This proverb in the title of the article is a very interesting one i read it on a T-shirt. Now a days this clothing companies run informal education through T-shirts (LoL). I started smiling when I thought about how we follow herd mentality and become an artificial product. Every individual has inborn potentials, this potentials have to be brought out through internal and external motivation.
There are several factors as to why people do not take risk to act as per their thought and reasoning. The one major factor is fear of failing. It is usually very easy to see the result of someone doing something and then following them. Swami vivekananda has commented on leadership as "Take risk in your life, if you win you will lead, if you lose you will guide".
The second factor i like to highlight is inferiority complex which is caused because of low self-confidence and low self-esteem. The doubts are raised as to what if my idea does not get recognised or idea does not work well.
And the same pattern follows in our daily lives. We want to follow hair style of our friend, buy a watch as is with our friend, build a home as designed by our neighbour. The people tend to give very less force on original or first hand thinking. Many times these proverbs are very worthwhile ' Trail costs nothing' or a risky proverb 'Trail and error'.
Motivate the original and trusted thoughts, Think Moral. Change is you...
