While reading the book‚ I Can I Will‚ I found the messages that were sent across to be very forceful and pertained to a lot of my own life experiences. The book teaches me to overcome my negative preconceptions and always say “I can I will.” It also teaches me to believe in myself‚ have positive self-affirmation‚ and spend my energy on important aspects of my life. Furthermore‚ it enlists self-confidence in the reader and allows an individual to introspectively assess the qualities that are needed

Evil and Human Nature Friedrich Nietzsche said‚ “Man is the cruelest animal.” Some people may think it is preposterous‚ but in fact‚ evil consistently exists in our hearts. In 1651‚ Thomas Hobbes recognizes the evil nature of humans and paints a very blatant picture of it in Leviathan. He states that laws were devised for the sole purpose of keeping our evil nature in check. Without them‚ our base instincts would resurface and chaos would reign supreme.
