Ill do it one second
<span>They told him the house was haunted. They told him the house was </span>
<span>strange. Five families had moved in, and never made it out. Alive </span>
<span>anyway. He had already survived two days with his family. His second </span>
<span>night in his new home, what could possibly happen? </span>
<span>A whispered name. </span>
<span>The boy stirs in his sleep. A pale, vaporous moon lights the room. </span>
<span>Shadows are deep. He twists his head, turning towards the window so </span>
<span>that his face becomes a soft mask, unblemished, colourless. But the </span>
<span>boy’s dream is troubled; beneath his lids, his eyes dart to and fro. </span>
<span>The whispered name: </span>
<span>‘Daniel….’ </span>
<span>Its sound is distant. </span>
<span>The boy frowns; yet the voice is within his own slumber, a silky </span>
<span>calling inside his dream. His arm loosens from dampened bedclothes, </span>
<span>his lips part in a silent murmur. His floating thoughts are being </span>
<span>drawn towards consciousness. The protest trapped in his throat like a </span>
<span>form, emerges as he wakens. And he wonders if he has imagined his own </span>
<span>cry as he stares through the glass at the insipid moon. </span>
<span>There is, in his heart, a dragging sorrow that seems to coagulate the </span>
<span>blood, so that movement in the veins is slothful and wearisome. </span>
<span>Somehow, making all effort to exit a ponderous, perhaps even hopeless </span>
<span>affair. But the whispering, almost sibilant, voice dispels much of </span>
<span>that inner lassitude. </span>
<span>‘…Daniel…’ it calls again. </span>
<span>And he knows its source, and that knowledge causes him to shudder. </span>

Answer:
Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.
Explanation:
Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.
He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.
