why fit in when you are born to stand out?

The title says it all. I wrote that in an email once and sent it to my colleagues when I worked at MEED.

‘Why fit in when you are born to stand out?’ this statement changed my life and the person who constantly says it to me is my wife. I thank her for making me believe in it.

This article http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20130324141810-1714080-why-weirdos-outperform-normals stands a testament to what this is about.

Read the article, you will, like me agree that weird is good and it’s the weird ones who change the world.
