Originality. Uniqueness. The unexpected. The fun. The playful. The memorable.
Were we rewarded for those things in school?
Nope.
But we sure are now. Here’s the good news: if you felt left out of things in school, like you didn’t get it or if you got bored in class, always daydreaming and wishing there was more to life than a stuffy classroom, things are looking very bright right now.
This is your time.
If you’ve ever felt weird or different, stop hiding it. Start flaunting it. Start talking about it, and definitely be willing to share it.
I suspect you might have some wild success waiting.
