HOW TO QUESTION THE ACCEPTANCE OF POPULAR THINKING
- Think Before You Follow
- Appreciate Thinking Different from Your Own
- Continually Question Your Own Thinking
- Try New Things in New Ways

"If you embrace unpopular thinking and make decisions based upon what works best and what is right rather than what is commonly accepted, know this: in your early years, you won’t be as wrong as people think you are. In your later years, you won’t be as right as people think you are. And all through the years, you will be better than you thought you could be."
