    The document discusses how different people have different "boiling points" when it comes to handling emotions and stress. It gives the example of how some students are very organized and cannot handle leaving assignments until the last minute, while others who procrastinate do not feel as much stress about deadlines. This is because people's nature and experiences shape their comfort zones and ability to handle pressure. While everyone experiences stress differently, they also recover from it differently in order to cope with their emotions. The quote "We boil at different degrees" serves as a reminder that individual tolerances and responses to stress vary greatly.

    9/7 - What does the choice of this specific quote, from among the first 100 quotes in the

    1001
    Smartest book, tell you about yourself?

    “We boil at different degrees” by Ralph Waldo Emerson serves as a common

    reminder that everyone handles their emotions differently. What may be an ideal

    condition for one person might be too much for another individual. An example of

    this can be compared to completing assignments. There are students who are

    proactive when it comes to being on top of their assignments and cannot handle the

    stress of leaving the work incomplete up until the night before, whereas someone

    who procrastinates and leaves things until the last minute do not stress out with the

    deadline so soon. This is a valid assumption because people function in different

    ways due to their nature and past experiences. They know their comfort zones;

    however, if changes are drastic, they might reach their “boiling” point and break

    down because they cannot handle this new pressure they have reached. Some may

    feel burned out, others can experience emotional exhaustion because of the

    overexertion. Just as everyone experiences differently, they recover differently to

    help cope with their emotional state. I understand my capabilities as well as my

    boiling point. I am someone who procrastinates and leaves assignments to the last

    moment because it gives me a sense of priority and importance rather than stressing

    me out. It is important to be mindful of emotions since everyone is carrying some

    burden on their shoulders, the level we express it at is where we differ.
