intellectuality
I learned along time ago, people will throw you under a bus, even if for their own amusement
so I try not to go with the popular consensus

Hi Clashing Twilight,
A mix of them both. My own intellectuality tells me I'm not right all the time and although I am 'driven' in that I determinedly work towards my goals, if influences around me suggest I'm going around it the wrong way, I will adapt to what experience or other people might show me.
I love to work towards a certain goal and if this goal relates to the influences around me: i.e. I do a lot for our local community, I am driven by the needs of the community and hopefuly I will use my intellectuality in a way to bring about positive results.

I think you need a natural sense of curiosity as a part of intellect, and that may very well drive your beliefs one way or another. Living in a foreign country makes you appreciate things that you might not even think about otherwise.
If you are never driven to change by that around you, then your living in a self-imposed vacuum, and may as well be in the White House, unwilling, or unable to change, convinced your right, while everyone else is wrong.

Always by my own intellectuality, however outside influences do play apart in my responses and actions to my environment and the paths that I chose

I refuse to be influenced by very much outside of me. I close out the world as often as I can. The things I do come from my internal workings whether it be intellectual, creative, emotional or anything else, it is me. I will not drive you to something and you can't drive me to anything.

The truth behind this question lies deep in our minds,back to when we where just babies.We have grown and will always grow with influences,it was the influences in our young life that has enabled us to have the intellect that we have today.If we deny the influences around us we avoid all of the opportunities to increase our intellect to its highest capacity,knowing this is what drives me to use one in harmony with the other. I'm glad that you asked this question.

partly both. but for the most part i am driven by my own intellectuality. i don't let others influence me becausethen i would lose my capbility to be driven by my own intellectuality. it is not that i am not affected by their infuences, but i don't let it control my decisions and overshadow my choices. if i dfid, then i wouldn't have independence over myself. =)

My understanding is that my intuition holds the wheel.
My empathy and compassion discuss aloud
the map which they hold, as a guide of sorts.
Influences around are the beauty and wonders,
but I remain ever-mindful to keep wary of
the myriad roadblocks and physical graffiti
which loom.

I go by myself all the time. No one can influence me in anything, I might ask but I do not let them actually decide for me.
