Man *** Poet's notes: 09/19/2018 This poem can have different meanings for both men and women based on the perspective of the reader. The above illustrated quote is attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson. There are many challenges that may come up in a person’s life. Sometimes we might not rise to the challenge to the extent that we hoped we would, or perhaps not at all. The way we think and react to these challenges is going to affect how we feel about ourselves. What will we learn from our disappointments? Regardless the outcome, we are all unique and special.
