In skating over thin ice, our safety is our speed.
In life, you can't spend to much time over analyzing things. Life is made of many quick decisions. You need to get through situations, rather than pause and spend too much time thinking about it. I agree with Emerson's aphorism. When a person over analyzes something, it can have a negative effect on them. They spend to much time thinking about what the right thing is and get stressed out over it. Often times when a person thinks too much about something, they forget the true meaning behind it. I agree that life is made of quick decisions. Every decision you make may not be the right thing, but you learn from it and it teaches you a lesson you can use in making your next decision.
We boil at different degrees.
Emerson is stating that everyone has there limit, and everyone's limit is different. Some people have a better temper and withstand things that frustrate or annoy them for a long time, while other people quickly snap at the slightest things. I, personally, get mad easily. My mother is very different, it takes her a long time to be angry about things. It's not a bad thing, it's just the way a person is, and everyone is different.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Throughout life, a person makes several mistakes. Every mistake is an experiment. Every mistake you make helps you learn for the future. Emerson is saying that the more mistakes you make, the more you learn from those mistakes. If a person does not make any mistakes, they would never learn from what they did wrong. I agree with Emerson because I make several mistakes. I also learn a lesson from every mistake I make. I think it's very important to make mistakes in life because along with them, you learn a life lesson. If you were to not make those mistakes, you would never learn some important things that mistakes have to teach you.
