If you're like me and don't walk with the other followers, then you'll appreciate the title to this post.
I decided umpteen years ago that I would take an original path and not be concerned with the way others did things. Actually, little did I realise at the time that it was completely out of my control anyway.
At the age of 16 and hearing about how everyone's parents were paying off a house for 30 years, and would probably never pay it off, I decided that I would work out a system to pay off my house quickly, then I wouldn't have the massive debt that everyone complained about.
How? I saved instead of getting a loan. Easy if you belong out of the box (as previously implied, I don't step out of the box, I was never in there in the first place). Fourteen years later I owned my own house.
Later, I wanted to write a novel (I have always written, but never something so immense). Three months later, novel written! Three years after that, I have learned how to edit so my book is actually readable and enjoyable and easily read. I wrote another two novels, have five more on the go and have many short stories available online.
