Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.
You dont need to convince everyone. All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you.
Do you believe in what you do? Every day? It turns out that belief happens to be a brilliant strategy.
Anyone who says failure is not an option has also ruled out innovation.
Either you defend the status quo, or you invent the future.
I'm not proposing that you let the crowd dictate, or that you work hard to fit in. Far from it. I'm proposing that you know the impact your choices are having and act accordingly.
