WEEK 52

Day 358: On Acting Differently From Others

Unless you think that the majority of people are living successful lives,

chances  are  that  at  some  point  you  will  have  to  act  differently  from  those

around you. Success can take many forms and it is often about standing out

from the crowd or being above average, spotting when the crowd moves one

way and making sure that you move the other.

—Nigel Cumberland

 

358

It  takes  guts  to  stand  out  from  the  crowd  and  move  the  other  way

when, deep down, you know that it’s you who’s right and not everyone else.

Even if you’re a self-disciplined, mentally tough person, it’s still hard to go

against the crowd.

For  this  reason,  one  of  the  most  powerful  exercises  you  can  do  to

improve your chances of acting differently from others when you know that

you’re right is to practice holding your ground. If somebody tells you to do

something  in  a  given  way  but  you  don’t  understand  why,  ask  them  to

explain their request. If the explanation isn’t sufficient, suggest a different

way of doing things that you think might be better.

Note that this isn’t about confrontation for the sake of confrontation.

It’s  an  exercise  in  questioning  doing  things  in  a  given  way  just  because

“that’s how they’ve been done until now,” but nobody knows why.

This way, you get to learn (on a small scale) how it feels when you’re

opposing the current,  and this experience will help you hold your ground

when the stakes are higher.
