00:08

well he had a tendency to disappear in a crowd

00:11

Yeah come on All right Chicken falling past the age

00:15

00:17

the first painter man should learn they're in their time

00:22

And what Pretty oracle These are the voices which we

00:29

hear Crusoe What do you mean in solitude All right

00:34

Read this excerpt from the selection Roger a man should

00:37

learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which

00:41

flashes across his mind from within More than the luster

00:45

of the firmament of bards in sage is heavy Which

00:50

of the following words is the best way to express

00:52

the meaning of the word detect in this excerpt All

00:56

right near the pencil and you know this stuff Okay

01:00

well this passage is not easy reading You won't find

01:03

andersen's books with pop fiction paperbacks at walmart Trust us

01:07

We've looked But if we read the passage over a

01:09

couple of times we realized that what emerson is getting

01:11

at is really pretty simple Think for yourself and don't

01:15

be afraid to tell everybody else what you think Even

01:17

if they might call you crazy with this in mind

01:20

will take a look a choice d and ask ourselves

01:21

a question If emerson thinks we should trust our personal

01:25

inspirations would he advise us to darken those gleams of

01:29

light that flash across our minds to darken them Get

01:33

rid of them No way he'd tell us to let

01:35

the light shine in our brain shine bright shine on

01:39

you know just remember to dim your rights when you

01:41

pass someone on the road it's common courtesy Okay we

01:44

can cross off b for the same reason is if

01:46

emerson is all about our letting our brain life shine

01:49

well he'd never tell us to stop thinking of cool

01:51

new things choi see gets at a good point after

01:55

we've had some kind of inspiration it can be important

01:58

to control it or shape it some way Trouble is

02:01

that's not what emerson's going for here he's talking about

02:04

the first flash of inspiration which is just a cz

02:06

involuntary as a sneeze but a little more sanitary So

02:10

trust a claims that notice is the best definition for

02:14

the word detect and we have to agree if we're

02:17

still unsure weaken stick the word notice in the sense

02:20

and see if it still makes sense A man should

02:22

learn to notice and watch that gleam of light which

02:24

flashes across his mind Gaudy idea Yeah it totally works

02:28
