Emerson

Emerson talks about how self-trust is crucial for success. He says that it important to stand up for and speak of what you believe. He says, "A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace." He also makes a point about how man should not be a conformist which goes along with self-trust and how one should not worry about what other people think. I do agree that self-trust and standing up for what you believe is important. However, some people do fear others reactions and do not always stand up for their beliefs. Self-trust in a way that someone is comfortable with him or herself is important even if one doesn't verbalize it. I do agree with what he says is needed to be successful, but I do not think it's easy.
