Self Reliance - by Ralph Emerson

[EastWind]

This was written in 1841, how true it resonates more than a century later and especially for those of us who are capitalists, budding entrepreneurs. It's a great shame that I didn't find this earlier in my life, but better late than never. I hope it can motivate a few of you, that the words can reach out and grab you like it did me. If you don't like to read nor have the time to put a good 20minutes at least into this, don't bother.

Yeah, some dude did a modern day translation, but I compared the first few paragraphs and felt some things were lost in translation. But if you want to check it out, you can check out Emerson's essay, Self-Reliance translated into modern English.

Thank You again for this post. I'm in the process of reading the translated version.
