All our lives we are told we are unique and special.  All our lives we are told being a stand-out is a good thing. And all of our lives, we watch everyone around us cajole, ridicule, make fun of, envy, and imitate people who actually are different somehow. And deep down in side, all we really want is to be the same as everyone else. To be accepted and fit in.

And then to be the best!

The loner! The Brave Wolf! The Explorer! The one with all the answers, and the cure, and the money, and most patience and the most …
