The main stem that will determine the type of person that you are starts in the house hold...at home. Your parents will teach you what's good and what's bad. They will teach you right from wrong. Going out into the world and having choices does NOT mean that you need to rebel and deliberately do the wrong or inappropriate thing. Do what will fit in the societal norm, but do it according to your own rules. Do it so that you can be unique in your choice and not have to conform to what you are told by the magazines and or the media. The media influences you a lot; but guess what?! Without you the consumer the big bad media would not exist. You are the fuel in the funnel. You, dear reader are the food that feeds the belly of the media; so without YOUR opinion and your influence: by the clothes that you wear, the lingo that you speak, the trends that you follow...the media will not be able to have a target audience.
So you see my friend, when they tell you not to wear a pink shirt because you're a 30 year old man living in the township...turn around and say: I WILL! When they tell you that wearing flat shoes to Sandton as a girl is unfashionable: walk that walk girl and show them you got swag. So basically, what I'm saying here is: free yourself from mental slavery, [because] none other can free your mind.
Think out loud, speak up when you're in a group. Have an opinion, it is what makes it YOUR own opinion, and ultimately, it is what makes you...YOU!:
