Being a leader involves being out in front of the crowds and that most likely includes being on the edges of creativity. The person who follows the crowds, will usually get no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone, taking paths that are less traveled, is likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before.

Creativity in living is not without its attendant difficulties, for peculiarity breeds contempt. And the unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were on the right track, they’ll say it was obvious all along.

It’s quite often that we find ourselves faced with two choices in life; we can dissolve into the mainstream becoming like everyone else and following the crowd, or we can be distinct and in a leadership position, blazing new paths for others to follow. But to be distinct we must also be different. And to be different, means we must strive to be what no one else can be, but rather what only each of us can be.
