The need of the hour is INNOVATION. No more monkey see, monkey do.

Monkey saw, Monkey did
Time to INNOVATE

Let's go back 6 million years, around the time when the first hominid/hominid-like species learnt how to walk on two feet. For argument's sake, lets believe that one of them walked on two legs before anyone else. 

Monkey see, Monkey do.

Now, if "monkey would've seen and not done"

we might not have been alive today. That would've been the beginning and the end of our evolution. 

What i'm trying to convey is, humans like other animals have behaved as a species i.e, similar behavior of every individual in a species. And that has had tremendous survival advantages.

When it comes to high performance, the majority is always wrong.

But that isn't necessary anymore, because we as a species have survived the threat from all the other animals.

Which brings me to my next point.

The need of the hour is INNOVATION. No more monkey see, monkey do. So start thinking in your own innovative, creative, unique way and stop following the herd!
Now, what does innovation mean?
I think it means the ability to think of a solution, in a completely new way; Or to ask questions in a way different than before; Or when the questions are the same but "The answers have changed!".

As  Paul Rulkens tells us in the following TEDx talk, "we think within well defined boundaries". "Within the framework" of our respective industry, school, society etc.

"Only 3% of people are able to achieve extra-ordinary results" in their respective fields.

What are these 3% doing differently? 

They are willing to think outside the "very small box" that is considered the norm of their fields, and think in their own way.
So break out of the norms\framework of your respective field, whatever it may be, break out of that "very small box" and "go to the happy place where cool innovation happens!"
