Fit In or Stand Out?

Since young, our environment and culture always nudges us towards being accepted by others. Others perception and view towards us are so important that it became part of our life.

You see, there are two ways to be accepted. You can fit in to the majority (meaning: another Joe Average standing in a long queue), doing things normally just because 'others do the same too' or 'others expect me to do that'. You might as well try fitting yourself in a small box and mail yourself away.

Or, you can stand out from the majority (meaning: being a leader or rock band superstar) and living your life graciously. Pursue your dream, do things that you love and be a source of inspiration for people around you.

You can either fir in or stand out. Not both!
