Edgar Allen Poe Quick Write

"If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own -- the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple -- a few plain words -- My Heart Laid Bare. But -- this little book must be true to its title. "-Edgar Allen Poe.

I believe this quote means that all people in life need to see what is right in front of them it is just their choice to find it and make the best out of it. An example of this in my life i don't like to confront people so i feel that when some thing has gone wrong, i try to settle the solution by leaving them alone for a little while them ask what I did wrong and what i could do better. I don't usually stay out of violence and confrontations because of my past. So, I don't usually keep my feelings and opinions to myself. I'm trying to learn to use some self control so I try to keep to myself.

I feel that I possess self control because I know when not to do something that I shouldn't even though I do it. Just like I know right from wrong for example if someone gave me the choice to do something I shouldnt, I have the control to do it or not. So therefore I feel that i have SOME self control.
