RE: Doing what others won't

in #philosophy7 years ago

I agree that everyone has the opportunity to do something different than what they are currently at right now. I guess its just a matter of people having the stugots to do it or they would just rather stay safe. But i dont blame them if they choose the latter. I mean its a given that we humans are creatures of comfort. We like to play it safe. But if we think about it, most successful people are where they are now because they challenge themselves. They are willing to do things that most people wouldnt do because of the uncertainties that comes with it - be it the financial rewards or the ROI for their efforts. Most people are content with doing the things that are proven to work by all the people before us. In reality, people are doing the herd mentality. I understand its the practical thing to do but one should also note that there is also a chance and opportunity for greater rewards by facing and embracing uncertainties. As they say, there are many ways to skin a cat. And that also holds true for finding your success in life.

Indeed, there are many ways to skin a cat and this pathway is unlikely to be suitable for many. It is not that they can't however and for some it is because they don't realise it is a viable option. The herd mentality is part of the reason why there is a huge disparity between those that do and the rest that don't. The only way to really become a billionaire is to provide something for the masses. If there are no masses?
