Think for Yourself.
We human beings tend to be incredibly conventional animals. We get ideas from our parents, from our schooling, from the people around us. And that becomes how we think about everything in the world. We stop thinking for ourselves,
You need to be fearless. You need to be able to get rid of everything you’ve ever believed in before. You need to get rid of all the strategies you’ve used before. All the conventional ideas.
Commandment: You need to think for yourself and not be tied to what other people have told you is reality.
― Robert Greene, The Daily Laws, p. 358
