Self-trust is the essence of heroism. It is the state of the soul at war, and its ultimate objects are the last defiance of falsehood and wrong, and the power to bear all that can be inflicted by evil agents. It speaks the truth, and it is just, generous, hospitable, temperate, scornful of petty calculations, and scornful of being scorned. It persists; it is of an undaunted boldness, and of a fortitude not to be wearied out.

When Emerson says, "[Heroism is] scornful of petty calculations and scornful of being scorned," he is saying that heroes hate people who scheme to help themselves and hate being considered worthless.

Why would Emerson's hero feel so strongly about these things?

He is so confident that he feels everyone is beneath him.
He is afraid to speak his mind and discuss his plans with others.
He thinks he should be appreciated because he acts in the best interest of all.
He wants to help others only if it is in his best interest to do so.
