Though everyone tends to believe they are the arbiters of truth and what is right, the 18th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer disagrees. His stance was that too many rely on other people's opinions. His proposal is that we spend more time thinking for ourselves, coming to our own conclusions, and investigating the world through our own eyes instead of relying on some other authority.

We should all be reading and learning and bettering ourselves—there's no question in that—but we should also be spending time with our own thoughts, and finding ways of navigating the world independent of what others say.
