    importance of self-reliance. Emerson believes that relying on others judgements is cowardly and without inspiration or hope but a person with self-esteem exhibits originality and is childlike yet mature (Rose‚ 2017). “To believe your own thought‚ to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men‚ — that is genius.” Emerson was trying to promote self-experience and to be confident because as he states later what you think may just be just as great as something you hear from

With his words‚ Wordsworth makes this message perpetual and everlasting. William Wordsworth
