Don't just stand there

I'm standing on the curb with a group of people. We all need to get somewhere, but we're not sure how to get there. I stepped off the curb and started walking, and everyone followed me. After we had been walking for a while, people started complaining about why we were walking this way instead of that way, and why was I the leader, and did I even know where I was going. I informed them that I merely stepped off the curb and they began following -- I did not invite them to follow me. I also informed them that I may not know where I am going, but at least I was willing to step off the damn curb and attempt to make it to my destination, which is more than I could say about the rest of them.
