“To be successful, you need to be an independent thinker”
— Ray Dalio

Simplified Meaning:
To achieve success, it’s important to think for yourself and not just follow what others do. Imagine you're in a group, and most people say the sky is green even though it’s blue. If you trust your eyes and say it’s blue, you’re using your own judgment instead of just agreeing with everyone else. In history, many inventors and leaders became successful because they had new ideas that were different from what most people thought. For example, when everyone believed the earth was flat, Galileo said it was round, and he was right. To apply this in your life, don’t be afraid to have your own opinions and ideas, even if they are different from others. Trust your instincts and think critically about situations to find your own path to success.
