I like your response and tone. And the article.

But:

> Agreed, but that's why the majority of the world ends up living life as a cog.

This to me, amounts to: You are a failure (cog) if you don't do your own thing and "follow your dreams".

I don't agree with anything in that statement. I would ask readers to really think about why "following dreams" is important. Is it related to happiness? What if skills and dreams are completely out of reach from each other? Is it really just going to set someone up for failure/depression etc.

As I say, I like the sentiment, but feel there is little analysis to the thought.
