This has always been my philosophy. Most people look around and see what everyone else is doing and assume because that is the most popular course of action that it is correct. The entrepreneur looks around and sees that when everyone is doing something a certain way there is opportunity in doing the exact opposite. Thanks for the great post.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him… The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself… All progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

When taking risks there is always a 50-50 chance. Either it gets better or the other way round. I admire your courage. It’s high time I summon up some myself. Thanks for such an inspiring read.

That’s a great article. It is so true. One started a business with a goal in mind and you must keep that goal in your line of sight and adjust your surroundings to adapt to your goals. For example, a business owner was asking me how he can make his sales team better. After some questions, I found that he was adjusting to his sales team (surroundings) to what they can do instead of the other way around.

As you mentioned…your surroundings are indeed important. They can make or break you (literally).

As an example…I’m in Ohio where Midwesterners are a bit more laid back than others. It’s something I always keep in mind.

Good post Dawud! I guess being unreasonable is a way of being unique, one-of-a-kind, which is important in business.However, one must be careful not to overdo it.

The article is explicitly focused toward creating your own path, instead of following the already traversed path. The article is highly motivating and immensely thought provoking. The quote that is “The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him… The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself… All progress depends on the unreasonable man.” The statement is very true, but it requires lot of risk, courage and innovation. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful peace of text.

Interesting thoughts but can’t you make an argument for the exact opposite. Haven’t we heard time and time again if you want to be successful find someone that has done what you are trying to do and then duplicate them? I see what you are saying but i also think when you veer to far away from the trail you get lost.

Hi David, I agree completely with what you’re saying. I read a quote recently that said (and I paraphrase) “You are successful when you can choose to think for yourself and take the actions you know you need to take, even if they make you unpopular.” Your sentiments echo these thoughts, thank you for a great post.

Cheers, Niro
