John Mason once stated, 'You were born original, do not die a copy.' Now if all five fingers of your hand were similar, how would you distinguish between them? Many a time, people try to fit in and submerge themselves in a herd just like sheep. They blindly follow one another. Humans by nature have a tendency to want to fit into the crowd, to look and sound just the same as everyone else. We as social beings are inclined to blend in with everyone else, conforming to their values and ideas. We find safety in numbers. Insecurity is real- especially in a hyper competitive college environment and the need to want to be identified and praised is something most of us would prefer. But here's what we don't know. No one ever achieved anything or made a difference by conforming to the standards of people around them. In a noisy world where everybody seems to be shouting their lungs out, it is important for your ideas and thoughts to stand out of the crowd. In life, it is important to make a mark for yourself and stand up on your own feet because if you want something you've never had, then you must be willing to do something you've never done. The masses are mediocre and you are capable of doing more. You are unique with your own skills and ideas so don't waste your time by being the same as everyone else. Frankly, the mob would just dumb you down. Don't let them think for you. The longer you conform to a crowd, the harder it is to break away. Most of us don't think of a conscious plan to stand out. We have learned to blend in. You will be over looked during promotions, at the market place and ignored for the most important opportunities. It is mandatory to quit blending yourself in with the rest of the world. Being bold and fearless is a much more rewarding way to live. It is key to understand that the comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. Great people make it happen, average people let it happen but the crowd asks, 'What happened?'. So how do you stand out from the crowd?? First off, you need to be comfortable with who you are. You must have the confidence to be unique and the strength to let your individuality shine. More often than not, it is not about the outward appearance, but about generating a sense of admiration from others to yourself and being someone special and worthy to look up to. Decide what standing apart from the crowd means to you. Standing apart from the crowd maybe trying to live your best and being your best. Think for yourself. Be prepared to voice your differences, your concerns and your preferences. Don't be swayed by the crowd. Learn to respond to insistent people who tell you you're missing out on something if you don't join in. Take a chance, take risks and work hard. Do things differently. Do what you say you'll do. Always try to take initiative. Wear what suits you. Don't try to copy styles that would just make you look like a wannabe. Always be attentive and remind people how great they are. It takes nothing to join a crowd and it takes everything to stand alone. Why fit in when you were born to stand out? - Humirah
