Did you get that? I am sorry if you thought otherwise.<\/p>\n

Brian Eno<\/b> is a musician par excellence. He is considered to be the inventor | father of what we refer to today as ‘ ambient music<\/span><\/i> ‘. His quote is worth paying a load of attention to. Here goes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ” People often want to aim for the biggest, the most obvious target and hit it smack in the bull’s eye “, Eno<\/strong> says. \u201cOf course with everybody else aiming there as well that makes it very hard to hit.\u201d The alternative? \u201cShoot the arrow, then paint the target around it<\/span>,\u201d Eno explains. \u201cMake the niches in which you finally reside<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What is the prognosis here?\u00a0Fly away from the competition<\/span><\/i>. We are so often tempted by the\u00a0SOS(Sea of Sameness)<\/span><\/i>, the resident comfort of\u00a0herd mentality<\/i><\/span>\u00a0or the\u00a0wisdom of the crowds !! <\/span>. <\/i>Even though it is very much a drift into a tumultuous Red Ocean <\/span><\/i>territory. Playing it safe has never been more dangerous.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instead of aiming for the same target as other writers, sportsmen, designers, musicians\u2014trying to out-write, out-play, out-sing or out-design them, focus on how you can stand out, your uniqueness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Time to stop suppressing your unique crafts and skills because they don’t conform, adhere or comply in the default ecosystem dictated by the omnipresent industrial complex of scale.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Embrace your weirdness, idiosyncrasies, your anomalies, your contrasts and bring them to the foreground. And here’s the thing : We notice things because of contrast<\/em><\/span>. Something stands out because it\u2019s different from what surrounds it. Celebrate your difference<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you get that?
