I really like Emerson! Every line I read from this Chapter about Self-Reliance, I just loved it. It is so true everything he says. How many times, when we are making decisions we will think, but what would someone think about this? or how many times we have done something just because everybody else is doing it? So, in these cases we are just feeling afraid, terrified to show what we really are or think. And this conformism is what keeps us away from progress.
It is like the same analogy that is used in a lot of kid's stories. There are two ways from which you can choose: an easy way, or the harder one. Well, the harder one will lead us to much better things, however the easier one leads us to the conformism Emerson is talking about.
I just want to finish my blog my telling what a very good friend of mine told me once:
"Difficult things will lead to good thinks, but things that seem impossible lead to the greatest things. Don't feel scared of impossibilities!"
