Take the course opposite to custom; you will almost always do well.

If you follow the crowd, the place you will most likely end up at is the exit.

Think different. Rather than letting public opinion dictate your actions, have the courage to let your heart drive you. And in taking the road less traveled, you have found success beyond your wildest dreams.

Read every day something no one else is reading. Think every day something no one else is thinking. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

Don’t do things because everyone else does them. Do the things that are right for you. Being different for all the right reasons are a wise way to live.
