Very gratifying. <BR/><BR/>Often, however, my inability to follow a fad -- whether it's a "professionally non-conformist" one or not -- is obliviousness, not self-confidence.

Who cares if the beat of your drum matches with the beat of another? For some, if they are true to themselves, that'll happen. They shouldn't go out of their way to be non-conformist. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if more people were true to themselves society would no doubt see drastic change. (For the better, in my opinion. We'd likely be less obsessed with meaningless status symbols and other nonsense.) <BR/><BR/>It seems conformism and non-conformism are equally destructive in the context of, "this is how I should be" as opposed to, "this is how I am."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-26063608060564502022008-03-06T16:33:00.000+00:002008-03-06T16:33:00.000+00:00You're neither, just plain old predictable, dull a...You're neither, just plain old predictable, dull as dishwater Eolake. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
