I love that quote you see as I've always found teamwork hard, yet at heart I know doing things as part of a team makes things a whole lot easier. The adage, 'There's no 'I' in team' comes to mind yet I know how difficult it can be if you see things differently to everyone else. A lot of the time I see things differently.
I mean, what do you do? Go with the flow and keep your opinions to yourself even though you know the outcome isn't promising? Or do you alienate yourself and become the person everyone loves to hate. Maybe at one point in your career you've experienced this equation and learned to temper your opinions and gone for the simpler and safer option to pipe down.
You see it's far too easy to go with the flow; to join in with the crowd and disappear into its camouflage. The camouflage that exists to cover over our thoughts and opinions. It’s so average IMHO.
Well, my Team doesn't work like that, and sure in the beginning it was just me standing out from the world around me like a proverbial sore thumb. I didn't care though as I knew my own direction and where I wanted to go and I decided that if people wanted to go with me, then so be it - and if they didn’t, they weren’t part of my team.
And if your world right now, isn't the right place and the team you're in isn't playing your way - find another and be thankful that you’ve had a lucky escape.
Remember it’s your life and your time to shine my friends.
