“Stay weird, stay different, and then when it’s your turn to be on this stage…please pass this message along.” – Graham Moore Academy Awards acceptance speech for Best Adapted Screenplay for “The Imitation Game”.
There is nothing more that could possibly be added. Expand the concept, understanding, and definition of “stage” and make it apply to you and your life. Stay original and unique and know that you will find yourself surrounded by other weird and different people, your tribe, and together, you will change, influence, color, and inspire the world. Stay weird. It is what makes you special and what will make successful. Your differences provide a unique perspective, keep it close, protect it, value it.
