There are certain things we want to do that feel like such risks! Standing out is one of them. History shows us that the ones who stood out, were the ones denigrated and, quite frequently, had their heads chopped off. It’s instinctive in us.
Truth is though, there’s a lot of ‘beige’ on Twitter. It’s really very, very boring.
There is a particular person who comments on quite a lot of my posts and I am grateful for the interaction but, and I am sorry for saying this, I often think “meh” when I get it. I get the same feeling when I visit said person’s profile.
Do forgive me, it is ungenerous but I like what I like, you will understand this.
Standing out means certain things.
You have something to say.
You say it in a colourful way.
You’re not afraid to have people disagree.
You make a principled stand for you and for me.
My theme for today is beauty.
Infuse your work with personality, some grace yet also some assertiveness.
Get people thinking.
