Unpopular short opinion
You’re often told you should strive to be the dumbest in the room.
That you’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
And other great motivational ideas. These are centered around motivating you to always push forward.
Because, to paraphrase a certain guy who founded a certain advertising agency - “Reach for the stars. Even if you don’t make it, you won’t come back with a handful of mud”.
That’s one way to go through life. But it definitely isn’t the only one.
What if sometimes you have to stop changing rooms and just strive to be the best person in your room?
What if that’s your mojo and that’s what works for you?
Try different things and see what you land on. No matter what, you won’t regret the experience.
Answer/idea: yellow because I always slam the gas when I see a yellow light.
