It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that if we follow spec, check the boxes, do as we’re told, we’ll impress someone.
Maybe it’s our boss or our significant other or maybe our self.
But when does that truly pan out? Can you think of an example? Or if you can, did it last more than 5 minutes? or after the next task was assigned?
Didn’t think so.
People are impressed with the unusual, the unexpected, and the weird.
The things we didn’t think we could do and more often times the things we knew we could but didn’t want to.
It’s the stuff at the edge. The spot that’s uncomfortable. The spot where you’re not sure it’s going to work.
Stay Positive & Go Ahead, Impress Them… Actually Impress Them
