We spend too much time distracting ourselves from what matters. Business models increasingly prioritize amusement over making things better.

When you couldn't be more different, but you're still able to chill out together and just enjoy life.

Mama Cass Elliot - Different

I'm "different" on a number of axes. And I've come to accept and even celebrate those differences. Who want to be the same as everyone else?

If one is odd & I have had a work colleague call me "different" after working together 4 maybe some 20 years. And that opinion was shared among her co-workers.
Hard to get acceptance when #Different. My parents did not. Neither did G. school! Enough said.

Met a German lady @ a beach, in Canada a few month ago. Asked why she emigrated. Her answer: "Her kids were neurodivergent & the German school system did not accept neurodivergent."

I have been reading Frans de Waal's amazing book #Different and somehow Tom Gauld's cartoon here really seems to sum it up...

#First of #all, it's #good to #know what type of #investor I am. I can #focus on quick #profits and then follow #trends without considering the distant #future, or I can invest for the future. In the latter case, I am basically uninterested in current trends and only focus on what I think will make a lot of sense in the future. So in both cases I will choose completely #different instruments or entities.

Those who worry too much about fitting in don't focus on being who and what they truly are. When we are comfortable with ourselves, we don't look like a copy of someone else. And that's when insecure people call us "different."
