In this article you can read about how you can be succesful in life. Rich Horwath (the editor) claims that in order to realize our full potential, we must embrace the style that makes us unique. Success goes to those who are willing to be different in ways that bring value to others. He mentioned that everyone has a unique style built on differences in background, abilities, temperament, and so forth. The difficult thing is uncovering and living that unique style. He also mentioned that strategy is inherently about doing different things than the competition or doing the same things in different ways than the competition. It's not about being better, it's about being different.
The editor shows us two examples about two people who dared to be different.
1. Damien Hirst a Britis artist created a series of artworks in which dead animals are preserved in formaldehyde. His artwork caused a great debate on what is or is not art. Hirst's different artistic activity has propelled him to become reportedly Britain's richest living artist
2. Grant Achatz an award-winning chef has taken the common activity of cooking and is transforming it in different ways. His latest restaurant, Next, erves four menus per year, from great moments in culinary history or the future. Achatz has taken the common activity of running a restaurant and is constantly finding new ways to do it differently.
