EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK

Emerson's essay on Self-Reliance is about being yourself. Do what you like even if other people get annoyed by it. Do not try to be like anyone else. Don't think just because you are still young that you are dumb because you know things that some adults might not. If you are jealous of someone right now you will soon realize that it is dumb. Do not look for good things in other people, look for good things in yourself and find a way to show it to the world.
