It sounds cheesy, maybe something about following your dreams and going for the "gold" rather than settling.

In stead of hitching your wagon to horses, you should hitch it to a star to go beyond what you thought is possible. That's a summation of what Emerson wanted to communicate.

To me it means, when you plan your life you have to aim big. Go for the best and greatest dream you have. There is no fault in wanting the best for yourself and working hard for it.

It means buddy up to someone who is rapidly on the rise. Grab on to his coat tails and let him take you along.

go for something big, even if you know you can't make it, overshoot in life and you are likely to reach at least something adecuate.
also. think bigger, go for the best, remain unindered by outer influences or yourself

Set your goals higher than you think you can reach. Dream *big*.

I think it means find a goal for yourself and stick to it.
