I started reading Emerson and Thoreau in elementary school.  I remember getting so excited when I found out that they actually knew each other!

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone

to tell you that you are wrong.  There are always difficulties

arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right.

To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I would add that the path is one of discernment.  One does well to use time wisely.
