He gives deep emphasis on the importance of self-reliance. For all of us, the true measure of a person’s independence and strength on how he fends for himself. The more independent and self-reliant a person is, the stronger people perceive him to be. Being self-reliant is essential for us to survive in society. We cannot rely on others if we want to make it in this world. Only by being self-reliant can we truly be free and strong.
