Are you conformist of innovator?

Would you rather live a long, peaceful and secure life, or you wiling to risk, rebel and try to get from life as much as you can get? Would you rather swim with the current or swim in direction that you feel is right, even if it is against the current?

Hi! I prefer to live by both. I mean Ill live with conformity up until I get a stable job that would let me save up to travel on most months and then when Im satisfied with the work Ive done Ill do everything that Ive ever wanted to do. I guess that would start sometime when Im 35 or something like that. Right now Im just trying to get through to college while still being able to live each day to the fullest that I can.^_^

I think I have been swimming against the flow all of my life. At first I found it difficult. I tried to conform. I was never happy. As I grew up I found it was better to be myself and not always try to conform. It really is not important what other people think of me. When I became less self-conscious, less shy, more outgoing and outspoken, I found I began to enjoy life much more. I would rather take a risk now and do things my own way than follow what everyone else does. I really don't care if people don't like my way of living. It's my life and I am independent. I can choose to live in a different way from others, provided I live within the law and don't do any harm to anyone or anything. I do try to be a good person and I am probably more tolerant and less judgemental than those people who feel they must conform.
