It's a matter of balance. Too much "open door" mentality, and you'll never achieve anything that distinguishes you from the rest. You won't create a new trend if you're always chasing the latest trends.



But for me finding that holy balance is in itself is tiring. some times the contents are no engaging and so it feels easier to skip through the slacking and get some work done. But in other times it is hard. The balance of this mechanism seems so dynamics.


I honestly think it's quite far fetched to connect the two - open door; and trendseeker.


But that's what open door means in this metaphor: "staying aligned with the field", i.e., following the mainstream trends.
