Over the past few decades, it has been seriously argued which is better behavior to succeed between being different from others or being similar to others. Some people might believe that being similar to others is the best, while others might disagree with it. However, I think it is better being different from others than being similar to others. Actually, I have a couple of reasons to support my idea. I will clearly show and develop them in the next following paragraphs below.
To begin with, in school, to be a successful student, you have to behave differently from other students. You cannot be a successful student, if you are acting normal. There are many ways to succeed during school life. Having a outstanding score in a certain subject, showing other classmates your great sports skill, or being popular in class can be examples of that. If you are not different from others, none of these examples will be given to you. Which means you cannot succeed. You have to show your speciality to your teachers and friends. Some people might say that other students will consider you bumptious and too forward. They will bully you or make you an outcast. Being bullied is far from success. Human beings naturally don't like extraordinary. They love to be similar to others and love others who are similar to them. They feel uncomfortable with the person who is different. If having a lot of friends and being popular is one way to successful school life, you should act normal. Yet, being different from others doesn't mean that you should think highly of yourself. You should have your own speciality and not act rude or selfish to other students. What I want to say is that, you should make more effort to improve your grades, skills of playing sports, or social skills. Improved skills will make you noticeable to your teachers and classmates. Some of other students might envy you, but I'm sure that if you have both good social skills and excellent talent, everyone wants to be your friend. This is how you succeed in school.
Moreover, after you get a job, in order to succeed, you have to be different from others at your working place. You must make yourself outstanding, so that your boss can notice you. I'm sure that the word 'outstanding' refers 'stand out'. If your boss notice you, you will have more chance to get promoted. Unlike school, there will be always a favored employee. This is because your boss is not a teacher, he or she is a human with emotion, and doesn't have any reason to be fair to all of the employees. Some people might believe that if you are outstanding and boss loves you, other employees will envy you. They will consider you as a flattery person. Also, as you get more opportunity to be promoted, there will be more chance for you to make mistakes. The opportunity of promotion does not simply given to you. The boss will give you a certain task and when you manage the task successfully, then you can get promoted. If you make any mistake, you will ruin your reputation easily. On the contrary, if you don't make any mistakes or make only small mistakes, your boss will trust you and he or she will overlook your mistakes. Plus, your co-workers are rival. They are not classmates and they are not going to be your friends. All you have to do is being polite to them and try not to be bossy. Since, you are hard-working and honest person, there is nothing to be afraid. While you are taking too much care on how other people will think about you and try to be normal, your rivals will take away your chances. Therefore, I think in order to succeed, it is better being different from others.
