Ten Hut

Hypothetical:

There may be an advantage to being an outlier.

Always assuming, of course, that there is a growth and projection of worthy, interesting, exciting principles that are based on something solid.

An advantage, I mean, other than the romantic idea of a soul original in thought and uncompromising in direction and deed.

An advantage other than the black-and-white appeal of someone who is not a sell-out. 

That doesn't mean they have the satisfaction to the owner. 

Quite the reverse, most probably.

And if you just want to be good at what you do then maybe that's enough. That's why they call it 'good enough'.

But if you are a good person who is good at what they do, do you really get good rewards?

Or do you actually get little reward or recognition, or perhaps none at all?

What good is good?

And if good isn't even good? What the hell good is 'good enough'?

Start as an outlier and you are outside that game.

You don't play that game.

Your starting position is the opportunity to be outstanding.

It is inevitable that being an outlier is a subset... a requirement,  of being outstanding.

So why wait? 

Well for one thing, the trouble is you start without a safety net.

But do you really want to wait for somebody else to break the shell of your egg?

They are just as likely to do it with a heavy foot and damage the contents.

They are just as likely not to do it at all and let you auto-digest yourself.

Take the lead. 

Choose the corners you want to look round.

If timing is everything, then go by your watch.

Take action. 

Be your own revolution.

And time the rebellion.
