Self-reliance remix

I know this may seem way too short to summarize the whole "self-reliance" essay but I truely  believe you can sum up the whole entire essay in one sentence, "do what you want, what you believe, and what you think is the best for you." Emerson talks about being self reliant.. well you're not born independent. As you go on through life will you learn how to do more and more on your own. If you think about it, for the first stages of your life, you're not self-reliant, you're being trained by your parents so that you can become self-reliant! When that day comes, begin to use your own mind. Take what others have to say into consideration.. think about it, and come up with something original and on your own based on what others say. You're you and no one else, now make it seem like it. YOu have parts in your life when you're not meant to be independent. Its the cycle of someone raising you to be self-reliant then carrying that on through your life onto the next gerneration.
