I have recently discovered that this pretty obvious statement is true : if you don't do anything different from everyone else, you don't stand out from everyone else.
If you stand out from the crowd, you get recognised more easily. So my question is, how are you (or someone you know) different from the crowd? For example, I have a friend at my work, he has an unusual type of car, he drinks coca-cola with cherry or with vanilla or lime (when you see it in the staff room refridgerator you immediately know that its his). It can be silly things, like how you greet people, or how you eat ,or sleep, or talk, anything really!
Here is a list of my differences:
- I am left handed, verses the more popular right.
- I use a Mac rather than a PC,
- I am gay, rather than straight,
- I don't agree with giving cards on occasions because the majority of the time they get trashed soon afterwards, however I don't extend this rule to people who don't know me too well because it may come across as being ignorant!
- I have a very refined taste in clothes and music. I don't mean that in the snobby sense, but in the sense than I am extremely picky about what I like, extremely picky!
- I have a favourite brand of bottled water.
- I have a distinct aftershave which when everyone smells it they know its me.
- I never go into a clothes shop if I am wearing clothes than I bought from it.
I can't think of any more, but basically just post how you are different from others, whether you do it intentionally or by accident or you might just be born different (in appearance) or your name may be unusual or spelt a different way from the norm. i.e. my name is Shaun. Sean is a more popular spelling, however I prefer Shawn.
