to

a

study,

people

tend

to

follow

the

crowd

when

they

aren’t

sure

about

the

direction

they

should

take.

This

means

a

large

number

of

people

could

be

following

others

without

understanding

what’s

right

and

what’s

wrong!

This

attracts

more

people

to

follow

them

and

the

result

is

that

most

people

move

in

a

certain

direction

even

if

it

isn’t

right.Amanwhowantstobesuccessfulalwayshopesforothers’guidanceandheusuallyfollowsthesamepathofmostpeople,butthequestionthismanneveraskshimselfis:areallofthosepeoplesuccessful?Ofcoursenot!Ifyouwanttofollowacrowd,thenfollowasuccessfulone.However,inreallifeyou’llonlyfindonesuccessfulpersonamonghundredsofpeople,andthat’swhyfollowingthecrowdmakesnosenseatall.Most

without

wisely.

If

you

always

follow

others

because

they're

greater

than

you

in

number,

then

sooner

or

later

you'll

discover

that

you're

making

decisions

you

might

regret

later.However,

should

we

never

follow

the

crowd？No.

I'm

not

trying

to

say

you

should

never

follow

the

crowd,

but

instead

I'm

just

asking

you

to

think

wisely

before

you

take

a

decision.

If

you

find

others

are

right,

there

is

no

problem

in

following

them,

but

if

you

have

doubts

about

the

direction

they're

moving

in,

don't

follow

them

blindly.
