Most people spend their lives trying to fit in and yet somehow secretly expect to stand out from the crowd. Early programming has taught most of us to be humble and not to be proud.
Most of us were never taught the difference between pride and arrogance.
I believe we were ALL born to stand out! We are all unique in the skills, abilities, personalities and purpose we have been blessed with.
The last thing we should do is blend in to the crowd. People want to have outstanding resumes
and yet those same people want to learn how to fit in at work when they do get the job. Why is it some people just “stand out” and leave lasting impressions on us while others we meet are quickly forgotten? Some people leave us feeling better about ourselves and the world around us.
Others brighten the room by leaving. The difference between someone who stands out and the ones who just blend in isn’t necessarily huge. Most times the smallest differentiation can be the key to establishing your uniqueness and brilliance. The difference between a smile and a frown is only a few muscles. The difference between a positive response and a negative one is just a few words. The difference between a great tip and a poor one is just a few bucks. The difference between a well-written post or email and a poorly-written one is just a few minutes.
