Remarkable – Wishing vs. Being
Posted on | Januar 9, 2012 | No Comments
“Nothing is so common-place as to wish to be remarkable.”
William Shakespeare
If that is so, why are so few people remarkable?
Every day, it is hard to find remarkability. Mediocrity goes a long way…
I guess, many people think that it is hard to be remarkable. But when you think of it, it is probably not. I notice every day how small gestures can make people stand out. A fine error-free piece of work. A well-thought email. A task completed in time. A task completed until the end. An expectation managed properly. A concern taken off my mind without me having to express it. It’s like going the extra mile… which often can be walked in the extra minute.
In a see of mediocrity, remarkable acts stand out. Why don’t you try to stand out today and see what it does for you?
–> Think about how this advice can help you to become more effective today.
My recommendation: Write “Small acts of remarkability” on a post-it and stick it somewhere you can see it. For every thing that you do today, think about how you can make it stand out from the ordinary. Your future self will thank you.
