When it comes to high performance, nothing new will be achieved by following the crowd. It’s precisely the deviation from the norm that allows us to forge new, unexplored paths. Sometimes nothing new happens and we simply learn more about what didn’t work. Learning more about the scope of the problem, is in its own way, still valuable progress.

“If you do what everyone else is doing, you’re not distinguishing yourself, and you’re probably stuck.”
