Henry-David Thoreau: A successful life
What does it mean to be successful? Does one measure success by money? If I told you about a man who worked as a teacher, a land surveyor, and a factory worker (never holding any of these jobs for more than a few years", would that man sound like a success to you? If I told you that he spend two years living alone in a small cabin that he built for himself and that he spend those years looking at plants and writing in a diary--would you htink of him as a celebrity or an important figure? Do any of these facts seem to point to a man whose life should be studied and emulated?
