Good advice.

It's important to be unique, not to follow others.
People will respect you much more if you are better than average, better person, caring, different from others...
No one likes mediocrity, but everyone follow good examples around them
Be such example!

Do what you want is sometimes a back burner since it doesnt pay well. Much like 99% of the rat race have to put up with working just to get by.

I agree. If we don't have a sharp mind there is always someone with weaker mind than ours out there.

I actually do agree with the idea behind this post. Do what you want. It's your life, after all.

No but I certainly appreciated his post.

Thank you aradzi.

Can you tell us what you're smoking

Hey! That's the same thing I was going to say.  

I thought I was unique.

Dank? Is that you?

Since I leave my corporate life, I got to experience starting my day with a quiet time in my house. I have a nice comfy ratan recliner I curl up in with my cup of coffee. My chair is located in my porch that faces the to east, so every morning I get to watch the beauty of the dawn.
Some mornings I am there so early that the sun hasn't risen yet. I enjoy watching the stars twinkle in the pre-dawn. Slowly the sun begins to rise, and light begins to push back the darkness. The process is fascinating. Some mornings I am treated to a spectacular sunrise scene. The colors bouncing off the nearby clouds give me a pleasing light show. I watch the colors change from pink to purple to orange to yellow.
Other mornings it's stormy outside, and all I see are storm clouds angrily racing across the sky. There's magnificence in the power of the storm as it marches through affecting everything around.
And then there are the mornings where nothing particularly spectacular is going on. The sky is clear, and as the sun rises, it quietly bursts forth onto the scene lighting the earth.
I sat there in my quiet chair enjoying the view recently and realized how blessed I am to look at the same direction and see so many different skies. Each sky, so very different, has its own intrinsic beauty. The skies don't try to look like each other. They don't try to be anything they are not. They are different, and they are beautiful.
Each one of us is different. Each of us has our own personality, talents, gifts, and ideals. When we take what is uniquely us and use it to build our businesses, we end up with products or services that are noticeable, distinguished, and distinct. And there is tremendous beauty in that.
Don't try to be like everyone else you see. Take time to find out what your passion is and pursue it. Find that element in you that makes you stand out from the crowd and develop it. Do not be afraid to be unique. As you nurture your individuality, your business will be noticed because no one can do it just like you.
