Daring to be Different

in #writing6 years ago

If I keep on doing what everyone else is doing then I will keep on getting what everyone else has got.

It is a statistical fact, compiled and substantiated by the various insurance companies around the world that at the age of 65, 95% of people are either dead or dead broke and only 5% are financially independent.

Therefore out of 100 people we know, 95 of them will, at the age of 65, be totally dependent on whatever old age retirement funds, EPF, of their relatives for their sustenance and only 5 person will be able to continue to live the same lifestyle they enjoyed when they were working.

A question you might want to ask yourself right now is: which group do you intend to belong to, the 5% or the 95%?

If your answer is the 5%, faster come and follow me, be my friends.... Haha

Therefore by doing only the normal, only the average is likely or can be expected. The average being a perception born of this norm, can, is and should be constantly challenged by those who visualize and see things differently. This challenging of the perceived or accepted norm by those dreamers however requires great courage because when this perceived normal is challenged the average person will not and in some cases won't want to, understand, consequently they criticize, laugh at and generally ridicule those who act and think differently.

Only by DARING to be different and to do the uncommon things in different ways, we can achieve great things, it is the dreamers who live their dream, thus giving them life.

And I want to be one of them.
