Self-Reliance +Emerson
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorancel; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion...
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. . . .

I have to agree with Emerson says, but the world we live in today tries to force you into confomity. I'm not saying go against "The Man", but todays world is all about trying to make everyone the same. When in reality we are all different and we are all better at certain things. The hardest decsion i have found in life so far is what im i going to do with my life. The world is trying to tell you what you should do, but if you are going to be a real person you have to seek that for yourself with God at your side. THe road is tough and very confusing, i think you have to have god a part of it though for those though times. In the end you and God will find what is right for you.
I dont know if that was at all what he was talking about, but thats my thoughts.
