Blog Assingment 10 A

Here is a LINK to an article on changethis.com called "Freak Factor: Discovering Uniqueness by Flaunting Weakness".  This article gives nine different suggestions about being more unique is working with your creative process.  These nine things are: What is my problem?, What is your problem? Flawless: There's nothing wrong with you, Forget it: don't try to fix your weaknesses, Foundation: build on your strengths, Focus: you can't do both, Fit: find the right spot, Freak: the power of uniqueness, Freak Factory: putting your quirks to work.  For this assignment we had to pick three of this suggestions to talk about in a blog post.  The three suggestions that I have chosen are: Forget it: don't try to fix your weaknesses, Foundation: build on your strengths, and Fit: find the right spot.  The first suggestion is Forget it: don't try to fix your weaknesses.  This one seemed really good to me because it is basically just telling people to be themselves.  You cannot be creative in this world if you just fall in line and do whatever everyone else in the world is doing.  In order to do something original you need to tap into your own creative self to dig out a really good and original idea that can potentially change the world.  The second suggestion that I chose was Foundation: build on your strengths.  This suggestion is all about not trying to do things that you aren't meant to do.  For example if you are a very talented painter but are not very good at sculpting you shouldn't grow up to be a sculptor because this is not one of your true strengths.  Finding your strengths and using them to your advantage will help you to be as successful as possible in your career and in life in general.  The third and final suggestion that I chose from this article was Fit: find the right spot.  This sort of goes along with the second suggestion that I chose.  Being comfortable at where you are in life is what makes is enjoyable.  These three tips and the rest are really great for being the unique person that you were always meant to be.
