[ Stand out ]

I was pleased to meet with a young engineer today, who has several goals and ideals.  And, lots of energy and enthusiasm.  One of the goals mentioned was: “to stand out from the crowd”.

So then, ok, what makes a person ‘stand out from the crowd’? I asked her to name some.  It could be other professionals, maybe an actor, musician, or family member or friend. 

Then we discussed, what characteristics or achievements do they have, that make them stand out so. That’s where the magic is, identifying that. What it is, that makes someone ‘stand out’ from the crowd.
