Listen to no one...

I interrupt my studies because a thought came to mind. Not a thought per say...just...one of my musings. I follow Casey Neistat and Ben Brown on youtube. In one of his vlogs Neistat said the best advice is, "listen to nobody." Hmmm, very profound. What does that mean to me...many things really...For one I understand where this is coming from. If I where to listen to people about how to do my things I'd never really see what ME is and what ME can accomplish. 6 Billion and more people living on planet earth. If I listen to someone and take their advice I'm conforming...ME never really comes out. 6 Billion people all unique and different. You ought to be more like so and so....says mum...says society. You follow a role model even to places you dont agree with...then YOU is never really born. Just think about it...we take advice, many a times against our own gut feelings from a few considered to be models of success. What follows is that we're never US but just copies of these individuals. Redundant copies, for the sake of conformity; not to mention the colossal loss of unique talent/contribution we deny planet earth and mankind. I remember Arnie said "bend the rules"....I think now the penny has dropped. Rules, advice...equals uniformity and conformity plus a colossal loss on the part of the individual as well as mankind on the skill set they could offer. I'm out
