FIRST IMPRESSION: SELF-RELIANCE

”Our acts our angels are, or good or ill” Emerson doesn’t just want to appeal to our minds but also to our hearts. Emerson is saying that your belief in yourself is genius.

When you listen to someone else more than you do to your own mind then you kill a part of yourself. If you want something you have to work to get it. You can't just sit around and expect it to show up right in front of you. If you don't work for the things you want then who will.
