IS reform needed? Is it through you? <br /> The greater the reform needed, the greater the personality you need <br /> to accomplish it. <br /> <br /> You! do you not see how it would serve to have eyes, blood, <br /> complexion, clean and sweet? <br /> Do you not see how it would serve to have such a Body and Soul, that <br /> when you enter the crowd, an atmosphere of desire and command <br /> enters with you, and every one is impress'd with your <br /> personality? <br /> <br /> O the magnet! the flesh over and over! <br /> Go, dear friend! if need be, give up all else, and commence to-day to <br /> inure yourself to pluck, reality, self-esteem, definiteness, <br /> elevatedness; <br /> Rest not, till you rivet and publish yourself of your own <br /> personality.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-a-pupil/
