Avoid following the crowd

Be an engine, not a caboose. As Herman Melville wrote: It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” Average people would rather be wrong than be different.

Conformity is the enemy of growth and satisfaction. Did you know you’re destined to be different? Dare to be different and follow your own star.

GIVE BIRTH TO YOURSELF

Do you want to stand out in the world? Then be yourself. Be what you really are. This is the first step toward becoming better than what you are now.

You and I are born equal but different. “No man could be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive, he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else” (Orsen Marden). Choose to become yourself.
