Crowd Mentality

Crowd mentality

A crowd is large number of people gathered in a public place such as a street or at a game. Mentality is particular attitude or way of thinking of person or group. Crowd mentality is the way of thinking of a crowd.

 I have not seen a crowd being celebrated for great achievements rather the crowd celebrates a person. People are relevant and have left lasting impact in their world are people who refuse to follow the mentality of the crowd. They do their things in a way that are a little different from what everybody else does. These people live by principles that they cannot break no matter the consequence of these principles. They are never moved by what people say about them. This difference is what set them apart for greatness.

In history over time, all reasonable and great inventions were done by individual for example electricity by Michael Faraday, light bulb by Thomas Edison, automobile by Henry Ford, computer by Charles Babbage except aero plane that was discovered by the Wright brothers. A close look at the life of such people reveals a particular pattern of thinking, activities, choices, values and priority different from all other people.

The crowd is always lead by a single person however large it is. Have you thought of leading people? Then work on yourself to be different from people then you can lead them. Crowd mentality simply means thinking such as everybody is doing it, who has ever done it. How sure I am that I can do it, what people will say if I fail.

            The crowd is a place of follower ship and dependence, except you take a step out of the crowd you will remain a mediocre. Learn how to beat your own drum, sing your own song and dance your own dance. There is a better place out of the crowd.  

             In the animal kingdom, the lion, the king of animals is always alone and works with the mentality of a winner. It does not mingle with other animals least it becomes part of the crowd. The eagle, the greatest of all birds flies alone which depict greatness, authority and single mindedness.

In the Bible most people that receive their miracles from Jesus Christ took a step out of the crowd. The blind bathemaus and the woman with the issue of the blood and others took a step out of the crowd to receive their miracles.

Like the blind Bathemaus, the crowd will always shout at you telling you suggestions that expose your limitation and every possibility   of not making it. But you have got to give a deaf ear, march on and write your name on the sand of time. You are welcome to the league of history makers.
