"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." Many people we consider successful have had very difficult and unique roads to where they are now, such as Bill Gates who dropped out of Harvard. Don't set sail using someone else's star also tells us that just because someone was successful going down their own road doesn't mean everyone will be successful going down that same road, this is shown by the following, "The road to success is not a path you find but a trail you blaze." - Robert Brault
