“Low aim is the crime so we should have high aims in our life”

Introduction

Emerson's words reflect how passionately a person should live his/her life. Life is not bed of roses; it makes us face several challenges and the winner is one that proves him him/herself as a unique individual after facing all obstacles of life (McIntyre, 2005, 45).
