Group think drives most of societies largest decisions. Group think gives us presidents, bigoted policy etc. People will often reject their own conscious in order to "fit in". I wish I could say that I've never been guilty of this myself. The irony is that some of the most successful people are those that go against the grain of group think. Why then is it so rare?

"You don't like to dance? Don't dance"! -Amen.
I love to dance but until I was about 28 I was embarrassed by this. Guys are not supposed to like dancing for some reason. I love it, it's fun and I don't care who knows it. I just wanna dance!! I work for a large company and most of my peers are middle aged conservative white dudes. I'm a weirdo to them but what I've found is that the less I conform, the more I'm respected or thought of as a "leader". Authenticity goes a long way.
