When they were first written and published, Emerson’s ideas presented individuals with a new sense of purpose and control in the

ir own lives. Instead of being subject to society or institutions, individuals could look to nature and to themselves to find a sense of the divine and to construct a meaningful life.
Many of Emerson´s ideas still resonate with people today. Recall or review some of Emerson's statements in "Self-Reliance." Which ones most directly apply to your own life or to the society around you? How might Emerson's words help people navigate the problems and issues of today?

Answer:

The quote: “Political victory, increasing profits, recovering from magic, meeting old friends, or a number of other happy events, inspire you and make you think that these good days are prepared for you. Do not believe. Nothing can bring peace except firm principles”

Explanation:

These lines state precisely the human condition and their opinions about luck. But Emerson believes that happiness grows from within man himself. Man is not predestined to be hostage to various events of life forever, he is able to escape or even do more than that.  When good things happen, we attribute it to our good fortune, even though good things only come when you're being true to yourself. In my opinion, we have to behave as we really are. When good things come, it comes becomes we held into our firm principles. Just like Emerson said, we do not have to be someone else’s wants.

Answer:

“I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. When I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.” So vows Chris Gardner, an earnest salesman and father desperately struggling to make ends meet on the hard streets of San Francisco in the early 1980s. But his chosen vocation, peddling expensive bone-density scanners that most physicians don’t want, has left him and those he loves hovering on the brink of disaster.

   Day after unsuccessful day, Chris comes home to his dispirited girlfriend, Linda, and their 5-year-old son, Christopher. Linda pulls double shifts to stay within striking distance of solvency, all the while chastising Chris for his failure to provide. Predictably, she doesn’t think much of his latest brainstorm: securing an internship at the stock brokerage firm Dean Witter. Linda’s bitterness and negativity may wear on Chris, but they can’t dampen the weary salesman’s delight in his son. Christopher is the apple of Daddy’s eye.

   Then Linda leaves Chris (and their son) for a job in New York. She’s barely out the door when Chris learns he’s been offered the coveted internship. The catch? It’s unpaid. Despite the financial risk, Chris decides to go for it, frantically juggling his schedule to get Christopher to and from day care each day. But dwindling savings quickly result in an eviction from their apartment. And then another from a motel. Soon, father and son are homeless, staying in city shelters on good nights and in public restrooms on the worst.

     As his desperation mounts, Chris clings tenaciously to the hope that his hard work will eventually pay off. And his dogged pursuit of a better life forges a powerful father-son bond that no misfortune can destroy.

“You’re a good papa.” Those tenderhearted words from Christopher to his father as they spend the night in a homeless shelter poignantly capture the essence of The Pursuit of Happyness. Chris isn’t perfect, but one emotional scene after another clearly demonstrate his drive to protect and provide for his son. What won’t trip them up—and might even breathe new life into their own relationships—is Chris Gardner’s powerful, passionate pursuit of the best life possible for his little boy.
