Self-Reliance

so i decided to read self-reliance by RALPH WALDO EMERSON in order to understand some concepts of life. the great thing was that it reaffirmed how i feel and how i should live my life. Emerson writes that we should not be dictated by the world, we should do what makes us happy. He states that there will always be people who think they know what we need to do better than we do but the whole concept is to Trust yourself. then i remembered ROBERT FROST in THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED in which he states
"Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the road less traveled." we need to learn to take risks in life, if not, how boring would our lives be. I don't want to die without accomplishing my dreams, in order to do so, i have to take some risks. Taking risks leads me back to SELF-RELIANCE!!!!
