Politicians are like horses, they cannot go properly without blinkers.
Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault
We all live with blinders on. They come with having a personal vantage point.
Once the blinders are off, it's rather hard to go back to seeing things the way you used to.
Only a few bloggers have the audience and credibility to effectively break stories, pressure the traditional media, incubate new ideas, or raise real money. These influential bloggers are usually sharp, opinionated, and focused on the world 'offline.' They refuse to view events through the solipsistic blinders of their own websites.
I didn't really give a sh** what's going on in the rest of the world. I just didn't. I just wanted to focus on me, me, me, my career, my life, just me - blinders.
I got to wear blinders all the time so I won't think sideways or in the past.
I have some friends that just stick to the same criteria over and over again not realizing there are lots of other kinds of people and that may be what you like. People get in that mindset and put their blinders on.
A Mafia guy in Vegas gave me this advice: "Run your own race, put on your blinders."
I'm just a mule with blinders on, I can't help myself.
I don't want to live in a world with blinders on.
I'm sure there are some haters out there, but I just put my blinders on.
People don't see much further than their noses.
