How To Stand Out From The Crowd
Don’t create a resume. Craft a soul
Meet Spark. Caught between two worlds, Spark was exactly like every other frog in his pond with one notable exception. Spark emerges from a tadpole with a slight but noticeable orange spot. And this orange spot makes Spark feel uncomfortably different.
What’s more, Spark begins to make a disconcerting observation; when Spark does things which make him feel better (and produce more positive results) the orange spots increase. Spark is left with a difficult decision; be normal, which makes him less conspicuous, or continue doing those things which make him happier, more productive and more orange.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a visible orange spot which can expand and tell us if we are in the right direction.
How then do you stand out in a crowd of 7.8 billion people?
