Don't follow the crowd until you are sure you want to be where they're going.

About This Quote

When people follow the crowd, they don't really know where they are going to end up. If they get lost, they can't go back and find their own path. If they get confused, they can't turn around and see the road again. This quote is a good reminder that it's important to think for yourself and not just follow the crowd because you think it's the right thing to do. Instead, think about what you want out of life and then do what you think is best for you.
