Most people will do exactly as they are told to do, won’t ever question the rules, and will believe that by doing so, they’ll get farther in life. While this may have once been the case, in a time when assembly lines were hip, the exact opposite is true now. In the age of technology, success awaits only those who are willing to break the rules, stand out from the crowd, and be daringly, unflinchingly, unapologetically DIFFERENT.
All I can say is AMEN. Words to live by (and I have for most of my life thus far).
Yeah. It was a handicap as a kid, but hell, now being weird is a career path.
Hahaha, you’re definitely the epitome of this ethos Lisa and I love that
I think this piece made a great point of explaining how this change came about. Conformity once WAS the path to success and a stable life. Now it’s increasingly a liability. “Fortune favors the bold” is finally becoming true, not just a nice saying.
