“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
WHO WAS HE?
Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist who lost his father at eight and worked his way through school. He travelled the country giving talks telling people to trust their own thinking instead of just copying the crowd. His idea was simple: who you become is mostly a series of choices you make.
