How to stand out of the crowd. Now, this is a question that most individuals ask themselves every day because they want to identify themselves as someone unique. However, it is something that is extremely difficult to do. Because we as human beings tend to follow the general trends that are prevailing in the market, and just copy what others are doing, just to stay in the game, if you know what I'm saying. So if you want to effectively stand out of the crowd, there are certain things that you will have to do. And in this lecture, I will be sharing with you 10 important things that you must do.

If you want to identify yourself as someone unique. The first thing that you will have to do is to ask yourself this question what standing out of the crowd means to you? Is it about looking different from everyone else around you? Or is it about going the extra mile just to prove that you are one of a kind at the same time standing out of the crowd might be that you want to be your best or live your best, or you want to have a unique look that has not been borrowed from anyone else? At its most basic standing out to the crowd basically means that you have to embrace your individuality and trust the choices that you are making for yourself. The second thing that you will have to do is that you will have to think differently.

Now standing out of the crowd won't happen if you are thinking with the crowd. Now there will be times when the crowd think also aligns with what you're thinking of. But what about all those occasions when it does not. In such cases, you should be prepared to voice your differences and your preferences, just to show to others that you are someone who thinks for him or herself. And in such cases, it is very important that you are knowledgeable and self assured. So you must do your homework properly before you speak your mind out.

The third important thing that you have to realize is that you cannot be swayed by the crowd. Now the pace at which the crowd moves can be relentless. And there will be times where you cannot even notice how quickly they change their mind. And everyone in the crowd is so busy with their daily lives and their routines from nine to five, five days a week. And so on, they don't even realize that what they're doing, does it contribute to the bigger picture or not? So in such cases, you have to stop and think for yourself that whether whatever that you're doing makes sense or not, just because everyone else has a gadget x, do you need it or not?

Will it enhance your life in any way. So these are tough questions and important ones that you have to ask yourself so that you can think about what's happening around you, rather than just follow what other people are doing. Following this, what you have to do is that you have to take chances and work very hard in order to fulfill your dreams. I would like to inform you over here that if you take the right risks or chances and if they work out, they can catapult you forward towards your main objectives. Now, the thing is that many individuals don't take chances or risk because they are afraid of failure. But at the same time, I would like to tell you that without failure, nothing new can begin.

You will learn new things and achieve greater things only if you are willing to fail because every failure that you will face will be a lesson to you. And you should learn from that. And if you keep trying hard, I guarantee that eventually you will succeed. The next point that I would like to tell you that initially, I mentioned that you should think differently. Now I'm asking you to do things differently. If you are able to do things in a unique way, you will automatically be highlighted.

So try to demonstrate the power of being the first one to do things differently and take unique initiatives that help you differentiate yourself from everyone else. After this comes a very important point, and that is to have good manners. Now, both professionally and personally, you will come across people who are rude and don't know how to talk and won't greet you properly either. But this is something that you should never even consider doing. Because if you have good manners, if you respect people, if you talk to them nicely, if you say thank you on the little things that people do for you, trust me when I say this, that you will identify yourself as someone very different from everyone else. Because if you are a person who has good manners, you will gain tremendous amount of respect in the eyes of the other And a respectable person is someone who is remembered for a very long time.

So keep this in mind that despite anything that's happening around you, always maintain very good manners so that people remember you for a long time. My next suggestion to you is that whenever you're meeting new people, you should shake your hand in a way that it shows passion and strength. And while doing so, please do not forget to smile. What happens is that in today's world, where people are all absorbed in whatever that they're doing, and their daily lives and routines, they forget one basic step, which is to smile, and to greet people in a positively genuine way. So if others are not doing this, make sure that you do. My next suggestion to you is that you should always keep your word and your promise so that people consider you as a reliable person.

Keep in mind that reliability makes you memorable, and causes you to stand well above all the Forgotten promise breakers. So if you've said that you will do something, you make sure that you do it. standing out of the crowd, often means that you take action while everyone else stands back. In other words, you should always show initiative. Whenever you are addressed with a problem or a challenging situation, be the very first person to come up with a solution, or some kind of a suggestion that will help you or others solve that particular problem. If you're able to do this effectively, you will identify yourself as someone who is different from the silent majority of people who are just sitting there waiting to be shown what needs to be done next.

So the right initiative can help you in a great deal as far as your uniqueness is concerned. Then finally, the last point that I want to get across and a very important one is that you should always be prepared to help others. So if you're walking down the street, and if you see someone in trouble, don't just assume that someone will be there to help him or her. If you've seen it, then it is your responsibility to help them. So having a decent sense of humanity and trying to help others wherever you can, is something that not only should be used to stand out, but it is your risk. ability as a person and a human being to do this, keep helping others.

And I guarantee that you will be remembered for a very long time. In the end, I would like to tell you that these were the 10 things that I feel you should consider if you want to stand out as someone unique. Having said that, some of these things are very simple. Like for example, having good manners, helping others, and so on. These are things that you can easily do. But there are certain things, for example, going against the flow of the water, or what the crowd is doing, or taking calculated risks and keeping your promises.

These are things that are not very easy to perform. If I take my example, I'm a firm believer that you should always practice what you preach. And if I'm saying all these things, that is because I have been practicing them over a period of time. As far as going against the flow of the crowd is concerned. I would just like to tell you that before I took the plunge to become an entrepreneur, most of my friends and even some of my family members discouraged the idea because I was working in an organization and I had a very good salary and all the best differences that come along. Having said that, I still took the plunge because I believed in myself.

And self confidence is something that will always help you identify yourself as someone unique, because most of the people that you come across these days are those who are just into their routines and are working nine to five jobs and just want to stick around because they are getting one healthy paycheck every month. But as a result, they are not able to spend enough time with their families. They can never travel freely, they can't think of their own initiatives, even if they do, they are not able to spend enough time on them so that they can bring them to life. So I would suggest that you slowly start practicing all the things that I shared in this lecture, and I am confident that after a certain time, you will be able to identify yourself as someone who is unique and hence stand out of the crowd.
