Is it possible to succeed? Thoreau wrote: "I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."(나는 적어도 이런것을 경험에서 배웠다. 인간은 꿈을 향해서 전진하고 자신이 상상한 인생을 살기위해 노력한다면 평범한 인생에선 기대할 수 없는 성공을 거두게 될 것이라고.)
