Roger Bobo on Having the Courage to Be Creative
Andrew Hitz
Some serious wisdom here from Roger Bobo in Episode 174 of The Brass Junkies:
"And I think that I would also advise people to allow themselves to be unique. Allow yourself to be different. Take the chance and do something different and it may go for you...
It's so important I think to have the courage to be unique. Because if you're following somebody else's MO, then you're going to be a shadow of somebody else."
YES!
We are taught to blend in from a very early age.
No one gets sent to the principal's office for blending in.
It doesn’t take courage to wear the same clothing as everyone else.
It doesn’t take courage to play a senior recital that looks and sounds exactly like every other senior recital.
It does take courage to be unique. And that is what gets traction in the world today.
Do whatever it takes to muster the courage to be unique. Because blending in is a sucker's bet.
Thanks for the reminder, Maestro Bobo.
