Blog – Is Cora Tucker successful? By what definition?
Cora Tucker is successful because she believes she is. In some aspects her measure of success is very similar to the ones presented by Emerson. Emerson proposed that self-reliance is success - and that defines Cora Tucker. From her disadvantaged beginnings to her role as a community leader, she has become successful by being confident in her abilities. But, her success can also be attributed to her work with (and helping) other people - an antitheses of Emerson's views. I think that Tucker has taken the best of multiple views of success and achieved them all - she's self-reliant, she's a humanitarian, she's made a huge impact on her community, and she's happy. Perhaps the only form of success she hasn't achieved is the one of material objects, and anyone with an ounce of decency in their heart can say that this is the least important form of success. Cora Tucker is very successful.

I agree with your blog. She was able to rise up and fight for what she believes in, something that most people, even privileged people rarely do. Even though she wasn't successful by material terms, she was successful in her eyes and that's all that really matters. I also haven't read anyone's blog that put "she has taken the best multiple views of success and achieved them all" and I think that is a good way of describing her success. Nicely done.
