“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” The quote above is one of the most famous quotes from Walden. Recount a time in your life when you chose to march to the beat of a different drummer or discuss how you do this in your everyday life. Why did or do you choose to be different from the crowd? What challenges did you or do you face because of this choice? What have you learned?
