Both.
I've followed my heart and my passions, hacked out my own path, but acknowledge that conforming has, on occasion, been prudent and useful. Sometimes necessary.
Have you been a person to follow the flock or create your own path?
That depends on what the flock is doing. I will follow if it seems like fun and isn't hurting anyone. But I was raised to think for myself and be independent. So whatever the moment calls for i do.
I prefer to blaze my own trail. It's done me well in my life.
I've tooted my own horn for most of my life.
I blazed my own trail, and left the "Wanna-be's" behind.
I'm not much of a follower, Zack.
This is a tough question. As I have gotten older, I could care less what people think of me. If I am confident in what I am doing then I am a great leader. If I have a boss I am a great follower. I have been known to be the ring leader and I have been known to be the stupid left nut being dragged along by the p3nis! Lol!
I guess it depends on the situation at hand.
Well, like that old motivational poster, I went where no-one else had gone and left a trail.
Would have saved a lot of time, effort, and disappointment had I just looked at a map first.
Just kidding---I am somewhat of a trailblazer though.
