There is something to be said for thinking and living outside the box. Deviating form the norm can be a risky endeavor because you no longer fit within the norm and threaten the status quo. As the odd one out, you can be ostracized, ridiculed, misunderstood by society , and feel that there is something wrong with you, that you are "not normal". However difficult it may be, I would say to all those who don't fit the mold, who are not within the standard deviation of mediocrity: own your uniqueness, own you oddness, explode the standard paradigms that keep us imprisoned! That is where excellence resides, that is the fount of great ideas, that is where progress comes from and the space from which we can fully evolve as human beings.
