Which is one of Emerson's messages in this text?

While criminals may succeed and prosper for a time, they will eventually be found out and punished.

Skilled manual laborers are of more value to society than thinkers and artists.

Is it B?

I disagree.

This may not have been written by Emerson.

" To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. "

Yes, D.

Yes, the message you mentioned, "People should follow their own path in life, not one laid down for them by others" is indeed one of Emerson's messages in the text. To find this answer, you can look for statements in the text that reflect Emerson's belief in individualism and self-reliance. In this case, the message encourages individuals to find their own way in life rather than conforming to societal expectations or following the paths set by others.
