Herdism
The ideas surrounding Herdism are having a defining quality about yourself. You should always have
something that allows you to stand out from the rest of the "herd" such as being the best at something or
having done something that no one else has. Herdism is the idea of not leaving life on a bad note, doing
something meaningful or something that changed the world before kicking the bucket.
1.) Never settle for anything that your not the best at.
2.) Being satisfied doesnt get you anywhere.
3.) Don't become part of the "herd" or common people.
4.) Be on your own level, not the level of everyone else.
5.) Plan ahead, do the boring stuff now, and reap the rewards later.
6.) Avoid peer pressure, always do what you know will make you better.
7.) Eyes on the prize, setbacks will happen, learn from them and keep going.
I guess if i could sum up this philosophy, its sort of like having an inferiority complex, be the best and dont let
anyone beat you. Have something that makes you more than the ordinary, average human being and take
pride in the fact that you have it. This is important because not nearly enough people are ambitious, they just take what they have and accept that its all theyre going to get. I think if more people stroved to be the best that they could be then then world would be a better place.
