Stinging Wisdom

 "Men go crazy in congregations. They only get better one by one."

— Sting, "All This Time"

I believe that when people start thinking along with a group, they stop improving their independent thinking skills. If you want to make real progress in life, a good way to do so is to separate yourself from whatever groups you belong to and reevaluate if what that group says comports with what you actually think. If it does, then by all means return to that group. If not, then go your own way. Whatever your conclusions, at least you’ll know you reached them independently.

Wisdom about money, investing and life can be found anywhere.
