First Impressions on Self-Reliance

Ralph Waldo Emerson creates environment, where, everyone could relate even though this essay is 150 years old. It's such a relate-able piece of concept because it shows no matter the time period, who you are, we are all humans. Ralph stated if we impersonate someone and become it, then, that who you were before dies. Why you ask? That person who you were before is nowhere to be seen.
