Dare to be different!

You should do as we say! This is tradition, this is the way we have always done things,you should conform.

Conform. What a word, conform! If everyone conformed to everything, what a boring place the world would be.

Throughout time,those who have questioned and asked why have changed the course of history and invariably have made the world a better, more progressive place.

At age 10 Albert Einstein dropped out of primary school, saying the teachers could no longer teach him anything new. He then started teaching himself.

There are only a few who dare to question; most of us are followers who never question anything.

I urge you today, stand up and start asking questions. Why,for what reason and why should I? Encourage your children to ask questions, to be curious and to find new meaning in old things.

Whenever you stand up for what you believe in, you are often alone; never mind, pursue and see where it leads.

Did you know that Bill Gates dropped out of university and later created Microsoft Corporation?

Now, I am not saying that you should drop out of school or university. I am simply saying that you should develop a questioning attitude. It is only when you question, you can learn new things and create new inventions.

Dare to be different. Never mind what's in style or what's the trend; follow your heart and let destiny be your guide.

On this wave of creativity,new ideas will germinate and the world will be changed forever.
