I've been told "You should really be doing things like this." I hear it about blogging, I hear it as a librarian, I hear it in the world of competitive strength, and I hear it from doctors who want to counsel me about Tourette's Syndrome. I listened for too long and it got me nowhere. My first response now when I heard I "should" do something is to ask, "Says who?" I don't discount the wisdom of others, but too many people let the ideas of others discourage their own free thinking.
