Believing in what others overlook

Difference of the Day #245

Originality is often misunderstood. People assume it’s about knowing secrets no one else has discovered. But here’s the truth: originality doesn’t come from knowledge; it comes from conviction.

To do something truly original, you don’t need to uncover a lost manuscript or invent a groundbreaking formula. Instead, you need the guts to believe in something others overlook or dismiss. It’s like being the one person who bets on a dark horse because you see potential where others see failure.

Think about it—every great idea, from Copernicus’ heliocentric theory to the Wright brothers’ flying machine, started with a belief that seemed absurd at the time. Original thinkers don’t just follow facts; they challenge assumptions.

So, stop waiting to know everything. Take a stand on what feels true to you, even if it’s unpopular. Because the real test of originality is not knowledge—it’s courage.

Today, Make A Difference.
