Suppose you have found wordsfrom Frank Wilson: Books, Inq.--The Epilogue: As I see it . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~
At any rate, it was not those famous quotes from "Self-Reliance" that grabbed me so much as this one: "Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him."
What I liked about this--what I still like about it--is the idea that there is something each of us can do that no one else is qualified to, and that authenticity consists in finding out what that is and doing it as best one can.
