DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

Have you ever had a situation when you have to choose between yes or no, and you choice was different from others, but you keep your mouth buttoned all the time. And later, you’ll have this kind of thinking in your mind,

‘’if only I had the guts to utter my opinion.’’

Different is defines as not the same from somebody or something. Most people do not like to be different from one another. Why? They think being different means they are totally a freak or a weirdo-silly thought, aren’t they? But then, have you ever considered in your life, what being different is all about? It can be unique, special or you are the only one of a kind. Sounds not bad, right? So you see, being different is not a thing that you must avoided in your life. In fact, it is good to be different.   People can’t notice your presence in the crowd if all of you are the same.  Even teachers remember their students’ name by the differences that each of them posses. However, teenagers especially, do not want to be different- they are afraid they won’t be accepted among their friends or their clique. Actually, it is a matter of our own choices, either we want to be ordinary or extraordinary.
