Contrarians

A contrarian is a person with a preference for taking a position opposed to that of the majority view prevalent in the group of which they are a part.

Five of my favorite contrarian quotes:

1. "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful." Warren Buffett

2. “It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.” Andre Gide

3. “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman

4. “A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.” Oscar Wilde

5. Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity" Will Smith
