Most people recognize the benefits of individuals, but the fact is that personal economics success requires conformity.
Which is more essential for personal success, individuality or conformity? The statement assumes the latter. However, after carefully examining the advantages and disadvantages of individuality and conformity, I consider it necessary for us to make judgments on a case-by-case analysis. For those fields dealing with capital--stock, funds, currency-- and industries concerning on high-tech or information, the demand for individuality outweighs that of conformity; while in highly developed industries, adverse.
One feature of the capital pools is fluctuation, along with which goes high risk and high reward. It is a game with numerous people involved. in such fields high risk and high reward go hand in hand. A person may be a millionaire overnight, while more people suffer from the nightmare of losing their properties with despair. In such a rapidly changing market, opportunities come and goes quickly and quietly, with no greetings or warnings. To make a judgment, investors or operators have no time to hold a meeting and have a discussion, nor do they have the chance to learn from traditional experience. In most time, they depend on themselves--on their knowledge, information, deduction, assumption and even instinct. Warren Buffert and George Soros make their sensational profits not from conformity with the trends but from their individual wisdom.
As for industries dealing with high-tech and information, such as software developments and biomedicine researches, new ideas and new assessments are desired. In such a era when science and technology is advancing so dramatically that the information industry takes a brand-new look every day, what is popular may be washed out tomorrow. In order to survive and even to thrive, the best way is to find other approaches better and faster to solve the problems. In this situation, individuality-- going in a personal way, rather than conformity--going in a group way, is demanded.
Of course, conformity is also playing an essential role in the economic world, especially in mature industries emphasizing skills and experiences, such as manufacture industry. After hundreds of years, the best and most efficient method for production has been discovered and commonly recognized; as a result, to make the most profits an individual have to act in conformity thus making the most of experiences and skills accumulated since the industry came into being. The use of the assembly line invented by Henry Ford is still highly valued and commonly applied in manufacturing industries because it is proved to be the most efficient. By simply using the method recommended by society for manufacture, an individual saves both time and resources while getting the most profitable approach for production.
Individuality and conformity both maintain advantages and withdraws. It is too presumptuous to simply draw the assertion that one is better than the other. To make an object judgment, we should consider the reality of the economic world and carefully examine the feather of each of the industries.
