Conformists and Nonconformfists

According to a 'Mad Magazine' 60% of us clods are conformists. That is he like the security of the herd and feel safe doing what everyone else seems to be doing. Then another 39% of us are ordinary nonconformists. That is they don't follow the majority, but do follow reach other. They are still playing the game of conformity. Then 1% of the population are Mad nonconformists. They truly don't care what other people think.

I think there is something in this. Doing what lots of other people seem to be doing appears to be sensible..

Change

Once upon I time I read an interesting book called 'An Index of possibilities'.


 On one page it simply asked the question
: WHO?


 This was followed by another question:


 WHO ARE YOU?
 Not so simple to answer to answer if it means more than your name.


The next question was

 WHO ARE YOU TO THINK?

How dare anyone think differently from the mob.


 Then
 WHO ARE YOU TO THINK THAT YOU COULD CHANGE?

How dare you change?

 And finally

WHO ARE YOU TO THINK THAT YOU COULD CHANGE THE WORLD?
