it, you can accomplish anything. Success in any field is the fruit borne on the tree of perseverance.
5. Company of Successful People: If one has the company of great, successful people, one will keep learning the secrets of success from them. Besides, their presence will keep them inspired. And for an inspired person success is a cinch.

Starting with its very title, "Song of Myself" is indeed a poetic embodiment of the transcendentalist philosophy. Whitman (or the speaker who calls himself Whitman) doesn't sing and praise some outside ideals or occurrences, but himself. This is the transcendentalist ideal of self-reliance, explained in Emerson's eponymous essay. It says that the greatest strength of every individual is his/her own self, independent, free from authority and restraints, liberated and self-sufficient. Both Emerson and Whitman, each in his own right, have written a giant ode to individualism.
Another transcendentalist ideal embodied in Whitman's famous poem is relationship with nature. In his view, nature is the source of genuine beauty and wisdom, uncorrupted by the touch of social and political institutions. Whitman says "<span>I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked", which means that nature is the only realm of sincerity, and people can only be true to themselves if they are independent of humanity but close to nature.
Just like Transcendentalism has been a unique, authentic American take on Romanticism, Whitman has been the pillar of American national and cultural identity in poetry. He has taken the very American notion of individualism (defined and praised by transcendentalists) and put it in his poetry, most notably in "Song of Myself" as the most self-obsessed, yet not egotistical account of modern American poetry.</span>
