WHAT DOES BEING DIFFERENT MEAN?
GUYS, I think, Being different means:- Not being afraid to challenge the norm.- Being willing to take a chance.- Asking why.- Making your track, not just following the well-trodden path.- Charting your course and destiny.- Being the person that you were meant to be.
I believe that everyone is born unique. But through the years we work very hard to be like everyone else. We conform to society’s so-called “common sense.” Unfortunately, it is just that – “common sense.” That does not mean it's “good sense.”
THE FOLLY OF EDUCATION.
If I were to take just the people in this room, most of you have likely spent anything from 15 to 20 years getting an education so you can get the jobs you have. Doesn’t it strike you as irresponsible that one can spend so much time getting an education and yet so many people don’t make any deliberate effort to develop their greatest asset – themselves!
Most people think once they have a qualification that’s it. They have arrived. Is it any wonder they don’t grow? They are stagnant. Stuck at 18!
Most of us won’t even read unless there’s an exam insight. But you know what? Every day of your life is an exam. Every day you either pass or fail the test of life. Every day is an opportunity to grow beyond your present barriers and circumstances. Every day is a chance to become a better person.
The saddest part is most people don’t realize this. If they had to be graded at the end of their lives you know what they’d get? D, D, and more D’s. And yet they thought they were doing very well. They let society’s “common sense” grade them.
MY ADVICE?
If I can leave you with one piece of advice it would be this: READ
Society celebrates mediocrity so much that it does not take much to set yourself above the rest. Doing that one thing regularly will put you way above the rest. Read books that challenge you and that make you think.
I have decided to read at least one book every month. I’m already amazed at the results.
