Hello @chbartist!
Taking the road less traveled often becomes the best decision, especially when you know that what others do continues to do the same without getting a single positive result, and it seems that they do not realize or want to evade the problem. That is where we have to be good judging the situation, and see objectively what is best for us to achieve our goals and dreams.
The problem of staying doing the things that others do is that not all things have to work for each of us, what works for me probably does not work for another person, and what works for that other person does not work for me.
We have to develop our plans based on our personal needs, and the needs of our projects. And there many times it comes as a solution to take the road less traveled.
Regards!!!
