Every one is doing it!! (peer pressure)
How many times have you heard the answer “everybody is doing it” when asking a certain question?
Maybe it’s the most popular answer among youth, they just try to find an excuse to do something so they say that this should be done because everyone is doing it. And since every one is doing it, it must be right.
Right?
Well, what’s really funny, if you took a look at those everybody and saw how do they live you will find that its really wrong to follow them. Just walk into the streets and see how is everybody doing, and ask yourself the following few questions:
- are everybody happy? Or most of them are down?
- do you find everyone singing and whistling in the street while driving, or you do find that most of them are cursing the traffic jam and each other?
- do you find everybody successful having all what they have dreamt of, or you do find that most of them failed to do so?
- do you find everybody healthy and in the form? Or you do find that most of the them are slim and overweight?
- and finally do you find everybody are totally satisfied with their lives? Or you do find most of them unhappy?
I don’t say that everyone is unhappy but am saying that many of the people that you follow are really not worth of being followed. If you want to follow someone follow the successful and you will find that they are usually a few percentage of any community and not everybody!!
Blindly acting like everyone without even thinking if you like that behaviour or not is a strong sign for lack of self confidence, you should only do what you feel like you want to do and not what’s everyone else is doing, be yourself don’t be a follower!!
