Wow this is great. Reading this just made me feel good.
Ive been disconnected from cable TV for 2 years almost except when at a friends or at family members, but ive noticed a big change since ive had so much time to think freely.
Ive never realized that the mind is such a big place. Thoughts flow through my head daily on the next step im going to take and not just whats happening at the present moment.
For me being a teenager, i noticed independence through clothing and music. I dont listen to the radio ever and i dont wear Vans or True Religions ive developed my own taste in fashion and clothing.
Independent thought is something everyone should use, forget the media and mainstream stuff. Just explore the world and your mind!

Hello . Attempting to understand and readily sympathising with comments made regarding independent thinkers , my view is that not enough of them act on their own thoughts ,if more of these independent thinkers acted on their thoughts the world in my view would be far more interesting .

‘You will see opportunities and solutions that others overlook. You will obtain a competitive advantage over less creative thinkers’
This, to me, does not sound very original, creative, or constructive. So is the purpose of all of this advice here just to prove to ourselves and others that we are better than everyone else (and can exploit and take advantage of them in the process)? If this is the case, then Tom O’Leary you are NOT an independent thinker, just another mindless drone who has fallen for the lie that, in order to be ’successful’ (how society has defined that term, i.e. a greedy, selfish and self-absorbed multi-millionaire – like Paris Hilton) one needs to compete with, and if possible, impoverish and disempower one’s ‘opponents’.
Apart from this major flaw, the advice is actually good. It’s a shame that he had to ruin it like this at the end.
