Each man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. --Mark Twain
What does it mean to be different? How does it feel? Is it okay to act or look or be different from everyone else at times? Sometimes, maybe even most of the time, it feels safer to blend into the crowd. We don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. But sometimes it's when we are different that we discover new things no one has ever thought of or done before.
We don't want to spend our whole lives doing only what others do. And there are times when we must take a stand if what others are doing is wrong. Perhaps it's good practice to try to do some little thing differently once in a while, to stand out from the crowd, just to get used to it. We might even like it. After all, if no one ever dares to be different, how would our world ever change for the better?
What little thing can I do to stand out from the crowd today?
I have a little electric scooter that I use around town. Nobody else around here has one exactly like it. there are a few larger gas powered scooters. Oh,,, there was one other electric scooter that I saw last summer. I get a lot of comments as I buzz by. Most people say they think it is really cool.

I know of a guy who lost his D. lic and drove a scooter all over to the bars. Claimed he stayed off the road. He even had a dog that rode in the front basket? A man lost his lic and use to ride a lawn mower to the coffee shop. I wonder if this is what Mark Twain meant ???
