In this era of public survival through continuous storytelling, people want someone who might surprise them.

About This Quote

In today’s society, we want those who might surprise us. We want those who may not be as traditional as we are, or as traditional as they were. We want those who may not fit the box. The best example of this is Steve Jobs.

He was different than all others, but he was so much more than we could have expected from him. This quote also reflects how we now live and interact online and through social media. As a result, our lives and stories are shared and discovered by millions of people around the world.

Therefore, it is important to be different for this very reason.
