This part four of my sighting on the essay "On Self-Reliance" by Emerson. On the essay it is said "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,..." which means that someone is so used to do something daily, over and over again that they don't want any change to happen. But you should always want change because change is what helps us learn and evolve. This essay also had "To be great is to be misunderstood." That quote in my opinion is one of the best I have ever heard in my lifetime so far. Because greatness is where someone does something so great that nobody understands how or why that person has done that. Then the people that want to be great would want to follow and try to repeat the steps of that greatness in order to be just like that person. Anyone can be great as long as you try and do things that other people are to afraid to do because they have "hobgoblins" in their minds.
