Not Like the Others...

In the picture above, which window is not like the others?

How about the bottom right window?  I mean, it is the only window with the curtains equally opened to each side.  Ok, not that one.

Maybe the far left window in the center row?  It is the only window that is architecturally squared to the building, with the curtains fully closed.  Not that one?  OK.

Or, the upper left window?  It is the only upper left window.  HA!

Enough silliness...this is serious business.  Its the bottom left window that is not like the others, ain't it?  The one that is all whoppy-jawed.
The one that really catches your attention.
That makes you wanna say, "What the...?"
The one that makes the other eleven seem "blah."
Yeah, its that one.

"Excellence does not fit in with mediocrity."  Nice, huh?

"There is great power in our difference."  Good one.

"Be different or be forgotten."  Beats the you-know-what outta Go Along to Get Along, don't it?

"Stand up and stand out!"  The complete opposite of Shut Up and Sit Down...sweet.

And...as Harry Millner said..."All progress occurs because people dare to be different."  That be true, what Harry said: All Progress.  Occurs. Because. People Dare. To Be Different.

So blend in if you wanna...but its really OK to be not like the others when the time calls for it.  Really.

In fact, its when you are not like the others (in a good way, of course) that we remember you best.

One last one: "The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different."  (Peter Drucker)
