Emerson's the duties of the scholar

After Emerson talked about nature, mind of past, and action, he began to talk about the duties of the scholar. For example, the development of self-trust and a mind to be a repository of wisdom The scholar should be brave to go through any obstacles, so that required self-trust. Scholars should remained their own thinking, and don't distracted by the popular opinions. "They are such to become Man Thinking. They may all be comprised in self-trust. The office of the scholar is to cheer, to raise, and to guide men by showing them facts amidst appearances."
