If I were to explain Emerson to a "young buck" it would be extremely difficult for me because he is so hard to understand. First I would tell a kid that this man if almost from a different time and things were different back then from now but his ideas are still around.
Then I would ask the kid what do you think the meaning of self reliant is? After I got the answer I would say that Emerson thinks that being self reliant is not listening to the people around you but to yourself.
