"Having established a solid career by the age of thirty-five, but still single, Sally is under great social pressure to marry the next man who comes along. Given society's suspicions and criticism of "old maids," she succumbs without thinking about the issues more radically and for herself. But Sally years later may come to know that she should have followed her own hunches about getting married. Laid off in a corporate downsizing when he is fifty-five, a man like Bill may find himself in deep regret that he bypassed the opportunity to pursue the career he always wanted in nursing and instead bought into the company-man image as the norm. Men in our society experience tremendous pressure to prove their masculinity through their income. But Bill lost by not daring to be different."

Learn to stand your ground.

Dare to be different.

Don't just do it because it feels or looks good.

Learn to think it through.

Don't conform to negative norms.

Stop living by other people's definition of success.

You've been chosen out of the masses. You're not one of them.

(The masses do not have their own opinion. They live by what other people think.)

It's time to take back your life-your real life-the one you gave away to live a normal life, ruled by what others think.
