Being distinct...

..doesn't mean do something different, necessarily. That can actually make it worse as you leave your field of passion, of talent. No: decide to be better. Decide to be in the top 10% of your chosen field, whatever your field is: your team, the company, the world. Carpentry, policing, parenting. Decide to be in the top 10%.

It's actually not that hard to be really, really good. You need to:
1.Decide to be so
2.Stop worrying about what others think.
3.Take action.

Today would be a very good day to take a first action.
