"On self reliance Part 2"

-We decide where to put our effort
-We become ashamed of our self
-the thing that makes us, us when we don't use it it wears off
-should have the transcendentalist mentality and that we could do better then what other people think
-You are your own hero
-Don't care what other people think about you and just be yourself.
-Be yourself even if everything else tells you not to be.
-Show your inner genius and express yourself and to be yourself
-don't hide behind something else

In this part of the essay Emerson is telling us (From what I got) that you need to be yourself and you need to think and act like you would normally. You don't need to act or be someone else for other people. Just be yourself for being yourself and even if everything else tells you not to be yourself and be someone else, you have to go against the current and there you will find yourself. You have to be yourself to be your own hero.
